Korg MS20 Mini Analog Synthesizer Demo - Sweetwater at Winter NAMM 2013

Published on Jan 26, 2013 SweetwaterSound·1,197 videos

"Steve McNally from Korg demonstrates the sweet new MS20 Mini synthesizer, an exact reproduction of the iconic MS20 from 1978. Get yours here: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MS20mini

The classic Korg MS20 analog synthesizer is back and smaller than ever in the MS-20 Mini keyboard. Shrunk to 86% the size of the original, the MS20 Mini features all of the VCAs, filters, and modulation possibilities that made the MS20 a hit back in 1978. It also sports modern upgrades, including MIDI integration and an external signal processor.

Korg MS20 Mini Analog Synthesizer Features:

• The classic MS-20 analog synthesizer in a new compact format
• Features all of the VCAs, filters, and modulation sources as the original
• Enhanced oscillator design delivers vintage tone with less noise
• ESP (External Signal Processor) functionality lets you plug in a mic or guitar
• Built-in mini patchbay lets you reconfigure your sound via 1/8" patch cables"

NAMM 2013: Dr. Lonnie Smith meets Sub Phatty

Uploaded on Jan 25, 2013 MoogMusicInc·222 videos

This one sent in directly from Moog. You are seeing it here on MATRIXSYNTH first folks.  You might remember him from this previous post.

"Legendary jazz organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, stopped by Moog's booth at NAMM 2013 to try out the Sub Phatty.

Learn more about the Sub Phatty here:

http://www.moogmusic.com/subphatty"

For those not familiar with Lonnie Smith you can read up on him on Wikipedia here and his official website here.

via Wikipedia:

"He was born in in Lackawanna, New York,[1] into a family with a vocal group and radio program. Smith says that his mother was a major influence on him musically, as she introduced him to gospel, classical, and jazz music. He was part of several vocal ensembles in the 1950s, including the Teen Kings. Art Kubera, the owner of a local music store, gave Smith his first organ, a Hammond B3... He was named the "Organ Keyboardist of the Year" in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009 by the Jazz Journalist Association."

He helped form the George Benson Quartet and followed with a solo career releasing his first album "Finger Lickin' Good". I'd say that pretty much sums up his playing above.

NAMM 2013: Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot Full Details & Video!

"The Trigger Riot represents a new type of sequencer that is both creatively deep on one hand and intuitive on the other.

From a conceptual view, the Trigger Riot generates 16 clock streams consisting of multiple time manipulation functions (division, offsets, etc) that interact to create the trigger output, and direct access to each parameter via individual knobs allows for quick manipulation. The 8 outputs are the sum of those manipulated streams per row. The outputs of the module are arranged as either a 4x4 matrix, where each of the 16 knobs affects both row and column, or as a set of independent outputs for each row or column. This allows forming 8 complex musical interactions in a ‘Matrix’ mode or 8 independent streams in ‘Independent’ mode and is switchable from one to the other on press of a button for some unexpected results.

Since each of the 16 knobs represents a real time tweakable trigger generator/modifier the Trigger Riot is extremely playable and can result very complex patterns with only few knob turns; patterns that would otherwise take much longer and in some instances be almost impossible to produce using grid based step sequencing. Patterns can have unique time signatures that can repeat or be randomized through probability, time shifted and phased, divided, multiplied and counted, it’s unbelievable how complex this module can get with minimal input.

Functions include:

Divide: Divide the clock stream into either even or odd divisions from 1 to 255

Speed: Multiply or Divide the clock streams in sub clock particles based on 24 PPQ, breaking up the standard grid values.

Probability: Sets the odds of a trigger firing which makes more varied and less rigid patterns or can create subtle accents and fills.

Pulse Width: Sets the pulse width of each stream, creating overlaps and as a result all kind of odd time signatures; also great for sustaining envelopes or for programming a high pulse fro some time.

Clock Offset: Moves the trigger streams in time to change the relationship between streams. Streams can be set to the same amount but offset to trigger in between each other rather than simultaneously to create syncopation effects.

Time Shift: Shifts the triggers streams variably in between clocks for swing type feels and off the grid patterns.

Step: Places single shot triggers on individual clock ‘Steps’ to trigger events once per pattern. This can also be seen as a pulse counter.

Mute/Sel: Muting of each trigger output for live dub mixing or to select which row to edit in ‘Independent’ mode.

Tap tempo: Tap in your own time.

Cycle: Internal reset counter to constrain pattern length and relationships between divisions

Clock Out: Trigger out of the Riot’s highly accurate internal clock

Clock Input: External clock

Reset Out: Trigger output based on the internal reset length

Reset In: External trigger input to reset the internal count

Playing sets:

The Trigger Riot features 4 banks of 4 presets for saving, and instant recall of patterns with any level of complexity making it a real time sequencer. Patterns and banks are not volatile and can be loaded for stage or studio sessions on power up.

Several riots can be synced together with all control signals shared based on a master reset, clock, and pattern across multiple units and even synced with the Circadian Rhythm sequencer.

In addition to that, a master touch controller is in development which can control up to 4 Riots for the ultimate in hardware sequencing for Tip Top’s wide array of drum and synthesis modules (of course, it works great with every other module too).

A little bit of what going on under the hood: The Trigger Riot is made with the latest in high-end microprocessors and a special combination of hardware and firmware technology designed to achieve unprecedented levels of timing and extreme types of pattern complexity.

Size: 28HP

Engine: State of the art 80MHz 32bit Processor MIPS M4K Core

Available: We are hoping to have it released late march 2013, keep your fingers crossed

Price: TBD"
