"Donner has announced their latest product, the D1 sample-based drum machine and sequencer at NAMM 2023. Designed for the entry-level market, the 12-channel D1 features real-time recording and can switch between function keys to create drum patterns easily. It is equipped with RGB velocity-sensitive pads and five knobs with touch function, and will be shipped with factory content from Loopmasters.

Jake from Donner gave us a look at the prototype, with, full-size MIDI in and out, headphone output, and an auxiliary in that allows users to sample. Although the prototype has only half the functions working at the moment, Jake gave us a good idea of what the new product will have to offer.

The D1 will be released by the end of May 2023

The synth is modular and constantly evolving, with generators on the left, effects on the right, and modulators at the bottom. The interface is always laid out the same way, making it easy to use. Users can customize it to their own taste, making it as complex or simple as they like.

Phaseplant offers a variety of sound options, including analog and granular engines, wave table systems, samples, noise, and FM. It also includes familiar modulators like LFOs and envelopes, selectable when needed. For beginners, the software offers tutorial templates, making it easy to get started.

Follow-up to: FL Studio Arcade Machine.

"Endlesss Studio, the company behind the collaborative music-making platform, Endlesss, showcased the world's first beat-making arcade machine at NAMM 2023. MJ, an Endlesss user, initially proposed the idea of having an arcade machine for beat-making, and Endlesss Studio took his prototype and developed it into the fifth iteration of the beat-making arcade machine. The hardware and software have undergone significant improvements, and the machine runs on a Windows PC with plugins, including nature instruments and massive. The arcade machine has a scripting engine, enabling the creation of custom sampler and plug-in support.

The Endlesss beat-making arcade machine is perfect for real-time collaborative music production, as it runs on the Endless platform, allowing users to interact with others from all over the world. The arcade machine is only the beginning of the beat machine, as Endlesss Studio is about to announce a custom sampler, which allows users to build their own sample packs inside Endless. Furthermore, the arcade machine has a public jam feature where users can find people to collaborate with globally.

Finally, the Endlesss beat-making arcade machine provides users with the ability to log in to any device with their ID, as their creative tools are tied to their ID, rather than the device itself. This feature allows users to build their own sample packs and have access to them on any device they log in to. More information on the Endless beat-making arcade machine can be found on the Endlesss Studio website.

NAMM 2023: Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave

video upload by CatSynth TV

"A demo of 3rd Wave, a new synthesizer from Groove Synthesis that can emulate the sound and behavior of the infamous PPG Wave synthesizers of the 1980s as well as more modern wavetable synthesis.

To find out more, please visit https://www.groovesynthesis.com/

'The 3rd Wave is a powerhouse wavetable synth with 24-voice polyphony and 4-part multi-timbral capability that’s like having four independent synthesizers at your fingerprints.

Each of its 3 oscillators per voice can be

- A classic PPG-era wavetable
- A high-resolution complex wavetable
- An analog-modeled waveform'

Low-Gain Electronics - VCA / Comp module first tests.

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Playing around with the new VCA/Comp. 95% bug free. Will require a quick pcb revision but overall happy with this performance. This patch is showing the triangle out of the LGE130 tri core vco into the -IN on the comparator with output of onside of the LGE114 Dual Slopes Compact. Acting as a triangle to square wave converter with PWM. Output of Comparator into VCA above being controlled by second half of Dual Slopes Compact. Nothing fancy. Just some fun / fat PWM rhythms!"
