Musikmesse: More Info on the New Radikal Technologies Accelerator Keboard Synthesizer

Follow-up to this post. This one in via Mr. Array of Oceans Orbit, and posted by gurulogic on the Elektron-Users forum. (BTW, the Frankfurt Musikmesse is almost here. For those not familiar with it, think of it as NAMM in Europe. It is huge and runs from March 24 - 27. http://musikmesse.com/. You'll be able find all synth related news tied to the event via the Musikmesse label here. I also added the link to the top header links on the far right. If there's a synth it goes up.)

Don't miss the bit on the motion sensor/accelerator in red below. A synth that you are encouraged to hit? :)

On the New Radikal Technologies Accelerator:
"Accelerator is coming! During the last three months we spent all our time into a complete new product. We are proud to present our first keyboard synthesizer. The brand new "Accelerator" combines key features from the Spectralis Hybrid engine and combines them with new developed digital filters. The digital filters can be set to 12dB and 24dB and work in Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch configurations. The Accelerator sports two of these filters per voice and will have eight voice polyphony in the standard configuration but can be upgraded to even more voices with an additional DSP expansion board. Each voice has 3 oscillators with our very special time linearity modulation (TLM), Phase modulation, oscillator synchronisation and sweeping waveforms. The oscillators can be mixed independently into the two filters.
The keyboard has 61 weighted keys, aftertouch and of course velocity. The synthesizer has a built in step sequencer for notes and parameter automation. Two built in FX and an Arpeggiator are rounding up our package. And yes - it's a real Radikal. So it comes with some LFOs and envelopes more than other synths and to get most out of all the nice features the Accelerator has a modulation matrix. Also the modulation depths are Radikal as usual.

Beside all these key features we are very happy to announce, that our new baby comes with something very special - a motion sensor. The keyboard can control multiple parameters just by movements. If you lit the keyboard up on one side, you can control the oscillator pitch or the filter frequency as an example. It's a very cool feature for stunning live performances. If you are already interested into our new offering you should spend some time in a body building studio

The Accelerator also has external inputs that are fed into additional stereo filters. Just hook up your Spectralis to the keyboard and control the pattern selection with the masterkeyboard functions of the Accelerator.

The basic configuration of the Accelerator can create two different sounds at a time. The DSP expansion allows for Multimode with up to 8 independent parts and sounds.

At the Musikmesse we will present not just a dummy but a full working beast with a very warm and rhich sound. I am looking forward to see you there.

Visit us at hall 5.1, boothnumber C47. You may wonder about the booth number as it is the same like Moog. EMC, the german distribution for Radikal and Moog does a shared booth."

Note the Radikal Technologies website also has this teaser up:

Roland JSQ-60 DCB Sequencer for Juno-60 synth

via this auction

"Roland JSQ60 sequencer in very good condition. It has a built in DCB lead for connecting it to your Juno 6 / Juno 60 synth, or if you have a DCB Jupiter 8 (which I did at one point and used it for this) then that will work too. Very rare now. You will need a Boss PSA power supply to use this, although the cheap multi universal adaptors also work (9V)."

Minimoog Voyager Analog Synth Performer Edition V3.5

"This Voyager has newest V3.5 software installed and newest bank set of 128 sounds loaded. This is still the 128 preset hardware version (only 1 bank set can be loaded at once)."

Pictured: "Posc - a battery powered, pocket sized oscillator. It has two square wave oscillators, one of which is controlled by changes in the user's skin resistance over two metal contacts. The pitch of the second square wave oscillator is controlled by manipulating the amount of light received by the light dependent resistor. The Posc can be set to work in either stereo or mono output through a standard 1/4" audio jack, so is compatible with a wide range of audio equipment. It is ideal for use with guitar amplifiers and effects pedals, PA systems, and can even be plugged directly into your computer or Hi-Fi audio inputs."

and: "Posc Rack - This easy to use effects rack will transform the Posc's sound, with 3 different effects units in one. Aside from EQ, Delay and Modulation the rack will also record in various standard audio formats. Each unit can save multiple presets which can then be saved and exported as a file. Try it out, it's not just suitable for the Posc, it does great things with other instruments too."

There are samples on site.

Yamaha DX21 FM Synthesizer With Wood Panels

via this auction
"When I acquired this synth secondhand it was suffering from a broken plastic end cap, though otherwise the synth functioned properly, its internals were unaffected, and the metal case was structurally intact. With the help of a carpenter, I produced two Walnut end caps for this synthesizer. Not only do these upgrade the synth's appearance, but they also improve the overall durability of the synthesizer. Otherwise, the synth is in decent cosmetic condition.

The DX21 is a 4 operator FM synthesizer which is similar in architecture to the DX27 and DX100. It is considered one of the best 4 operator FM synths that Yamaha made. The keyboard can be split to play two different patches or two patches can be stacked. It also is one of the only Yamaha FM synths of its era to include a built-in chorus effect, which sounds quite nice."
