New M-Audio Axiom Controllers

"The M-Audio® Axiom® 61 controller combines all the production power and performance you need to get the most from your music software and MIDI gear. More than just a “data entry” controller, the Axiom 61 features piano-style, semi-weighted keys for a musically satisfying playing experience. Large dynamic trigger pads make it easy to program beats and trigger one-shot samples—while the encoder knobs, faders, and buttons deliver complete real-time control over your software. DirectLink mode provides easy, automatic access to common DAW functions* including transport, mixer, track pan, and virtual instrument parameters—no complicated setup required. Axiom 61 even features a sleek, angled top panel for easy viewing in any environment."

"The M-Audio® Axiom® Pro 61 keyboard controller builds on the acclaimed Axiom 61 with premium TruTouch™ action, proprietary HyperControl™ MIDI mapping technology and other cutting-edge enhancements. HyperControl automatically maps the keyboard’s 65 controls to commonly accessed parameters in digital audio workstations including Pro Tools®, Cubase, Logic and Reason*, as well as software instruments. The constant two-way link with your host DAW means the keyboard’s controls are always in sync with your software’s active parameters. The intuitive graphic LCD constantly updates the current values, which ensures seamless editing and prevents parameter jumps—even when plug-ins are closed. Toggle instantly between Mixer and Instrument control modes. Map buttons to send QWERTY key commands right from the Axiom Pro 61. Save settings to 50 memory locations—each with four profiles of quick recall via the intuitive graphic LCD. Now you can control your entire session right from your Axiom Pro 61."

Sherman Filterbank 2 Experiments

YouTube via zibbybone | July 13, 2010

"A couple of months ago, a buddy of mine asked me to pick up this Filterbank he found on the Dallas Craigslist. When he came to town to pick it up, we whipped up this quick video of it. First we run an unfiltered saw wave from a Roland SH-101. The gate out from the 101 is running into the FB's ADSR trigger in and the 101's CV out is running into the FB's FM input. Later, we run a Roland TR-606 through it, using the trigger out from the 606's low tom to trigger the FB's ADSR. Let the mayhem begin!"

Reason Micro Tutorial - Kong's Synth Drums

Double Rainbow ref in this one.
"Has music just not sounded the same to you since Miami Vice went off the air? Then you're in luck! The synth drums in Kong bring analog drum sounds back to your music. Most analog sounds these days are sampled, meaning the sound you load is the sound you've got. In this micro tutorial you'll see how easy it is to make wonderfully tweakable analog synth drums and assign them to your pads."
