What to expect from KORG's new lab in Berlin

Published on Feb 25, 2020 FACTmagazine

"Tatsuya Takahashi has helped to create some of the best selling synths of the past decade, including KORG’s Volca line, Monotron and Aphex Twin-approved Monologue. This year, he’s embarking on his biggest challenge yet: heading up a Berlin-based subsidiary of KORG alongside E-RM founder Maximilian Rest.

FACT met up with Takahashi and Rest to find out more about KORG Germany and what we can expect from their new instrument lab, what the office might include and what kind of people they’re looking to hire.

Introducing Daisy: A $29 Embedded Platform for Music Hardware Devices from Electrosmith

Update: Kickstarter video added above.

You might remember Electrosmith's Daisy from previous posts including videos here.

Daisy is now on Kickstarter here.

"Electrosmith, a brand dedicated to DIY electronics, is announcing Daisy, an embedded platform for music. Create powerful electronic instruments and sound processors with an open source audio development board!

Daisy features everything you need for creating high fidelity audio hardware devices. Just plug in a USB cable and start making sound. No soldering required. Whether you're teaching classes in STEM education, or creating your next audio product, Daisy will revolutionize your process through a seamless, uncompromising platform.

Why Daisy?

Programmability: Daisy supports a number of programming languages including Arduino, Pure Data, Max/MSP, and C++.

High Fidelity Audio: Daisy features 24-bit stereo audio hardware with up to 192kHz sample rate and 32-bit floating point DSP processing.

Small Form Factor: Smaller than a stick of gum, the Daisy measures in at just 18mm x 51mm.

Affordable Price Tag: Unlike other dev boards that require more than one product to create audio, Daisy can be used on its own, and is only $29!

Easy To Use: Getting started is a breeze, thanks to four, Daisy-powered evaluation platforms:

Petal - Guitar Pedal

Patch - Eurorack module

Field - Desktop Synth

Pod - Breakout Board"

Mutable Instruments Ambika demo -Ambika Kez OS

Published on Feb 24, 2020 MIDERA

"Note: Fair warning - I use Eventide Blackhole so if you have problems listening to demos with FX you won't enjoy this one. Secondly, I spend the second half just making patches from scratch. This is quite boring to me, but I left it in, maybe it'll be helpful to you? My hands get in the way though - sorry about that. Anyway, see below:

Fiddling about with a new OS based on YAM (Yet Another Mutation) called Kez (or Ambika Live!)? Something like that. Found here: https://forum.mutable-instruments.net...
