A Speak & Spell Vocal Effect Plugin?

Published on Dec 10, 2019 once upon a synth

"This is a tutorial and demo of the Soniccharge Bitspeek VST plugin. It's an audio effect plugin which uses technology similar to that used in the old Speak & Spell toys. You can use it to process your vocals to sound like a robot. Or you can use it to inject some lofi vibes into your tracks."

AUDIOKIT L7 LIVE LOOPER RELEASE
12/10/2019

Looping is one of the most exciting things to do on an iOS device. Musicians, vocalists, noise makers, professionals, beatboxers, and hobbyists alike will be delighted by this new looper app from AudioKit.

Inspired by one of the most popular hardware loopers on the market, the legendary RC-505 Loop Station, L7 brings this power to iOS. Easy to use for beginners. Powerful enough for the stage and studio.

L7’s killer features include “VoiceTune” (inspired by Auto-Tune) and the ability to apply eight different effects to each audio track individually. AudioKit L7 is the first iOS looper to have both input (microphone) and output (performance) effects.

You can turn every-day sounds like humming, whistling, and finger tapping into dreamy musical motifs that sound like they were recorded in a professional studio.

Additionally, L7 is the first iOS looper to have effect triggering, which allows you to automatically trigger multiple effect changes in time with the metronome. With this feature you can create powerful, spontaneous musical moments like bass drops and beat changes.

Users can save their sessions and can even export their creations and use them in a professional digital audio workstation (DAW) on their computer to make full-fledged tracks.

L7 is a premium app, which means that once you’ve bought it, it’s entirely yours. There are no in-app purchases, ads, or subscriptions.

It’s available beginning Dec 10th for an intro price of $3.99

This app has an amazing story. Daniel Kuntz started making apps in high school, inspired and enabled by the AudioKit framework. When Daniel met the founder of AudioKit, Aure Prochazka, earlier this year, they quickly discovered their mutual love of loopers.

'AudioKit people were incredibly welcoming, which was a really big deal. I felt like it legitimized my work. It really encouraged me to keep going. I honestly thought they were out of my league. I did not ever consider that we would develop an app together. It’s like a dream come true.' – Daniel Kuntz

Aure was instantly impressed with Daniel’s drive, design skills, and musicality at such a young age. He enthusiastically wanted to partner with Daniel with the mission of creating the most fun and powerful looper for iOS. They might have done it."

What is the future of electronic music production? (Electronic Beats TV)

Published on Dec 9, 2019 Telekom Electronic Beats

"We asked innovative companies like Elektron, Arturia, Novation, Erica Synths, Bastl Instruments and Verbos Electronics as well as artists and notable thinkers like Richie Hawtin, Stimming, Henrik Schwarz, Tim Exile and CDM’s Peter Kirn for their thoughts on how we’ll make electronic music in the future, and if there might be something revolutionary on the horizon when it comes to sound. We also explore the enduring popularity of classic analog sounds, and why producers are still so fascinated with them even after all these years."

OB-6: "The Clockmaker's Dream"

Published on Dec 9, 2019 Kris Lennox

"OB-6. The time thief. Switch it on and before you know it, it is half-past August. Great fun, though.

Strange patch, this one. You'll notice the pitches are inverted due to the ring mod i.e up is down/down is up (to a certain extent). We're in an odd, Escher-like world. It's all went wrong!

Dream or nightmare? Difficult to say. Certainly unusual, that's for sure.

PS excuse video/lighting quality. I had no intention of recording anything tonight, hence no light etc set up.

Best
Kris"

Korg Prophecy Rom Replacement Part 1: Problem ROMs

Published on Nov 6, 2017 andyangst

"A short video demonstrating problems with the Korg Prophecy and ROM firmware versions prior to #18. How to find out your current ROM version. How to open up the Prophecy and to check. Advice on buying replacement ROMs and IC sockets to replace. Removing and replacing ROMs in sockets.

The next part will demonstrate the removal (de-soldering) of Korgs original ROM chips, soldering in new IC sockets and replacing the original chips with version #20 ROMs."

Not seeing part 2 on his channel, so just posting part 1 as an FYI for those interested. Note this only appears to affect syncing with external gear. Curious if the problem is with the Prophecy sending MIDI clock as well or only receiving.
