Nice design and they are looking for a name.

"We have made a couple of prototype controllers intended for use with Ableton Live or similar software. Neither unit has a final name at the moment and are temporarily being called AB Mini and AB DJ. If you have suggestions for better names or for improvements to the designs, please let us know."

Ionic Performer - New Shots

Remember the Ionic Performer Synthi AKS clone? Click here for some shots posted by Paul Sop. BTW, he is looking for someone to repair it. If you know of anyone that can tackle something like this feel free to comment.

Also, turns out Paul Sop is none other than Doktor Future! : )

"Hi Matrix. Ionic Performer is Mine. (Doktorfuture = Paul Sop). BTW. Title takes you somewhere else. Pictures are: here

It is a really great synth. Just like an EMS. I'm gonna mod it up to the hilt with lots of madness. Probably change its effect section to be a few pedals.

Check the Ionic Performer page by: Dennis Bathory-Kitsz. It has MP3's.

SMS Synthesizers

Update via Chris Muir on AH:

"Actually the SMS polyphonic thing was closer to the original E-Mu Audity (not the Proteus in Audity clothing that EMu sold recently).

The SMS programmable polyphonic never saw the light of day, although it had a bunch of good ideas in it. The only thing that sort of spun off of that project was the SMS Voice 400.

I put scans of some of the SMS data sheets here."

Strap-on or Keytar?

Nice. I'm not sure which term is more questionable in reference to shoulder strapped synths, keytar or strap-on. Hmm... Why do images of the Akai EWI come to mind? Suit and Tie Guy, damn you! So, wouldn't a strap-on be around your waist? Now there's an idea! A synth belt! No EWI jock staps please.

SMS 2000 - New Flickr Shots

Update: Be sure to read the updates below and do not miss the links. Looks like we finally have a contendor to the Bahn Sage. Elhardt, you have some competiton. Is it or isn't the SMS 2000 real?

flickr set by synthfanKH.

Looks like we are on a "dream synth" roll this week.

Update: Click images for much larger shots.
Update: Looks like these shots got traction on AH. Word is that it's a fake which I guessed as well. Via Mike Fiction on AH: "As a photographer I can tell you the second photo is 100% a fake. The depth of field is way too great. It's an indoor shot, light would have been low so even with a fast iso it would have been impossible to get such great depth of field with a fast enough shutter speed to have frozen things like the womans hair. There would have been motion blur. The A in alesis is just as in focus as the black pole at the far side of the tent."

Update: Some still think it could be real. If you blow up the second shot you will see the name tag reads, Mr. Kirikax (click for more info).

Via Nick on AH:
"I'm still of the opinion that it's some new prototype synth by Seekers, the Japanese company (formerly Sky Soundlab) who made the Voice Spectra vocoder (seen on the left in the photo with mics attached). They were trying to build a full featured and pricey monosynth about 6 years ago.

Redmatica and Jupiter 8 Samples

Scott Metzger sent me some Jupiter 8 samples and a plug for Redmatica, a software sampler for OSX. Title link takes you to the Redmatica site. Sample links follow:

"So I finally found a great solution for sampling my Vintage gear. To bring on the road. I tried the demo of AutoSample from Redmatica, and then bought the program. It did a great job of sampling my Jupiter 8, and it creates a Logic EXS file to load into Logic. Download the Patches if you want that I sampled. They are 24bit 96k.

These are the first 2 patches on my Jupiter 8. They are both in Unison Mode"

Analog Box 2

"Analog Box is a low level, circuit based, modular software synthesizer. You put sound objects on the screen, connect them together, listen and adjust. When you find something you like, you can record it to a wav file, or just save the circuit and play it again later.

ABox is somewhat like the vintage synth's of the '70's in that there are separate modules with lots of patch cords, knobs, buttons and displays. But you also get the computational ability offered by modern CPU's. Features like FFTs, Differentials and Digital Control open up realms of sound design never dreamt of before. With the advanced capabilities offered by VSTi, USB/HID, MIDI and DirectShow you could conceivably play your favorite video soundtrack through a plugin adusted by a glove controller."
