It now has brand new features including wavetable synthesis, even more powerful filters, a software editor and a revolutionary new touch-sense performance mode. The 'Nova' family was born in 1998 with the Supernova, which was the first of a series of powerful synthesisers. These quickly became industry standard 'big-synths' which are still used by countless artists and sound designers. UltraNova is the latest addition to the family bringing the range right up to date with a host of new features and a more affordable price tag." http://us.novationmusic.com/us/products/hardware_synths/ultranova via Matjko

The Bit-52's The World's Greatest Parts Band playing The B-52's - Rock Lobster

YouTube via bd594 | September 07, 2010

From the man who brought us Bohemian Rhapsody and Funkytown.
"What do you get when you combine retro computer parts and an up and coming robot band?

The Bit-52's

This is dedicated to all fans of The B-52's who are also known as the "Worlds Greatest Party Band". It just so happens they currently on tour so go out and buy some tickets. This idea has been simmering in my mind for the last couple of years and after many months of procrastinating it is finally complete. I was also motivated to finish my robot band after seeing a YouTube Video from "The Trons" from New Zealand.

The Bit-52's consist of:

Fred's Vocals - TI99/4a computer, speech synthesizer and terminal emulator ii module
Kate and Cindy's Vocals - Two HP Scanjet 3C scanners, UBunto and sjetplay written by GanjaTron
The Guitar, Keyboard, Cow Bell, Cymbal and Tambourine are all controlled by various types of push/pull solenoinds for a total of 23. The Solenoids are powered by four ULN2803 darlington drivers and everything is controlled by two PIC16F84A microcontrollers."

Roland TR-505 - jas_justareview010

Roland TR-505 - jas_justareview010 from Kaare Bøje on Vimeo.

"Recently bought this little machine for an outdoor project (it runs on batteries).
It's plastic and very limited, but I like it and especially if you add some wah, distortion and delay. This video was made only to give you a glimpse of the Roland TR-505 in action and to give you some sort of impression on how it sounds. This is the pure sound of a Roland TR-505 (nothing added).

Live sequencing - Roland TR-505
Recorded using Lexicon Alpha
Camera1 - Canon IXY
Camera2 - Nokia E71

Bonus:
The distorted/delay drums are made live with the TR-505:

* Proven original Sync-Lock DAW external Tempo-Sync precision conversion engine.
* Phase Synchronous Midi Clock Outputs x 4.
* Phase Synchronous Din Sync Outputs x 4.
* TRS Analogue Arp Trigger Output with Reset.
* Brand new ICS Sync-Gen V2 Software included.

Our Sync-Gen V2 is a custom-designed and meticulously over-engineered audio sample and tempo-grid accurate external Sync and Transport Sequencer Software Plugin with rock solid support for all DAW Host Applications across all major Platforms.

AU/VST/RTAS/TDM

The Sync-Lock GT/Sync-Gen V2 Combination works with any existing multichannel soundcard and requires absolutely no modification to your existing hardware. It is a genuine Plug-and-Play system that lets you get 'out of the box' and allows you to concentrate on making, recording and enjoying music with external hardware again. Give your beautiful toys the external sync they really deserve.

Zero Sync Latency: The Sync-Lock generates phase-synchronous Din-Sync, Midi Clock and Analogue Pulse Triggers within 20 microseconds which in real terms means your external hardware and your DAW recorded audio line up perfectly in real-time every time. Your DAW audio and your external hardware playing together sounds like one machine not a jumbled mess.

Zero Sync Jitter: Unlike software generated Midi Clock which is notoriously prone to slop and jitter the Sync-Gen V2 software feeds sample accurate and tempo-grid locked pulses from your DAW to the Sync-Lock which in turn generates ultra-precise and phase-synchronous Midi Clock, Din Sync and Voltage Triggers to feed all your external hardware. They now sound they way they were designed to and tracking audio back into the DAW with zero sync jitter means the recorded audio lines up perfectly with your grid. No editing or re-quantizing of audio required!

Two Cables. One Box. Total Sync.

Filth/Dubstep Siren/Synth

YouTube via iowanchef | August 21, 2010

"Inspired by the classic Crackle Box (or "Kraakdoo") and Dub Siren circuits, these synths are based on a 4093 Quad NAND chip with metal foil tape creating the "keys." An interpretation of the example given in the book Handmade Electronic Music, I find the sounds created in this fashion match up quite well with some of the rougher, uglier dubstep varietals; filth, gore, etc."

Missing Link Wireless MIDI Device - Wireless MIDI for the iPad and iPhone

YouTube via minhternet | September 05, 2010

No wires. No PC. This is huge when you think about it. This will allow you to control your synths wirelessly and directly via your mobile device.

"This is the Missing Link.

It is a wireless device that receives OSC and outputs MIDI.

When I open my settings in my phone it shows up as a network that I can connect to.

When I go to my OSC app, and press a button, an OSC message will be sent wirelessly from my phone.

This message will get received by the Missing Link, which converts it to MIDI and sends it to the instrument.

I can now use my phone to play a keyboard or control my mixer or MIDI LED lights."

via ARMATRONIX:
"This is just a prototype, we have custom circuitry in the works. Right now, we have OSC > MIDI working, and we'll be adding the reverse MIDI > OSC functionality soon, as well as a USB MIDI connection in case you do want to use it with a computer."
