Oxygene part IV

"My take on on Jarre' s seminal Oxygene part IV using just a Nord Wave, Novation Supernova II and Stereo Small Stone Phaser.

It could have been better, there's too much bass, no mini pops and it sounds a bit thin. I'll remake this when I get my Andromeda A6 with a bit of analog warmth and mixer a with more than 5 inputs :)"

"Here's an article/review of the TG300

Voices
Voices consist of one or two sound elements, and extensive editing with independent envelope and scaling control for pitch, filter, and level allows for original sound creation.

Multi Modes
For MIDI sequencing, Multi modes with 16-part multitimbrality and 32-note polyphony allow you to play 16 different instruments simultaneously. Parts and voices are fully editable and parameters include: filter cutoff and resonance, level envelope generator, portamento, MIDI Control Change assign, and MIDI Bank Select support.

Single Mode
Single Mode is especially designed for live performance, having 128 editable internal voices with assignable effects, ideal for use with MIDI keyboards and synthesizers. Note and velocity range parameters allow for split, layer, and velocity crossover type voices.

Effects
A Yamaha custom DSP (Digital Signal Processor) provides professional quality reverb, chorus, and variation effects simultaneously. A whole host of effect algorithms, including reverb, chorus, flanger, EQ, rotary speaker, and Aural Exciter* to name just a few, makes it possible to add spaciousness, stereo depth, and sparkle to your sounds. (*Aural Exciter is a registered trademark and is manufactured under license from Aphex Systems, Ltd.)

MIDI
General MIDI compatibility allows playback of third-party MIDI songs and song data exchange with other musicians. As well as standard MIDI jacks, a built-in MIDI interface allows direct connection to Mac and PC-compatible computers, eliminating the hassles of external MIDI boxes and interface cards.

Hollow Sun Novachord Sample Set Update

New image and update from the Hollow Sun blog:

"Nice, quiet Christmas here - just us with no invasion of in-laws, parents and relatives with all the stress that creates .... bliss!

Gave me some time to do more work on the Novachord - I've edited, looped and optimised a whole pile of new samples, many of them quintessentially 'Novachord' in nature ... and Dan's been busy too, not least of which giving it a good polish so that we have a new picture of 'the beast'... "

"This is a little jam with my beloved APC40 and also my entry for the APC40 European Video Contest. I thought i contribute one jam, where the APC40 is played like a real instrument. The APC is controlling Ableton Live 8 and one of the Max4Live step-sequencers, which is triggering the drumrack. On track 2 there is a sequence running u-he´s Ace.

Cheers"
