Fast Record trigger drums with Four Bricks Rook module from Shakmat Modular

Published on Dec 11, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I have another part of how to record fast trigger drums from Four Bricks Rook-Quad Trigger Sequence Generator module from Shakmat Modular.
When you use the Four Bricks Rook you basically have your drums under your hand under the pad and only your creativity limits you what to knock on the pads.
For me, this is a great module, it allows you to create a pattern in a dozen or so seconds without complicated programming, it has a lot of possibilities to create many paterns and write them, load, choose paternal length from 1 to 32 steps, here I used fast short 4. plus amazing mode FILL which I showed later for the arrangement and recording the fill in real time and many more function. definitely a strong thing at hand."

Announcing Bitwig Studio 2.5 Beta

Published on Dec 11, 2018 bitwig

"We're proud to announce our third point update this year, Bitwig Studio 2.5.
For this update, we chose a few select features that were either requested or inspired by our community."

On the synth front:

"NEW SOUND CONTENT: ANALOG WAVES

The building blocks of synthesis - classic sources ready to go.

Coinciding with Bitwig Studio 2.5 is "Analog Waves." Designed in collaboration with Boxed Ear, this package comprises 60 Sampler presets, each made with hundreds of full-frequency oscillator waveforms. From rumbling lows to guttural mids and sparkling highs, a full-bandwidth sound is the best way to bring analog sources into a digital environment.

If you prefer polished presets, then the ready-to-go sounds will have you covered. But this pack is also ideal for your own sound design. By wrapping all 760-some samples into a single multisample, one click will load all the pure and layered oscillators so your sound sculpting can begin. (Don’t worry; our recently revamped Sampler is made for any number of samples and layers.)
Analog oscillators are a thing to behold — and Bitwig Studio natively works with them. But when hardware is out of reach, this rich set of samples proves to be an excellent sidekick.
Download "Analog Waves" from the Bitwig Studio Package Manager and start crafting your unique sounds today. Check out the demos below."

Cherry Audio announces the release of Voltage Module Designer

"Cherry Audio is proud to announce the release of Voltage Module Designer, a companion development tool created to facilitate the development of modules for use in Voltage Modular, their innovative new modular synthesis platform. Voltage Module Designer is a complete integrated development environment that simplifies module layout, coding, testing, and publishing so that users can quickly implement their module ideas and add them as working modules to their Voltage Modular library or even submit them for sale on the Cherry Audio store and Voltage Modular in-app store. All modules in Voltage Modular, whether from Cherry Audio or thirdparty developers, were created and built with Voltage Module Designer.

Mateusz Wozniak, Head of Development at PSPaudioware.com, states, 'The Voltage Module Designer is the easiest tool for designing your own piece of music software that I have ever worked with. It combines an extremely easy visual development environment with the algorithmic flexibility of Java. I wish that doing plug-in prototypes in any format would be as easy as doing release versions in Module Designer.'

MIDERA | The derelict DX7s

Published on Dec 10, 2018 MIDERA

"I picked up this terribly uncared for DX7s from a middle school band teacher tonight. There was tape above three keys (indicating that they likely didn't work), he said the whole thing didn't make any sounds, one key was raised above the others, and that something came up on the screen. Well, yes, the battery needs to be replaced, and so does that key, but everything else worked fine. She's just a little abused. This was one of the messed up patches that was on the DX7s, I loved it so much, I had to do something with it before I replace the battery."

AKAI AX80

Published on Dec 10, 2018 Joakim Floke

"The synth that got forgotten, shamed and never got to it's chance. People called it dull and dry sounding... F... that! This thing is one of the best sounding synths made, you just need some FX to bring it to light. Dual DCO + SUB, 4 LFO(!), 2 ENV, Sync, PWM, Analog Filter, Velocity... If you can't make anything from that, play nintendo!
Just using a bit of Eventide H9 to get more life in to it, it really shines."

"Original vintage, c 1980 moog prodigy with custom cocaine chic white cabinet. This synth is in excellent functional condition. It has just been serviced and calibrated, and is in 100% perfect working order. Every key, function, knob and switch operates as designed, and the synth sounds...amazing. It’s the super desireable version with full cv gate I/o functionality."

Mini Jam Monday #32 | Korg Volca FM, Keys, & Sample + Volca Mix

Published on Dec 10, 2018 littleBIGsynths

"Hey guys! 🙂 I didn't work today so I figured I would try and get a mini jam in... and this is what I got. This one was interesting because it was my first time using the Korg Volca Mix in a jam since I bought it. It was a fun jam, but I am still trying to determine whether or not the Volca Mix was worth the money.... 🤔 lol It certainly has some useful features, but it definitely could have been a bit better with at least 1 more channel/input. 😔 Fortunately, I tend to use about 3 Volcas at a time anyways... so it works out. lol 😏

For this jam, I have the Volca Keys playing the main sequences (bass and rhythm melody); the Volca FM is playing some arpeggios; and the Volca Sample is on drum/percussion duties. All of the audio is being mixed by the Volca Mix with some reverb provided by the Boss RV-6.

Hope you guys enjoy this video. Thank you for watching, littleBIGsynths.👍"
