iPads on eBay

"Petites Ondes is the world's first iPad application that reproduce the classical electronic musical instrument Ondes Martenot. You can play it casually during a break for coffee.

Features:
1. Touche (for dynamics control)
2. Playing with keyboard (Clavier)
3. Playing with ring (Bague)
4. Keyboard vibrating
5. Manual vibrato (using accelerometer)
4. timbres select (8, N, C, O, g, G)
5. trill buttons (minor 2nd, major 3rd, and 5th with just intonation)
6. Reverb effect
7. Pitch correction function
8. Help function

For expressive playing, put iPad on your knee is recommended!

Ondes Martenot can play single tone. Right hand: to control the pitch. Left hand: to control dynamics. To produce a sound, you have to touch the "touche"(for control dynamics). But, you can control dynamics as if touch a pressure sensor. This is a method to simulate real "touche". Let's try it with help function is ON."

An Interview with John Bowen on Great Synthesizers

"GS: What was your motivation to develop a synthesizer like the SOLARIS and what were the main challenges?

John Bowen: Well, since I started in 1973 with Bob Moog, my primary use and enjoyment working with synthesizers was very much related to being able to directly use parameters with knobs and sliders, etc., and in all the instrument designs I have been involved with, I have been trying to make sure things are clear and relatively easy to use. As synths became more complex, it was a challenge to handle all of the information available, and so you try to find ways to address this."

Read the full interview on Great Synthesizers here.

John will be showing the Solaris at NAMM at Hall B Booth# 5305.

NAMM Posts

Just some tips for anyone that might be new to the site.

1. Non NAMM posts will continue to go up, so be sure to bookmark the NAMM label and check back often. There's a link to the label on the right of the site menu above as well.

2. The focus for NAMM posts is obviously everything synth, so all NAMM posts have to have a synth connection.

3. Updates to posts will typically get a new post to let you know there was an update. All updates go out on MATRIXSYNTH Twitter and MATRIXSYNTH Facbook. The flow of posts as well as the original post might look a bit messy, but that's how I like it. The reason is, I want to capture the news as it was released. This site is a bit more raw than others. As for which original posts get updated vs. not, it just depends. At some point the updates will stop and new items will just go up in new posts.

4. I do feature original content from other sites with links back for more and/or credit. This promotes other sites. If you have original content, feel free to send it in to matrixsynth@gmail.com. If you don't want me promoting you, feel free to let me know.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment.
