"Play All Day are launching PlayFader on 30th September at Machina Bristronica.

Come and be one of the first to get your hands on their new 2 channel CV performance looper, apparently it has a dedicated Fun button!

While we wait for the 30th though, check out their Ambient Sound & Music Retreats. Yes they know about the acronym, but they don’t like to shout about it, of course...

Set in a lush villa in Mallorca, this is not like other retreats. It’s a holiday for, well... people like us!

With your very own Field Kit of wonderful music devices to play with for the whole week, guest facilitators, sound walks, workshops, performances, an instrument library and full catering… it really is unlike any other retreat we’ve ever seen.

Check the website for more information and all booking details for their next sessions in November ’23 and Spring ’24. You can also sign up to their newsletter on their website to get exclusive previews of PlayFader and special offers on the Ambient Sound & Music Retreats.

The Synthesizer 101 section is the heart of the system, from which you can add any of the other modules of your choice.

Delta CEP A2 - Little improvisation

video upload by Jörg Schaaf

"A little improvisation with two Delta CEP A2 synthesizers. You will get an impression of the new Performance Step Sequencers. Allows for adding and removing notes at all positions of the sequence during playback & transpose.

In the beginning I set the left Delta into hold mode. That plays a note or chord until a new note or chord is played."

Resoniq FIC-I - 1:1 Replica of the Rare ISF-1 Cart for the Ensoniq Mirage & Fata Morgana DMS-8 Replica

Resoniq has made a 1:1 replica of the rare ISF-1 expansion cart for the Ensoniq Mirage. It is available pre-built or in DIY kit form. You can find full details at Resoniq here.

If you are not familiar with the ISF-1, ISF stands for Input Sampling Filter. According to this previous post it increases the Mirage sample rate to 50K and contains a 150db/octave roll off filter. You can find a pic of the orginal in that post.

Note Resoniq also appears to be working on a 1:1 replica of the Ensonic DMS-8 rackmount sampler, the Fata Morgana. More info on that to come...
