Announcing the Beat707 Pulse

"Announcing the Beat707 Pulse synth project created by Jack, our new contributor. This is based on the previous Beat707 SY LE project, but with some twists. This is a WORK in progress, as Jack wishes to see how many users will jump on board. We are gathering some money in order to pay Jack's time, so any contribution will be welcome. For that, we decided to make the project paid-for. You can still get schematics and source-code, for a Do It Yourself (DIY) project.

Please, visit the following link for details on this project, including videos, mp3 and other links...

"New loop remixing sampler, instantly generates infinite new loops

San Francsico, January 14th, 2014 - Twisted Tools have released ULTRALOOP, a first-of-its-kind loop remixing sampler with a fast and intuitive visual workflow for Native Instruments *Reaktor. ULTRALOOP combines advanced loop layering, comping, effect processing and automation techniques to generate new grooves, riffs and song ideas. You can use ULTRALOOP with the included factory sample library or to remix your own samples, injecting new life into any existing loop library. ULTRALOOP is available now from the Twisted Tools Shop for $69.

At the core of ULTRALOOP is an advanced loop layering engine and sequencer, capable of both layering and comping - a production technique that allows you to flip between layered tracks that are playing back simultaneously, by muting and un-muting slices of each layer. Up to eight tracks with loops of any BPM can be layered or comped together in real-time and can be further processed using the all-new Gestural FX engine. The Gestural FX engine automatically generates dynamic effect movements that ramp and modulate over time, using a suite of creative effects designed to produce endless fills, articulations and variations.

To create additional loops and variations, ULTRALOOP features and endless supply of randomization functions, connected to a unique Preset Grid system for each main parameter group. A Preset Grid allows you to store, recall and automate settings by using a dynamic memory grid made up of 17 slots that can be played on-the-fly. The settings for the entire instrument, including all the parameter Preset Grids can be stored and recalled in one of eight Global Scenes, allowing you to create infinite loop variations. All the relevant instrument features can be played with live, without skipping a beat, by using a mouse, MIDI or OSC.

ULTRALOOP comes bundled with various additional content, including an iPad *Lemur template by Antonio Blanca and a factory loop library by artists from Enig’matik, Loopmasters and Sounds of Revolution. A series of Ultraloop Expansion Packs are available separately and feature loops and presets by artists such as Si Begg, Dusty Fungus and Chris Carter.

*Reaktor Player not supported.

**iPad and Liine Lemur iPad App sold separately

Pricing and availability

MTG R100 Builder – Kawai R100 EPROM Builder Software & Expander Switcher

via Music Technologies Group

"This software will enable you to create your own custom EPROMs (BIN files) for the Kawai R100 legendary 12-bit drum machine/rhythm composer.

In a nutshell you collect/create a bunch of WAV files, one for each of the 24 instruments and then this software compiles and converts them into the compressed Kawai format. It’s been a pretty big undertaking, starting with the dissection of the Kawai ASICs. I will eventually include a User Manual and a bunch of WAV and BIN files to get you started.

Your WAV files should each be:

Mono (1 track)
Sample rate of 31.25kHz (you can resample easily in Audacity or similar)
16-bit linear PCM (standard WAV)
Should fit within the sample space of the pad you are targeting."

Kawai R-100 EPROM 3x Expander Switcher

"These are new "SoundSwitcher" boards for the Kawai R100. Each board includes copies of all 3 of the Kawai Factory ROMs that were released. (It is my understanding that these are the ROMs for the R100/R50, R50e and a jazz/fusion one.) You get triple the sounds and it's awesome.

Set-by-step instructions with photos are included. Don't miss this chance to fit your R100 with all the sounds made for it. The circuit board is silkscreened with the signal names, so all you circuit benders out there can bend your drum machine without messing with a fine vintage instrument."

"This particular Mono/Poly is in excellent condition. It has never been gigged or abused, clearly lived in studios its whole life and looks almost mint. There is only minor wear on the front corners of the veneer on the side panels, that is about it. The front panel is flawless without blemishes.

Functionally the unit is 100%, it is working perfectly and plays and sounds great. Prior to sale the unit has gone through our usual high standard of full refurbishment. This includes the following work-

- Replace all electrolytic capacitors with high quality Panasonic/Nichicon.(Makes a huge difference to stability and performance)

- Completely rebuild power supply.

- Thorough cleaning inside and out.

- Replace all electrolytic capacitors with high quality, high temp Panasonic/Nichicon capacitors.

- Clean key contacts.

- All pots, switches and buttons are working perfectly and with no noise or error. They have been cleaned/ lubed or replaced where necessary.

- Complete calibration according to Korg factory spec.

This really brings these old synths back to life and returns them to their former glory. There wouldn't be many Mono/polys in the country with this amount of work and restoration put into them. It sounds amazing and would be great for professionals or amateurs alike."
