Akai Pro Rhythm Wolf (Demo)

Published on Sep 3, 2014 colectivotriangular

"A short demo of Akai's full analogue drum machine / bass synth Rhythm Wolf showing the different sections.
Almost everything was recorded in realtime, external delay effect used on the bassline. The bassline in the first part of the video was added afterwards.
Subwoofer or headphones recommended.

Casi todo fue grabado en directo, menos la línea de bajo en la primera parte del video. Simplemente se me había olvidado activar 'record' en Ableton. "

Korg Gadget Updated with Landscape Mode, New Gadgets, Ableton Support & More

Landscape mode is particularly useful for when you want to use an external MIDI keyboard as the MIDI USB and audio connectors are on opposite ends of the iPad.  You also have more screen real-estate to interact with the controls.  It doesn't appear you can go full screen with the synths though.  Regardless it will be a step up in usability for some.

Super Sequence Fighter

Published on Sep 4, 2014 Brendan Byrne

Thought this was interesting. A sequencer for gaming from DIY synth maker Brendan Bryne.

"Radical arcade stick design. Super Sequence Fighter allows players to program in a sequence of attacks and movements. The number of commands and the speed that they are stepped through are variable. All controls are adjustable in real-time.

Inspired by electronic music step-sequencers."

Yamaha PSS-570 - Demo

Published on Sep 3, 2014 Synthbug

"Synthbug.com
Free samples from this keyboard are on my webpage at
www.synthbug.com/Yamaha_PSS-570.html

This is a demo of the Yamaha PSS-570 synthesizer.

It actually is quite a flexible little synth. In it you have a drum machine, a preset FM keyboard, and samples that can be played manually across the keys. It also has auto cord and manual control FM. So you can create limited but good FM sounds.

The PSS-570 can be used with an adapter or batteries so you can head out and play this thing as if it were an iPad app. Put this puppy on your lap next time you take a flight anywhere and see the stares you'll get!"
