Transforming Roland JX-305 with Novation Summit Audio In | Ambient Jam


video upload by Paweł Spychała

"In this video, I’m creating a deep, massive ambient soundscape using the Roland JX-305 Groovesynth, the Novation Summit, and Bitwig Studio.

Signal Chain & Setup:

The Soundscape: The Roland JX-305 is routed directly into the Audio Inputs of the Novation Summit. I'm using the Summit's onboard effects engine to completely transform the JX-305 sound, pushing the reverb to its limits and cranking the delay feedback to maximum for an infinite, evolving drone.

The Lead: The main lead synth comes straight from the Novation Summit, cutting through the ambient wash."

SHIK S32: Standalone MIDI Processor & 32-Knob Macro Controller


video upload by SHIK



"The SHIK S32 is a standalone MIDI processor and 32-knob macro controller built to turn your setup into a flexible, playable system.

Control hardware synths, software instruments, DAWless setups, modular expansions, or hybrid rigs from one central device. With 32 high-resolution macro knobs, each knob can control up to four MIDI messages at once, or be assigned to parameters inside the S32 itself, including MIDI effects, devices, and LFOs.

At the heart of the S32 is a powerful MIDI processing engine with stackable racks. Build custom MIDI chains using tools like Arpeggiator, Scale Remap, Harmonizer, Turing Machine, Euclidean Sequencer, Polyphonic Envelope, Delay, Randomizer, Filters, Routers, Mergers, and more.

The built-in LFO engine adds movement to your setup, with 16 LFOs that can modulate MIDI messages, device parameters, effect parameters, and even other LFOs. This lets you turn static MIDI control into evolving, expressive performance control.

The S32 is designed for musicians who want deep MIDI control without breaking the flow. Build racks, map macros, route MIDI, add modulation, save setups, and control your gear directly from the hardware.

Pre-orders are now open.

video upload by Frap Tools

"Download firmware and instructions here: https://frap.tools/magnolia

There's a firmware update for your Magnolia! Here’s what it does:

• Adds 200 memory slots, bringing the total to 400.
• Adds full CC implementation (in and out) over every parameter.
• Adds MIDI over USB.
• Adds user-definable velocity and aftertouch curves with 11 degrees of hardness/softness.
• Adds the possibility for the user to define the LED brightness. It is possible to choose two factory presets (high or low brightness), or to define a custom user setting with independent controls over the red, white, orange LEDs and the display.
• Fixes a bug that prevented the keyboard to retain the parameter value after the Static Value display was used.
• Fixes a bug that played wrongly incoming MIDI notes."
