Sonic LAB: Soma Terra Desktop - Conceptual Touch Synthesizer
video upload by sonicstate
"Another conceptual instrument from the folks at SOMA - the Terra is an interesting device with a DSP heart and an organic touch based interface. With 12 velocity and touch sensitive (note triggers) and four modifier controls which can radically alter the tone.
There are 32 algorithms which drive the internal sound engine and each of these can have additional variations - which are selected by the triangular set of touch buttons.
Also with a delay or reverb (one or the other)
The tuning of the note sensors can be done in semitones and microtuning making the scales and notes playable extremely unusual, or usual - the tunings are saved per patch.
In addition there are envelope settings for each bank of buttons, the decay/release or fade out of both the actual notes played and the modifier.
Additional tuning is handled by the pitch shifters - generally + 1 or 2 octaves and down -1 -2, with a fifth by pressing two together.
The results are pretty unusual, although you can easily tune Terra to be in key if you want to play with others.
Priced at €1300(+tax) $1599

Crumar Spirit - Bob Moog's Italian Synthesizer Reborn
video upload by HAINBACH
I will put up a follow-up post when this goes live, and/or you can bookmark this post and check back as well. The Crumar Spirit is back.
"My friends from @museodelsynthmarchigiano1717, the Italian synthesizer museum, invited me again to visit them in Italy. This time, they had something new and old to show me: a faithful re-creation of the rare Bob Moog designed Crumar Spirit mono synthesizer. They teamed up with Crumar to bring this little known instrument back to life, staying as close to the original as possible. In this video I demo the synth and tell the story of how it came about."
According to Crumar in the video, the new Crumar Spirit will be limited to 100 units, but polyphonic and desktop versions might be coming.
Sequencer / Berlin School live set with Stepic 1.5
video upload by Martin Stürtzer
"In this live session I demonstrate the new features of version 1.5 of "Stepic". The free update introduces transposing through incoming midi notes, a new chord mode and an arpeggiator. It is also possible to select the pattern with a midi note. I am going to release a "talking video" in which I explain the new features in detail soon.
Synths in this video are (in order of appearance): Ob-6, Virus TI, Prophet 10. Drums are from Repro-5.

If you want to get Stepic and help me with a small commission please use this link: https://devicemeister.com/p/martin/?c..."
"Stepic isn't just a powerful and versatile polyphonic step sequencer. 8 additional and fully integrated modulation sequencers make it a true sound shaping tool. Use them to automate any parameter (e.g. Filter Cutoff, Wavetable Position, Effect Amount) of your favorite synthesizers or effect devices. With its support for MIDI CC, Stepic offers you parameter control for both software plug-ins and hardware devices.
By assigning different tempos and sequence lengths to the modulation sequencers, Stepic lets you create deep, polyrhythmic parameter progressions that add a lot of motion and uniqueness to your sound. And if that's not enough, bring the 200+ random generators into play ;-)"

ELZ_1 play will now also add the Shimmer Reverb!
video upload by SONICWARE
"https://dr.yuendo.jp/pages/elz_1-play
About 50 more units and Shimmer reverb
Thankfully, we have received requests from many people to increase production.
We are expecting a certain number of units, so we have decided to produce an additional 50 units for December shipment. If you are interested, please reserve your 'ELZ_1 play' as soon as possible.
Also, as a result of our recent survey, many of you polled for the Shimmer Reverb, but there were slightly more poll for the ZTRINGS, so we have decided to include the ZTRINGS.
However, thanks to your support, we will be able to increase production, and since many of you polled for the Shimmer Reverb, we have decided to include a shimmer reverb as well, as a token of our appreciation.
Thank you for your continued support.

50台の増産とシマーリバーブにつきまして
大変有難いことに多くの方から増産のご要望を頂戴しました。
ある程度の台数が見込めそうですので、年内分として50台追加生産することになりました。ご興味のある方は是非お早めにご予約ください。
また、先日実施したアンケートの結果、シマーリバーブへ投票して頂いた方も多くいらっしゃったのですが、ZTRINGSへの投票が少し多かったため、ZTRINGSの搭載が決定いたしました。
しかし、皆様のご支援のおかげで生産量を増やすことができますし、シマーリバーブへ投票してくださった方も多くいらっしゃいましたので、感謝の気持ちを込めてシマーリバーブも搭載を決定致しました。
引き続き応援のほどよろしくお願いいたします。
