"RICORDA è il nuovo pedale AC Noises

Capitoli:
00:00 intro
00:39 looper
02:09 freeze
03:08 reverb e resonator
04:29 granulator
05:51 secondary mode
08:13 jam

Sviluppato su un DSP incredibilmente potente, (che spesso viene utilizzato nell'industria dei sintetizzatori eurorack), RICORDA mette a disposizione una moltitudine di parametri per scolpire e modellare il suono.

Ricorda è un effetto stereo che comprende di un riverbero, looper, granulizzatore, freeze, pitch shifter, il tutto modulabile in una modalità secondaria che permette di modificare gli effetti in modo da avere una palette sonora infinita.

Questo pedale sicuramente va a collocarsi nella fascia dove risiedono pedali come l'Hologram Microcosm e il Red Panda Particle.
Un grande punto in più del pedale è sicuramente il suono molto pulito e la posssibilità di allargare l'immagine stereo.
Lo consiglio sicuramente a chi si è un po' stufato dei soliti nomi e per chi vuole sperimentare un po' con questa tipologia di effetti"

Ik Multimedia: Uno Synth Pro X - Unboxing e audio demo!

Google translated:

"IK MULTIMEDIA Italia has decided to entrust me with the first unboxing in Italy of the new Uno Synth Pro X. What an honour! Obviously, I did things a bit my way and forgive me if you find some mistakes in the shots and in some sounds but I had very few days to prepare this video. In the end I enjoyed it so much that in addition to the unboxing you will also see him play.

A Synth Pro X is a 3-oscillator monophonic/paraphonic analog synthesizer (thus with 3-voice paraphony) with a versatile design and a wide range of functions.
It features two state-variable filters, 10-mode arpeggiator, a 64-step sequencer, 12 studio-grade effects, and much (much) more.
Here are some of the main features of the Uno Synth Pro X:
3 analog oscillators
2 state variable filters in series or parallel (OTA LP/HP multimode and LP 12/24 db/oct auto) 10-mode arpeggiator
Elektron-style 64-step sequencer with random mode
12 studio effects (modulations/delays/various reverbs)
Stereo sound output
Mono audio input
2 programmable and automatable CV GATE inputs
MIDI port
USB port
256 presets
Power supply via USB or power adapter
Editors!
The sound is undoubtedly modern, in my opinion in step with most of today's sonorities. Sometimes it's hard to even keep it at bay especially when using the drive.
The effects are really beautiful and are probably the non plus ultra of the machine, in particular the reverbs, which I liked a lot. The "Bassline" key is brilliant, which literally modifies some parameters of the synthesizer giving some "limitations" that go a bit to remember the characteristics of the 303, such as the cutoff which will be limited up to 5K hertz!"

Synth Cafè presenta: Grp Synthesizer A1 con Enrico Cosimi

video upload by Synth Cafè

First demo of the new GRP A1 Mini Desktop Synth posted here. Front panel and system diagram pics below.

"Per la prima volta in assoluto, Grp Synhesizer presenta Grp A1

Il sintetizzatore monofonico Grp A1 può essere utilizzato come uno strumento indipendente oppure si possono filtrare segnali esterni attraverso il circuito risonante Low Pass 18dB VCF.
La presenza di tre segnali interni (VCO, SUB e NOISE) garantisce potenza timbrica e facilità d'uso. Con i due oscillatori a bassa frequenza - LFO (il primo integra un Sample & Hold S&H) e il generatore di inviluppo ADSR, è possibile avere comportamenti di modulazione ciclici o transitori.
Lo strumento può essere alimentato tramite un cavo USB di tipo C collegato a qualsiasi alimentatore USB da 2,5A. A1 può anche essere estratto dal suo cabinet per essere facilmente installato in qualsiasi sistema modulare Eurorack alimentandolo utilizzando i normali cavi piatti forniti con i sistemi Eurorack

The Grp A1 monophonic synthesizer can be used as a standalone instrument or external signals can be filtered through the Low Pass 18dB VCF resonant circuit.
The presence of three internal signals (VCO, SUB and NOISE) guarantees tonal power and ease of use. With the two low-frequency oscillators - LFO (the first integrates a Sample & Hold S&H) and the ADSR envelope generator, it is possible to have cyclical or transient modulation behaviors.
The instrument can be powered via a USB Type-C cable connected to any 2.5A USB power supply. A1 can also be extracted from its cabinet to be easily installed in any Eurorack modular system by powering it using the normal flat cables supplied with Eurorack systems

And the official press release:

"Torino, February 2017

SYNTH MEETING present SOUNDMIT (International Sound Summit)

We are pleased to finally announce the developments of the S YNTHMEETING o f Torino during the last months.
The SYNTHMEETING , which began in 2011 from an idea of F rancesco Mulassano a nd ran till 2016 together with Luca Torasso, will be part of a newest and bigger event.

After the success of the sixth edition which brought over 2 500 visitors and 60 international brands to Torino, we have decided to take a step forward.

In 2016 we set up the Associazione Culturale NOISECOLLECTIVE with the founding members being Francesco Mulassano, Luca Torasso and Luca Minelli ( www.noisecollective.net ) then we enlarged the network with some acquisitions. Are part of NOISECOLLECTIVE :

- SYNTHMEETING , the only event dedicated to the world of synthesizers and electronic musical instruments capable of involving over 2500 people and 60 international brands (data from 2016)
- The Facebook group SYNTH CAFÈ, with more than 14,000 members is a reference point in the field of synthesis and electronic music in Italy, created by L uca Minelli in 2011.
- The music portal ULTRASONICA h as been an online reference point since 2004 for music news and live event photos with an exclusive photographic archive which hosts over 12,000 photos.

- The Facebook group STRUMENTI MUSICALI USATI with 5400 members is among the largest and most active italian groups for buying and selling musical instruments on Facebook.

These acquisitions have immediately incremented the network guaranteeing a group of nearly 22,000 members.
After the closing of the sixth edition of the meeting we immediately started working on creating a new event which inherits the know-how gained through the experience of the SYNTHMEETING and the other events which followed in these months (MOD01, OpenDay, The Golden Synth Era with Felice Manzo, Arduino and Synth with Pier Calderan, Modular Synth Masterclass con Gino Robair).

Modular Synth Masterclass with Gino Robair - 11 January 2017 - Torino Italy

Published on Dec 14, 2016 NOISECOLLECTIVE

"The workshop will examine a number of techniques to use when improvising with modular synthesizers within a large group and it lays the groundwork for a concert the same evening, with the workshop participants.

The workshop will focus on global awareness and listening during an improvisation, while exploring patching strategies for achieving maximum variety and avoiding stagnation. We will also discuss concepts such as foreground/background, solo/support, gestural control, and intention/non-intention.

This would be particularly interesting for modular synth users because the temptation with the instrument is to simply layer sounds. Actively patching, and utilizing concepts such as disruption vs. support can be very helpful for sparking ideas about new ways to approach electronics in an group-improv situation.

Gino uses strategies, concepts, and hand cues (conduction) based on his own work, as well as the work of John Zorn, Butch Morris, ROVA Sax Quartet, Anthony Braxton and Frank Zappa.

The workshop will be held at Mothership Club in Via Schiaparelli 16 - Torino
