NAMM2014 QUICCO Sound Bluetooth MIDI Controller & Miselu Bluetooth Keyboard

Published on Jan 27, 2014 RockoNCompany·529 videos

Miselu bluetooth keyboard for iPad comes in at 1:55.

Note this is the first Quicco Sound post. I visited the booth as well. The device is solid and has that "ooh, colorful blinky lights" appeal to it. And of course it's wireless. Less cables in your setup is always a good thing. The two people behind QUICCO Sound come from a long history working at Roland and Yamaha. I'll post some pics of the device this week, but it's one of those devices that looks (and feels) even better in person.

Update: accidentally had Cuico instead of Quicco.

Harmonics generator Ladik H-020 modular eurorack

Published on Jan 27, 2014

"Hamonic generator with LFO Ladik H-020 for eurorack / Doepfer A100 system.
Based on three comparators (CV1, CV2, CV3, this third with inbuilt LFO - speed&amount), "Color" knob for sound 'sharpness'
Output is angular stepped wave with rich harmonics content. Best for mixing with original signal.

Internal LFO can be used for third comparator and then sounds like PWM or simple 1-stage wave animator.

Color knob for 'rounding' sharp edges = milder sound."

Studio Electronics Omega 8 Synthesizer

via this auction - nice pic of the voice cards.  One more below.

"Fully loaded with 8X discrete voice boards, 100% working and sounding INCREDIBLE!

This Omega 8 has the maximum 8 voice boards installed, and is running OS 2.AC software which is the ideal "CS friendly" OS for adding CS80 filter modules later. Of course you can add any combination of Studio Electronics' CS80, ARP2600 and/or Roland 303 filter modules to your liking.

Currently in this configuration it has 8X Moog and 8X SEM-style multi-mode filters present.

This is a later unit with serial number in the 13XX range, which features the latest Omega front panel graphics but more importantly benefits from better hardware mounting support/cushioning of the voice boards (you may be able to see the whitish plastic mounting tray with grooves that the voice boards rest in; earlier Omegas don't have this recommended upgrade).

Also, Greg St. Regis from SE told me that the later serial number means that these voice boards can be upgraded to full CODE status (sine wave and added filter control) for $100 LESS than older boards. This is a great consideration if you are on the fence about adding CODE features later!

So as far as Omega 8 go, THIS is the ideal stock unit to start with..."
