Propellerheads Rack Extension Developer Interview

YouTube Uploaded by sonicstate on Mar 27, 2012

"One of the big pieces of news from MESSE was not actually at the show. The night before it all kicked off, Propellerheads had a press event at a rather stylish hotel in the centre of Frankfurt, where they unveiled Figure - the iOS application with Reason synth engines, and the new Reason Rack Extension plug-in format. This is opened up to developers and they say its as easy it can be to port over existing plugs and instruments (though it helps if they have a rack-like GUI).

To test this theory, we caught up with Magnus Lidstrom from SonicCharge (they make the excellent Synplant instrument) who converted his BitSpeak plug-in to the new format in time for the demo. [Magnus Lidstrom also created the Malstrom graintable synth]

Reason Rack Extensions are coming in Reason 6.5 (Summer we think).

Korg MonoTron Naked (Delay Model) Hack

Korg Monotron Naked (Original model)_hack # 3

YouTube Uploaded by DJjondent on Mar 27, 2012

"Sequenced via CV and Gate using the Non Linear circuits bindubba1 & 3 sequencers.
I hacked this a while ago with the help of din sync.
www.dinsync.info/2010/06/how-to-modify-korg-monotron.html

Thanks guys.

The monotron is cheap and begging to be circuit bent and hacked.

Its a shame that the monotron filter used is only the low pass one from the Korg MS 20.
To get a real feel of the beauty that is the MS 20 you also need the high pass.
Please Korg... put the HP filter in your next monotron.
Videos of my hacked Monotron Duo & Monotron Delay comming soon."

Digital Collisions for iOS

"Digital Collision is a unique sound generator based on physics collisions algorithms.
It can produces real nice sound textures from the most clear to the weirdest granular.
The sound engine is a polyphonic tone generator.

It is the second application designed by Julien Bayle (known as protofuse on the digital electronic music scene)

Touch the screen to create particles.
Each particle lives its own life, making sounds while bumping walls or meeting the other particles.

By clicking on Menu, you can control particles lifes & sounds.

Zen defines the quietness of particles.
Autogeneration is a special mode where particles are generated automatically, sometimes.
Birth defines the amount of automatically generated particles in Autogeneration mode.
Delay Amount is the percentage of delay fx, Time is the length of the delay,Feedback is the percentage of output sent back inside the Delay, Symmetry is the most strange parameter involving stereo disorientation.
Filter Freq control the center frequency of the global BandPass filter & High Notes is the Highest Note produced (MIDI notation)

You have to test the Noise.
It produces an unique & nebulous collision soundscape & you can control the amount of nebulosity.

The background of the application is totally time-sensitive.
It can be black at night and light grey at day, a manner to express the living behaviour of the machine"
