RK-008 MIDI FX : The MIDI Delay

video upload by Retrokits

"MIDI Delay is an effect from 'Ye olden MIDI days' to emulate a hardware audio delay with a timed note repeat. You can change the note's velocity and note increment per repeat. And the cool thing: It's always synced to the beat!

In this video I combine with another new MIDI FX called 'Note 2 CC' Which can transform MIDI note messages and convert it to a value for a MIDI Controller (like filters or volume, .. ). It's a 'midi-event-converter' which is also used on the RK002/MOD firmware. An example is to add extra expression to various synths which do not have velocity response by default but you can also use it to for example play a volume gate pattern solely with notes.

There are nice effects on their own but can be combined to create something completely new - and - hopefully inspiring."

Lofi Ambient w/ YAMAHA CS01, MU15, KORG NTS-1 | Modal Tides 2025-01-16 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the YAMAHA CS01, MU15, and KORG NTS-1.

On the MU15, I play modal harmonies that are processed with reverb and filters using NIGHTSKY. I apply modulation to the pitch to create a wavering effect in the notes.

The NTS-1 plays monophonic phrases that are routed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MKII. I perform while applying its built-in reverb and manipulating the filter.

The sequences for both the MU15 and NTS-1 are controlled from a DAW.

The CS01 produces sounds with a slow attack, which I process through LOSSY and the DD-6 to achieve a lo-fi quality and adjust the tone for a prolonged release."

Vintage Soul in a Modern Body // GS Music E7

https://www.gsmusic.com/

"Drawing inspiration from the classics the GS Music E7 takes a 'best of' approach to bring us a modern VCO with a totally vintage vibe. It doesn't replicate any synth in particular, (it's got 7 voices for a start!) but you'll be familiar with all the functions and can recreate pretty much any classic tone. Talking of tones, it's got a wonderful sound quality that pulls you in and charms your socks off.

But it doesn't stop in the 80s.. we have MPE mode, it's 4-part multitimbral, with MIDI CC control, 600 preset slots, USB and full sized MIDI IN OUT & THRU

It also vas CV control for more sonic explorations - something I've not delved into yet."

Heritage Audio Introduces SYNTH BUDDY - World’s First Desktop 10 to 1 Reversible Passive Stereo Switch

video upload by Heritage Audio

Press release follows:


Heritage Audio announces availability of SYNTH BUDDY as world’s first desktop 10 to 1 reversible and fully passive stereo switch

MADRID, SPAIN: European pro audio manufacturer Heritage Audio is proud to announce availability of SYNTH BUDDY — billed as being the world’s first desktop 10 to 1 reversible and fully passive stereo switch as a cost-effective, essential studio solution for seamlessly connecting up to 10 stereo (or 20 mono) line level sources, such as synths, drum machines, or samplers, and toggling between them with the twist of a knob — as of January 15, 2025…

It is fair to say that anyone who has ever dreamed about an inexpensive solution to help have multiple synths, drum machines, samplers, and other line level instruments connected and available with the twist of a knob can wake up and smell the coffee, courtesy of Heritage Audio’s SYNTH BUDDY. Indeed, its top panel-positioned 10 x1 STEREO PASSIVE SELECTOR wording gives the game away as it is possible to seamlessly connect 10 stereo (or 20 mono) line level sources to its 10 stereo/20 mono TS jack inputs and toggle between them with the twist of a knob (outputting via one stereo/two mono TS jacks) — simple as that! Talk about a dream becoming reality. And an all-passive design ensures crystal-clear line level signals with no added colouration — straight from the user’s musical mind to the song with no power source needed.

Needless to say, when creativity hits, there is no time for plugging in cables and switching gear. After all, many have experienced the creativity-killing scenario of having a great musical idea seemingly arrive out of nowhere, only for it to disappear by the time everything is set up and ready to record; no such worries when working with SYNTH BUDDY, of course, since everything is connected and available at the twist of a knob.

It is even possible to use SYNTH BUDDY ‘backwards’ by turning it into a one-input/10-output selector, so users can, for example, easily run one guitar or bass into several amps or effects — applications are (almost) endless! Either way, SYNTH BUDDY is built like a tank with an elegant desktop design — measuring merely 190mm (W) x 105mm (D) x 80mm (H) while weighing in at only 988g — that lends itself to studio or stage usage... and all without breaking the bank!

SYNTH BUDDY is shipping and available via Heritage Audio’s growing global network of dealers (https://heritageaudio.com/where-to-buy-international/) with an SSP (Standalone Selling Price) of €199.00 EUR (including VAT) in the EU and a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of $199.00 USD, US distribution being handled via RAD Distribution (https://raddist.com/en/brands/heritage-audio).
