Published on Feb 5, 2019 synthlegends

"Another video and some improvisation fun tweaking the Roland JUNO-60 through the delay effect of the KORG DW-8000 E. The KORG DW-8000 E is a special modded version of the German distributor. It has an anlog in jack on the backside where you can route external audio signals through the internal delay effect of the DW-8000. Also it has got additional 16 waveforms on the ROM and 64 extra storage for patches. Have fun with this video and if you like, than like:-) Cheers!"

STG Soundlabs: The Radiophonic One | Matt Chadra

Published on Feb 3, 2019 ClavAnother

"Here is a first look at the Radiophonic One, the first complete synthesizer made by STG Soundlabs. This system features the much anticipated .VCO module which is, in my opinion, the most musically useful and innovative Oscillator Module we have seen yet.

This new synth offers immediate gratification, and simply puts a smile on my face.

Also featured in this video is the awesome Sea Devils Filter, a module that has been on my wish list for quite some time now.

As I was having so much fun, I added a bit of reverb and delay."

Akai Professional® Announces 3.0.1 Firmware Update for Force

The Press Release:

"Update introduces new Launch/Note Mode, side-chain compression (the Mother Ducker), updated recording preferences and improved auditioning of samples/loops.

Cumberland, RI USA (February 5, 2019) — Hot off the heels of Force’s public debut at NAMM 2019, Akai Professional, a leading manufacturer of music equipment for performers and producers, today announced the release of a 3.0.1 update that introduces a number of new features and workflow refinements to this ground-breaking live performance and music production device.

Building on Force’s already-impressive capabilities, the 3.0.1 update introduces a highly innovative Launch/Note mode – now users can simultaneously harness the creative power of Force’s Note mode while launching clips on a split, single pad layout. Also included in 3.0.1 is the inclusion of the Mother Ducker and Mother Ducker input effects plugins - recently added to the MPC platform in version 2.4, this pair of processors allows users to create side-chain effects effortlessly via inserts within Force’s mixer window.

- Updated recording preferences allowing users to use fixed length clip recoding
- Improved auditioning of sample and loops within Force’s browser – now, files with
embedded tempo information will audition in sync with Force’s master BPM
- Drum program enhancements –users can mute or solo pads in a drum program
using Force’s hardware control surface
- Force can now load FLAC and OGG files
- The AIR dynamics plugins Compressor, Channel Strip, Maximizer, Transient and
Noise Gate now have metering to clearly indicate the input/output levels and the amount of gain reduction applied.

Force Highlights
- Standalone - no computer required
- 8x8 clip launch matrix with RGB LEDs
- 7” color capacitive multitouch display
- Mic/Instrument/Line inputs, 4 outputs
- MIDI In/Out/Thru via 1/8” TRS inputs (5-pin DIN adapters included)

“At launch, Force immediately garnered unprecedented critical acclaim as a standalone device that offers all conveniences the modern clip-based workflow demands without the need for a computer,” said Dan Gill, Akai Professional Product Manager. “3.0.1 signals our commitment to continually refine the platform, offering new devices and workflow enhancements that cement Force as the undisputed standalone creative powerhouse and an immersive natural extension of user’s creativity.”
