Access Virus TI 3 Keyboard

via Nova Musik
"New from Access!!! The new TI 3 Keyboard. The new Access TI 3 is now compatible with both Mac and PC. It can be used with VST, AU and RTAS. 104 non-velocity sensitive keys can be used and programmed to macros for any soft synth or recording program. They can even be used to type up those reports that are due at your job tomorrow. Shouldn't you be doing those now instead of looking at this? These are finely crafted in China by the 1,000's by machines. Never mind the Dell sign. It is there for cosmetic purposes. We liked it ok."
Early NAMM report?

Update: Mr. Array (Soviet Space Child) spotted the following on infekted.org:

"hey guys,

as you might have seen, we have a great special in the Access Music Store this weekend: 20% discount on everything, including Virus TI synths, soft bags and other accessories.
now the reason why i bring this up on the forum is a comment posted to our facebook page. we were ask if we are clearing stock and make room for a new Virus TI which we will announce on NAMM in january. the answer is: no. the virus TI line will not be discontinued, in fact there will be software feature updates in the future - details i cannot disclose at the time being but we will do everything to make you smile

have a great weekend.

Creating a Jd 800 style lead with the Fantom G

Fantom G interface video.
"I decided to make a short instructional video on making a lead like that from the Roland JD800 with the Fantom G.

I know I rushed through it, my playing is shite, and I know I made a lot of mistakes in my speech. My presentational skills are awful and I get really stuttery and confused when i'm on camera, so deal with it. The only way to improve is to keep trying! So anyone who just wants to tell me I suck, I know."

Jumpstart Collection on Xiosynth Novation, lead synth ( by Carlo Castellano space4keys )

YouTube via Space4Keys | December 06, 2010 |

"This is a collection of patches programmed over three years of live gigs and studio sessions. There are three self-explained categories: Leads, Keys, Synth and Basses. Many patches where programmed with live needs such as differents volume levels, EQ and the most important thing every player should do: tweaking controls. The patches sound way better using the modulation and the XY pad of the Xio, the synthesizer becomes alive rather than, as sadly often happens, something static and cold.

Patchwork - Flash Based Modular Synth

"Patchwork is a Flash application for realtime modular sound synthesis. You can connect basic sound generation or modification modules to create either music, effects or utter noisy crap. Although at the moment it has an interface for creating a so-called patch, you will in the future be able to run your creations standalone, which means: in your own site or game."

1981 Soviet Consumer Electronics Catalog

This one spotted by Eric Barbour of METASONIX

"Including an 'Elektronika 003' keyboard, 'Elektronika RITM' drumbox, and two 'Spektr' effect pedals. The videotape recorders were mostly B&W only, and 15 years behind the Japanese VCRs of 1981 in technology.

And it didn't matter anyway---even though these prices were very low, the average Russian could not afford 95% of the contents of this catalog. A small portable TV was 160 roubles, at a time when the average factory worker made 140 roubles/month and a retired pensioner made maybe 60 roubles/month."

Modular Beat Making on The B-Roll

"I set the rotating clock divider as the heart of the rhythm. As I recorded my beat I tried to switch up small variations such as muting a single drum or adjusting the decay of the snare. When I felt I recorded all of the variations I would switch patch cables on either the rotating clock divider or the envelope generators creating new beats."
