TB MIDI Stuff Andromeda Editor V1 Now Available

via Boele: "As of today the first version of the iPad editor for the Andromeda A6 synthesizer is available. The editor captures all sound editing parameters on the Andromeda, spread out over 102 pages with a combined mix of NRPN and system exclusive messages. Its focus has been on sound design, so it is not a librarian (yet). That might or might not change in the future.

The editor is free, however the template it needs to run in "TB MIDI Stuff", a MIDI controller app for the iPad which costs 4,99 $ / 4,49 €. The app is totally worth the money since it's developer, Fabien Manchec, helped a lot in the background to make this Andromeda editor possible.
Besides running this Andromeda Editor, you can use the app also to build your own MIDI control templates or use already made templates by others.
I would appreciate it a lot if you give the app a nice rating/review in iTunes as a thank you to him!

The download link will give you a zipped file which after unpacking leaves you with two files: the actual editor and a Read Me text file. I suggest you first read the Read Me text file! :-)

I would appreciate it a lot when users mail me with bug reports, ideas and suggestions: scd@synthmusic.info.

I will use the forum on electro-music.com for discussions about the editor and the Andromeda.

Update: direct link to the editor download here.

For me personally, sound design on the Andromeda changed completely: to have a better oversight of all the functions and a WAY better interface (specially concerning the knob value resolution) makes the Andromeda like a complete new synthesizer for me.
Yes, the thing has a few bugs, yes, even with the editor it still is a complex synth, but oh it can be *so* rewarding. And in a way it is a 16 voice polyphonic analog modular. With patch memory! That's pretty unique.

Enjoy!

Korg Polysix with Aftertouch

"This video demonstrates the capabilities of the New England Analog Pyxis Aftertouch System when installed in a Korg Polysix. The Pyxis allows players to modulate pitch, filter, volume, and pulse width using key pressure. This mod makes the Polysix sound like a much more expensive synth! For more information about this modification, the Pyxis, or to purchase this instrument, please visit our website at www.NewEnglandAnalog.com."

"Was made in July 1991 by Riga`s Music Instruments Factory (RMIF). Elsita has four independent and identical channels of analog drum synthesis that can produce really fat and original analog drum sounds. You can trigger it from drum pads (triggers) or from any audio out - drum machine, analog output of soundcard etc. As other soviet devices Elsita has it`s own unique character that will be great for any sound design experiments!

Control on the front desk for each channel:
Gain, Tone, Attack, Release, Tone | Noise Balance, Filter, Level."
