Yamaha Announces Chick Corea Mark V Sound Set for MONTAGE

"Chick Corea Mark V Sample & Performance Library for MONTAGE Now Available as Free Download

BUENA PARK, Calif. (May 24, 2017) — Today, Yamaha announced the Chick Corea Mark V Sample & Performance Library for MONTAGE. This library features 16 all-new Performances, each programmed using data meticulously sampled from Chick Corea’s customized Mark V electric piano. This library is available as a free download from yamahamusicsoft.com for users of the company’s MONTAGE synthesizer.
​In 1984, renowned pianist Chick Corea worked with Harold Rhodes in the creation of the Stage 73 Mark V electric piano. Over the next ten years, Corea and his team developed what they called the Number One – replacing hammers, developing custom electronics and creating an instrument that reflected the singular talent and innovation of its owner.
​In 2009, after enduring years of pounding from one of modern music’s most innovative composers and performers, the keyboard became too fragile to take on the
road. Before being shipped into storage, however, Corea and his tech team painstakingly sampled every note at Mad Hatter Studios in Los Angeles. After months of searching for the right technology platform, Corea took the massive amount of data to industry-leading sound designers, who developed Chick’s Mark V Sample Library for the Yamaha MOTIF XF, the predecessor to the MONTAGE.
​“MONTAGE users can now incorporate a piece of musical history into their own synthesizers at no cost,” said Nate Tschetter, product marketing manager, Music Production, Yamaha Corporation of America. “These custom Performances let you experience Chick’s unique Mark V coupled with the expressiveness of MONTAGE.”
​Corea’s direct involvement in the process makes this sampling session unique. A specially developed vorsetzer player-piano mechanism helped capture pristinely balanced velocities across the entire keyboard scale. The library contains all the original samples recorded in the meticulously engineered sampling sessions, and consists of 12 unlooped velocity layers and note offs. The full, natural sustain of each note is carefully maintained.
​Part of what makes this collection unique is the custom hammer and pre-amp
configuration of Chick’s original electronic piano instrument. At F# above Middle C, Corea and his team modified the hammers from the standard neoprene to wood, and sent the signal from those keys to a separate pre-amp with a specially designed EQ. This creates an almost split keyboard effect letting the treble notes ring with a clarity and punch unavailable on a standard Mark V. Chick’s Mark V loads directly into the MONTAGE integrated flash memory.

Pricing and Availability
The Chick Corea Mark V Sample & Performance Library is currently available to all MONTAGE users as a free download. This library requires a Yamaha MONTAGE synthesizer running MONTAGE OS v1.51 or higher.

Company of Quail Eurorack Cases

via Company of Quail:

"New frames for euro are finally done and ready to ship. the rails are extruded aluminum and include sliding square nuts that are for m3 screws. the sides are held on by m6 low head socket bolts. this system was designed to be modular. you can hook the two 3u parts together for a 6u system and there will eventually be a third taller part to expand to 9u. there has also been some extra holes left for customization as well as potential accessories(rubber feet, bars to add mass and stability) and a power supply we are working on which can be mounted to the inside of the taller frame. for now i suggest using the 4ms power(row 30 or 40)."

They also make cases for Elektron gear. You can see one featured in a video back in 2011 here.

Gofundme for TheSynthFreq

Many of you will be familiar with TheSynthFreq from previous posts here on MATRIXSYNTH. MATRIXSYNTH reader midierror wrote in to let us know she has a Gofundme page up for anyone that would like to help her out.

From the Gofundme:

"Most of us in the synthesizer world have at one point or another come across Danielle Morales AKA TheSynthFreq's Youtube channel. It's full of the quirky demos, tips, and music of a woman that obviously loves her synths. What may not be as obvious because she doesn't make it clear in her videos is that she has some fairly serious, life long medical issues. Danielle is deaf-blind, and has been in and out of the hospital many times over the last few years, suffering through strokes that have left her partially paralyzed. Her Facebook feed is a story of endless struggle, yet I have never seen her ask for help or fish for sympathy, she takes it all in stride as best as she can. It is simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring to watch.

Last night she made a post on Facebook asking for advice on how to sell her gear, because during her most recent ICU stay she needed an emergency intubation... and during that process nearly all of her front teeth, top and bottom, were knocked out, and her insurance is refusing to cover the cost of dental prosthetics. She has described to me the way she looks now with no front teeth as "shocking". This is unacceptable. She absolutely should not have to trade her music for the ability to leave her house without appearing "shocking". I contacted her after seeing her for sale post to ask if she was comfortable with a fundraiser, and she is, so I ask you- my fellow synth nerds across the planet- if you have even a dollar to spare to help this ridiculously strong woman get some sense of normalcy back to her life without losing her music in the process, please help her out. 100% of whatever is collected will go straight to Danielle, I have assigned all financial control of this account to her. Also, if anyone reading this is a dentist/owns a dental lab/ has any relevant connections in the Austin, TX area and would be willing to donate professional services, please feel free to contact us."

TIPTOP ONE: Selecting files with CV

TIPTOP ONE: Selecting files with CV from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"Testing the new (1.4b) firmware for the Tiptop ONE that adds adjustable CV/Trigger delay.

Some sequencers will not output CVs and Gates/Triggers at precisely the same time forcing the super fast and precise ONE to play sample that was selected by CV on the previous step. The available Short / Medium / Long delay times can be select with Config file.

In this video: Triggering ONE loaded with DOTS with Verbos Multistage and later with ER-101. Sometimes manually offsetting the playing group of files to play other files with the same sequence. In both cases using Medium delay setting. Both sequencers were not playing nicely with ONE before, but as you can see its super stable and reliable now."

Native Instruments Releases Free REAKTOR Blocks 1.3 Update

via Native Instruments:

"Major update of Native Instruments’ Eurorack-inspired modular system adds a new family of modules and synthesizer patches

June 8, 2017, Berlin – Native Instruments today released REAKTOR Blocks 1.3, a substantial update to this acclaimed virtual modular system, provided with REAKTOR 6.

Free for existing users, Blocks 1.3 introduces a new Blocks family: Kodiak. These five modules are not modelled on specific hardware. Instead, Kodiak modules combine analog character with digital power.

Duality OSC is a dual oscillator that adds innovative wave-shaping to Blocks. It offers phase-, frequency-, amplitude-, and timbre-modulation, and is ideal for growling basses, vibrant leads, and rich percussion.

Shift Sequencer is an unconventional step sequencer. It has independent sequence-length and direction controls for pitch, octave, velocity, hold, and gate, making polyrhythmic sequencing easy.

Curve Sequencer takes a modern classic – MASSIVE’s stepped modulation sequencer – and places it in the Blocks rack. It enables complex stepped modulation, perfect for electronic music.

Morph Filter delivers a triple-resonant filter bank designed to morph between settings for vowel sounds, chords, or percussion.

Flip Gen is a versatile tone generator and experimental noise source. It is perfect for generating bleepy sequences, bell-like FM, morse, pitched noise, crackly textures, and for use as a creatively random modulator.

Blocks 1.3 also includes five new ensembles – each one a powerful new synthesizer in its own right. They showcase the five new modules, with over 195 new presets, covering everything from self-generating polyrhythmic techno grooves to Daft Punk-style vowel-filtered leads.

Blocks 1.3 is part of REAKTOR 6. REAKTOR 6 is available for purchase now at the NI Online Shop for $199 / 199 € / ¥ 24,800 / £169 / AU$279.

Existing REAKTOR 6, KOMPLETE 11, and KOMPLETE 11 ULTIMATE owners can download and install the update using Native Access."

"call out it's name
her black heart will bleed for longer
gasp your last breath
open dead eyes
he left the needle inside
a grave blade
under pill haze
this world is cold as bone

a bag of rocks a bash to the face
a trusted void is my soft space
I'd take a lip I'd take your eye we all die
forty night bathed in decay den
suicides come bed ridden
it rotted thru it rotted fine
we all die

it's crime not fresh
his beating a bore tighten that rope some more
a grave blade
under pill haze
this world is cold as bone

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The entire unit has recently been gone over and and it works great. The wood trim pieces have been refinished so they look as good as new.

Included with this:
- Original owner's manual (along with 5 copied programming sheets I copied from the manual)
- Module-to-pedal cord
- 2 power adapters
- Chrome mic stand bar
- 3 program template overlays
- Soft case for the module.

The Taurus II is a 1.5 octave pedal synthesizer with detachable electronics, full modulation, performance controls and total interface capability. Moog produced these for only two years (1981-1983) It’s a bass pedal synthesizer with essentially the same synth engine as the Rogue. It has saw tooth or square waveforms, which go low and their bass sounds are great.

The synthesizer features controls for modulation, oscillation, contour, filter, mixer and master volume. Controls for pitch, mod, tune and glide are on the far left side. There are several internal trimpots with access on the back of the unit. See photos for input/output jacks.

The floor controller includes a total of 18 pedals and input for the main synthesizer unit on the back."

Lady Starlight's journey has been anything but ordinary. Formerly a tour DJ for Lady Gaga, Starlight found herself meeting UK techno veteran Surgeon after a show in his hometown of Birmingham and the pair have been collaborating ever since, regularly appearing at clubs and festivals across Europe.

Last month, she released her debut solo EP on respected techno label Stroboscopic Artefacts. Spanning four tracks of relentless 4/4, it got us eager to see what kind of music the producer could make with just 10 minutes in the studio and her formidable collection of gear."
