TAL-U-NO-LX - Roland Juno-60 Emulator

"TAL-U-NO-LX is a complete rewritten emulation of the popular hardware with a new engine and GUI. Up to date zero feedback delay filters and carefully calibrated controls make this synth a good replacement for the analog device with all the advantages software plugins have. As an addition, the TAL_U-NO-LX also supports portamento and different filter LFO waveforms and some more useful features. An arpeggiator with different sync modes and hold function is also included. A very fast envelope with a smooth roll-off, emulated inaccuracy and a very smooth filter sound gives this synth the typical sound. The synth was calibrated after a hardware device that's property of TAL."


"Compares the HW Juno 60 with the Software "emulation" with some default Factory A presets. The Juno 60 always plays first. This gives an idea how the emulation sounds. It should be possible to get better results with some more preset fine tuning."


"Hereby we proudly present our demo track for the upcoming, and marvelous U-NO-LX VSTi from TAL. Since we're betatesting this plugin we thought it would be nice to make a nice demo for TAL to show what this, really good emulation of the Roland Juno-60, is capable of.

For this track we used only 20 instances of the beta version of this plugin and the Precision Limiter from UAD on the mainbus to make the track a little bit louder. So no EQ, Compressors, Reverb and Delay or other plugins. In other words this is what the plugin is capable of and your listening to the RAW sound of this beauty!"

Exploring the Crumar Nerve Centre 15


Published on Feb 18, 2013 organfairy·363 videos

"Crumar Nerve Centre 15 is an analogue drum machine that was build into a number of Crumar's organs from the mid 1970's. I took this particular specimen out of an old defective organ some years ago (and made a video of it) and now the time has come to find out how it works so that I can use it for something.

One very special thing with this drum machine is that there is a separate row of selector switches for the auto-accompaniment so that you can pick and chose independantly - in other words it is possible to combine for instance the samba rhythm with waltz bass and arpeggio (not that it would sound very good but it is possible). I wonder why so few organ companies came up with that idea. It makes the auto-band much more flexible and it only costs an extra row of switches.

The music in something I made on Yamaha HE-8 and Technics SX-C600 organs, Roland SH-2000 synthesizer and TR-66 Rhythm Arranger drum machine, and the little Casio CZ-101 phase distortion synthesizer."

"Music Ipad app Novation Launchkey is a hands on synthesizer with 60 preset sounds that can be controlled in real time. Control Amp and Modulation envelopes from the 8 hardware faders and start, stop and latch controls for the arpeggiator. Change the sound easily with the interactive display. CoreMIDI Network input. On the whole the sounds are great though the graphical interface isn't as great as it could be. Groups of assigned parameters could be made easier to manipulate and the ability to create user groups or delete groups. Nice start to a potential great app. Get it free from the itunes store. Not compatible with Iphone or Ipod Touch."

Metasonix S-2000 Demo 3

Published on Feb 17, 2013 7numan7·72 videos

"This is the Metasonix S-2000 tube-synthesizer being controlled by a MakeNoise Rene modular sequencer. It's pretty much just a simple bass note sequence, where the S-2000's ribbon is gating the Rene's Y-clock input as well (the X-clock is being gated by a cycling Maths module's EOR pulse output), so that I can control when the "verse" or "part" changes. You can hear me tweaking various controls on the S-2000 to add harmonics and modulation that add some harmony and rhythm to the sequence.

Enjoy!"

Launchpad Step Sequencer Lauflicht 3 - Full Details


This is a follow-up to the video posted here.

"An upgrade of the step sequencer "Lauflicht" for the Novation Launchpad to the version 3 has been released. The plugin for Renoise is a moving light, multitrack and multitimbral step sequencer with 8, 16 or 32 steps, turning your Launchpad(s) into a hardware step sequencer. It was especially designed for editing beats, melodies and patterns without the mouse in order to allow an intuitive workflow in the studio or an excellent possibility to perform live.

The version 3 has two new core features: multiple Launchpads support and a new pattern load and mix mode in real time.

If more than one Launchpad is connected to the computer, the plugin will detect all Launchpads automatically and cascade them to one big hardware step sequencer. Two Launchpads will result into a hardware 16 step sequencer and four Launchpads will result into a hardware 32 step sequencer. With the different note resolution modes and unlimited tracks this setup leads to a huge level of granularity and in-depth step sequencing.

The pattern load mode enhances the variety of sequencing in live situations. While the current pattern plays, it is possible to switch between up to 16 different patterns instantly by pressing an appropriate button on the Launchpad. This makes it easy to arrange and build up a new song sequentially. To mix between patterns, or to create a seamless transition or a surprising break in your performance also a split pattern can be selected, which contains the half of the available tracks, and loaded into the currently playing pattern. In the studio or on the stage - it is really fun to switch between the patterns.

Besides these two new features, a lot of other improvements found their way into version 3. For example, presets for the control matrix can be stored to modulate up to eight different parameters of every single step of each track, like Filter-Cutoff, Delay, note value or any other controllable midi or vsti parameter.

Features:
- 8, 16 or 32 steps
- multiple Launchpads support: automatic detection of up to four Launchpads
- unlimited tracks, unlimited patterns
- set up for each track a sample, sample bank, a vst instrument or a Midi instrument of your choice
- chord mode: insert up to 3 notes in one track
- variable note resolution: 3 modes switchable (for example edit 1/2, 1/4 or 1/16 notes)
- quick clear: delete all steps of a track at once
- complete bidrectional Launchpad integration: all changes made with the Launchpad are visible in the software plugin at once and vice versa
- autoload: new patterns are loaded into the plugin/Launchpad display automatically on pattern change
- all parameters are editable during play in the plugin in real time
- keyboard mode: create melodies with a virtual keyboard in an intuitive and easy way
- powerful controller matrix: assign up to eight parameters to every single step, like filter cutoff, delay, velocity or any other controllable parameter and change them in real-time. Also the note values of the steps can be controlled.
- pattern load mode: switch between up to sixteen stored patterns in real time or even mix the tracks of two different patterns.
- easy installation of the plugin, all available Launchpads are detected automatically.

The Lauflicht Launchpad Step Sequencer 3 Plugin costs 24 Euro and is available on http://www.stepsequencer.net. It runs on runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, and there is also a new free demo version for the Launchpad available.
Requirements:
- Novation Launchpad(s)
- The DAW Renoise (free or full version) http://www.renoise.com
- Lauflicht Step Sequencer Launchpad Edition"
