Improv SYNTHBOY+ MOD3

Published on Jul 26, 2013 deathstarchris·18 videos

"Had a chance to sit down with some euro modular gear and push a couple of Synthboy+'s with the MOD3 upgrade. I used the new 'Clock Synced LFO' from www.ginkosynthese.com to control timing and also for those crazy timing changes. The rest of the gear is from Pittsburgh Modular. Includes the modules 'timetable', 'vcbend', 'sequencers' and 'adsr'. MOD3 is very responsive to analog gear. For more info on Synthboy+ MOD3, here is a link:

Thank you for all of your support."

NIN's Charlie Clouser Signed Nord Rack 3?

"What follows is a long winded story. I'm not changing the price because of this info. It is listed at what I bought it for.

My first synth was a Nord 2. When I was still in college, a friend linked me a page that mentioned Clouser was selling a bunch of his used gear. I had been lusting after a nord three for a while but it was another person selling Clousers equipment for him. The seller was kind enough to mail it to Clouser (the shipping label was clipped and will ship with this auction) in LA have him sign it and send it on to me. He did and it was dedicated as follows;

'Jonathan H? Who the hell is that?!?'

It is also signed and then curiously marked with a NIN logo. This was in 2003 and Clouser was on to his own projects after 2000. I've been keeping it around for sentiment ever since.

In my excitement, I took it right out of the mailing box and smeared the crap out of my name. Apparently the metallic marker took days to cure.

So there you go, if you are a huge 1993-200 NIN or of Clouser's other work, you can get a little piece of that on ebay. If you aren't you can get a totally awesome rack synth. People who see will comment about the lights, they always do."

"Spectrasonics AAX Support for Pro Tools 11
64-bit Omnisphere, Trilian and Stylus RMX Virtual Instruments Updated to 'AAX' plug-in platform for? Pro Tools 11 Compatibility

BURBANK, CALIF - July 26th, 2013 - Spectrasonics today released an 'AAX Public Beta' version of the company's three popular virtual instruments Omnisphere, Trilian and Stylus RMX for Avid's new Pro Tools(tm) 11. Registered users of the Spectrasonics instruments can log into their user accounts to download the Public Beta versions. The new versions are available at no charge to registered users to test with the new 64-bit version of Pro Tools. Omnisphere, Trilian and Stylus RMX are all native 64-bit software instruments designed to work with Pro Tools 11 on both OS X and Windows.

'Pro Tools 11 is a major new version of the industry standard DAW - essentially a ground-up new 64-bit architecture application. Spectrasonics is fully committed to the Pro Tools platform and we want to support our cutting-edge users who have already begun upgrading to it,' says Eric Persing, Founder and Creative Director of Spectrasonics. 'This public beta of our 64-bit instruments offers AAX support to take advantage of all the new power in Pro Tools version 11. It's exciting for us to be at the forefront of the new 64-bit Pro Tools environment.'

The Award-winning Omnisphere Power Synth is Spectrasonics' flagship instrument featuring a hybrid architecture of high-resolution streaming samples as well as an extensive, fully programmable semi-modular synthesizer, which can be combined for thick, layered patches. Omnisphere ships with over 8,000 sounds. The Trilian Total Bass Module instrument is built on the same STEAM Engine technology as Omnisphere with immense flexibility in programming, while offering a vast selection of patches for Acoustic, Electric and Synth Basses. Stylus RMX, the Realtime Groove Module, is Spectrasonics loop-based plug-in for creating rhythm parts powered with the Spectrasonics Advanced Groove Engine (S.A.G.E.(tm)) and featuring REX file compatibility for importing loops for unlimited library expansion.
