Native Instruments Introduces Crosstalk Modular

video upload by Native Instruments

"Crosstalk Modular combines modular samples with the unique layering and processing options of the Crosstalk engine. It was developed exclusively for NI by 10 Phantom Rooms who captured the sounds by wiring tons of modules from boutique gear builders. These samples were then transformed into an innovative instrument with features you won’t find anywhere else, like real-time morphing and creative sound pumping (aka crosstalking) for all four individual sound layers. Dive into a blend of vintage and modern processing powers and create sounds you’ve never heard before!

dreadbox Artemis Demo (No Talking) with Presets for Ambient, Electronica and Techno

video upload by Limbic Bits

"dreadbox Artemis – My 2 Cents
Artemis is a polyphonic analog synthesizer with six voices and a comprehensive effects section developed by Sinevibes. Housed in a solid desktop chassis, all potentiometers, faders, and buttons feel great, with just the right amount of resistance. On the rear, you'll find a stereo output, a separate headphone output, plus USB and MIDI connections. It doesn't offer a foot pedal input, but it supports MPE (I still need to try that with my Osmose).

Now to the most important part — the sound. It features that great vintage tone I love so much on other dreadbox devices, largely thanks to its creamy-sounding filters. Both filters offer resonance, and the low-pass filter can be switched between 12dB and 24dB slopes.

But it doesn't stop there: thanks to TZFM and filter FM (yes, noise can be a source here too), it can sound very modern as well, making it great for all sorts of electronic music. Although it offers quite a lot of modulation options, I still found myself wishing for features like key tracking for LFO rate, negative envelope amounts, noise as a modulation source in the menu, or meta-modulations. After reaching out to dreadbox about these features, they told me they are already working on them for a future update and/or will look into them. Based on my past experiences with dreadbox, I’m confident we can expect a nice firmware update for Artemis in the future.

The effects section by Sinevibes is also great — it’s just a shame that there are no external inputs like on the Typhon, as those would have made it a fantastic standalone effects unit as well. You get four effect slots (Lo-Fi/overdrive/shaper, modulation, delay, and reverb), each with several options to further tweak the sound. Here, I would love to see a bit more flexible routing, allowing changes to the effect order. But even without that, the effects section is a great addition that melts perfectly into the internal analog sound engine. I'd only recommend not adding too much, as the effects can quickly become dominant.

TL;DR: dreadbox Artemis is a sweet-spot synth that can also show its teeth when desired. Its intuitive interface and great-sounding effects unit make it an excellent companion for live performances. Definitely a highlight!"
