FLOAT // Plaits + Plonk + Rings

Published on Mar 13, 2018 Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

FLOAT // featuring Mutable Instruments Plaits, Intellijel Plonk, and Mutable Instruments Rings. This was also my first test with the absolutely amazing Malekko Varigate 4+ module (can’t believe I didn’t get this sooner, and now I want a second one!) Other modules used include the Erica Synths Black Hole DSP & Black Wavetable VCO, Mutable Instruments Clouds, Make Noise Morphagene, and the Intellijel Metropolis and Tetrapad. I'm also using the Empress Effects Echosystem (off screen) on the Morphagene.

An audio only version can be heard at - https://soundcloud.com/genshi/float-p...

There will be a FLOAT II coming as I refine this piece for an upcoming Modular documentary I will be featured in..."

Sonicsmith's ACS improvement announcement

Published on Mar 13, 2018 Sonicsmith

"Both our Squaver P1 and our ConVertor audio controlled synthesizers got a little face lift when we decided to increase their ACO's gate threshold by 18db to -36dBu.
This significantly decreased the chance of random noises.
All our existing stock is now upgraded and is still offered for 40% discount until stock lasts.
If you are an existing user you can receive this upgrade for free.
Just write us an email at info@sonicsmith.com and we will guide you through the rest.
Our + versions of those synth is still expected to ship early April and is going to be pretty similar to the upgraded current generation."

Behind the Scenes on Steinberg's HALion - An Interview with Head Developer Michael Ruf

Supporting MATRIXSYNTH member, Synthmorph, wrote in to let us know they have an interview up with Michael Ruf, the head developer of HALion. You can find the full interview here.

A short excerpt on the beginning of HALion:

"Since I joined Steinberg only in 2007, I cannot really tell you much about the development before that time, but when we set up the new HALion team in 2007, we were completely aware that the existing code basis had evolved over quite a long time and had come to a point where it was rather difficult to keep up with new technologies like the transition to 64-bit computing. So, the decision was made to develop the whole HALion engine from the ground up, allowing us to create a really modern, modular and flexible engine as the foundation for our future instrument line."
