"Reactable mobile is a modular music studio that uses the very same audio engine and graphics of the original hardware, allowing you a very intuitive and visual method for improvisation and song creation. The app gives you access to a very large range of exclusive content using the in-app community browser, which you can simply remix or use as source material for your own compositions. Reactable now has AudioBus support and audio copy/paste, which is a perfect combination for importing your own samples and recording either live or pre-recorded performances directly into other apps that also support AudioBus. It's probably better to have a decent grip on synthesis to get the most out of this app, but with such a large range of community table presets available, it is also a good way to learn synthesis in a very visual way. You do also get samplers, sequencers, effects and modulation modules to connect up in any fashion you like. You get 4 separate samplers that are able to load 4 samples each, so you can easily change sounds with the tap of a finger. The video below shows how to manipulate many of the parameters available, loading samples, drawing your own wave shapes and generally navigating a performance. The audio track is an example of a live performance recorded directly into Multitrack DAW using AudioBus. I have to admit that I'm a big fan of all modular styled apps, and this one is definitely one of the best. The inclusion of sampler modules with AudioBus connectivity certainly makes this a big favourite of mine, and the easy access to a large amount of community tables definitely makes this ... A Killer App!

VERY pleased with the results, especially once whacked thru Filtatron on iOS, effectively using the MuteSynths as sample sources grabbed in realtime. Chucked this together with them"

SOCIAL ENTROPY RELEASES QUICKSILVER 606 CPU UPGRADE FOR THE TR-606

Quicksilver 606 Introduction

"The Quicksilver 606 CPU upgrade for the TR-606 is now available! [Press release below] The soundtrack is by Syn303, track available here: https://soundcloud.com/syn303/kontakt..."

Quicksilver 606 Features Overview
Published on Apr 4, 2013

"We go over some of the new features of the Quicksilver 606 CPU upgrade for the TR-606. We cover individual instrument accents, 32 step patterns, MUTE and ROLL, randomize, rotate, reverse and some MIDI capabilities."

PRESS RELEASE:

"Dallas, TX, April 04, 2013 - Exactly one year after the successful release of the Quicksilver 303, Social Entropy is pleased to announce the Quicksilver 606 CPU upgrade. Quicksilver 606 is a completely new replacement CPU for the classic TR-606 drum machine. The operating system has been rewritten from the ground up.

The Quicksilver 606 introduces the capability to accent individual instrument triggers. A mix of accented and unaccented triggers can be placed on the same step. This ability makes it possible to program much more expressive patterns that weren’t possible on the original TR-606.

A new MUTE/ROLL mode has been added specifically for realtime performance.
MUTE mode allows muting of individual instrument tracks. Mutes can be applied in realtime and stored with a pattern or applied globally across patterns.
ROLL mode creates a note repeat of selected instruments. The time division of the roll can be changed in realtime for dynamic build-ups and variations.

Patterns can now be up to 32 steps in length, split across two 16 step sections. When extending a pattern from 16 to 32 steps, pattern data can copied automatically into the new section. Up to sixteen patterns can be chained for playback.

The sequencing engine supports standard grid and tap programming methods. A new realtime record capability also allows patterns to be entered live with a MIDI controller, with incoming velocity used to dynamically set accents.

Functions like copy and paste, randomize, rotate and reverse can be applied to individual instruments or entire patterns.


The extended track mode allows for complete songs to be constructed using patterns. Each track step has settings for instrument mutes, multiple repeats or pattern chains.

Changing between modes can be performed without stopping the sequencer. All data is stored in EEPROM memory, eliminating the need for batteries.

Enhanced MIDI connectivity provides synchronization, sequencer input and output, as well as a new "MIDI Control Mode" which allows the buttons of the TR-606 to be controlled remotely by any device that can send MIDI note messages.

Full MIDI System Exclusive support means that pattern and track data can be dumped to external devices for backup or sharing. USB MIDI can also be used for direct connection to various USB host devices.

USB connectivity is also used for easy operating system upgrades.

The Quicksilver 606 is available for immediate purchase. Price for the base CPU is $275 USD, with free installation for a limited time.

Jam #2, had a few drinks and thought it a good idea to play around, no synths were hurt in the filming. Lots of sloppiness but happy to put this up to look back on when I'm somewhat more competent. :-)

ARP 2600 on a Napkin

via The Guvnor

"Basically, my ARP 2600 has been in pieces about 10 years, since I took it apart to service it. The disaster happened when my basement was cleared out and I lost the service manual for it. The online service manuals found on the popular sites do not have the circuit/wiring diagrams for all the PCBs so mine was not included. Recently I have located my original service manual after 10 years, and I am now ready for the great 2600 rebuild and resurrection. The napkin was intended to show the years of angst through the eyes of PackRat himself when the only 2600 I had was made by Arturia!"
