"Meet the must-have plate reverb plug-in from Soundtoys and explore the legendary gear that inspired it. SuperPlate brings the unique tonal character of five classic electromechanical plates into your studio – without the massive investment and back-breaking weight of the originals. Its advanced algorithms capture a level of unmatched realism and versatility and create luscious, expansive effects.
At the core of SuperPlate are meticulous models of the EMT 140, EMT 240, Audicon, Stocktronics RX4000, and EcoPlate III reverb units. Its three different flavors of analog coloration – Tube, Solid-State and Clean – can be used in combination with any of SuperPlate’s styles. Its wide range of modern digital features includes infinite decay time, built-in predelay, expanded modulation controls, full-featured EQ for detailed tonal shaping, and a unique decay ducking option that adjusts decay time to reduce overlap or build-up.
"No talking demo of Sequential TAKE-5. I did not use any external FX in the demo; all the delays, reverbs, noises and other effects are part of the TAKE-5 engine & mod matrix. However, I used some slight EQ-ing on some of the sounds (basically limiting the low end).
Had the chance to catch up wit Chris Calutt (Calc) at Superbooth 23 where he showcased the brand new Oberheim OB-X8 Desktop Unit.
Of course, i have made a Bank of Patches for the OB-X8 Keyboard, which is also compatible with the the Desktop Module.

"A quick demo of the upgraded Le Strum MIDI controller. Available from six4pix.com/grandstrum"
"LE GRAND STRUM is a new version of our popular LE STRUM controller. It comes pre-assembled, in a larger format, with high quality 12mm tactile switches and gold plated strum pads.
To play MIDI notes, you hold down one of the chord buttons and touch the tip of the stylus to the strum plate. The contacts on the strum plate are mapped to notes of the chord across multiple octaves and you can create guitar-like strums, massive chord sweeps and arpeggios by moving the stylus across the strum plate.
36 chord buttons give you immediate access to 84 different chords (maj, min, dom7, maj7, min7, aug, dim for 12 root notes). You can also play sus4, add6 and add9 chord variations (with some limitations) The 16 pad, gold plated strum plate has a tapering layout which allows fast chord strums at the top and individual note picking at the bottom. Two new circular strum areas duplicate notes from the main pads and allow you to play continuous arpeggios by moving the stylus in a circular motion. Multiple chord modes are offered, including stacked triads, guitar chord voicing, “drone” chords on second MIDI channel and scale mapping for playing melodies 5 pin MIDI socket for direct connection MIDI synthesizer hardware or to a computer (Using a suitable MIDI interface/USB-MIDI cable) Long life from a 9V PP3 battery (7mA current draw typical). Battery not included Integral enclosed acrylic base plate with leather stylus holder and acrylic side legs/hand-grips and non-slip rubber feet Open-source hardware and firmware and hackable design – with PCB pads for attaching a second stylus and external pads or strings Approx size – 17 x 12 x 3.5cms. Approx weight – 250g without battery A fun, unique and expressive MIDI controller.Great for learning about chord progressions and a helpful songwriting tool LE GRAND STRUM shares the same firmware and function with the LE STRUM DIY kit.
Please note that synthesizer hardware or software is required to make sound. LE GRAND STRUM is a MIDI controller and does not make any sound by itself!"

About 'Patching'.
This series continues to be a reminder to us, and hopefully to you:
Take the time to stumble in the dark a little...figure something out...control some voltage...
...enjoy PATCHING.
