Camel Audio Acquired by Apple?

via MacRumors

"Apple appears to have acquired popular music plug-in and effect maker Camel Audio, based on information found on corporate registry site Companies House [PDF]. Camel Audio's address has been updated to 100 New Bridge Street, which is Apple's London address, and the company's sole director is now listed as Apple lawyer Heather Joy Morrison, suggesting the company is in the possession of Apple.

Camel Audio is known for its range of plug-ins, synthesizers, effects, and sound libraries, which were available via the company's Alchemy software. Previously available for $249, Alchemy included more than 1000 sounds, 5.5GB worth of samples, a powerful additive resynthesis engine, spectral resynthesis, a virtual analog synthesizer, and more. Its powerful engine was highly useful to those who liked to create and manipulate audio for unique sounds."

Interesting. Curious if it will become part of Garage Band. Deeper instruments coming to the platform?

EML Poly-Box

"The EML Poly-Box is a rare and unique beast. Only 130 were ever built, much fewer in orange. Their primary function is to turn a monosynth into a polysynth, by simply plugging the monosynth through it's loop. Then you can play chords with the monosynth sound. In addition it has 2 oscillators, pitch up & down 1 octave, nice phasing and a hold switch (to sustain notes). It sounds pretty cool on it's own, and can make any monosynth much more versatile. DEVO's Mark Mothersbaugh can be seen playing them live, back in the day.

:: Condition

This Poly-Box is from the late 70's, and in great working & physical condition. There are a few minor scratches on it's wood sides and a missing center hub on one of the knobs. The keys are slightly uneven, but for it's age, it's in very fine shape, and a super-funky piece of history."

"Up for sale is a fine example of a Baldwin Tempo-Matic rhythm machine, from 1969. It has 14 basic beats, with 4 variations each, a cool orange light that pulses to the tempo, and real wood sides. It has a RCA out (new cable included), works flawlessly and is super-clean, with no major blemishes. It sounds raw & funky (look up samples). If you collect drum machines, this is definitely one for the collection, as it's rare, unique, and in great physical & working condition."

'Coffee' Electribe EA-1 with Volca Bass, Keys, Electribe ESX-1, MT25d Monotribe multimod

Published on Feb 23, 2015 Arrayzable

"Another 4 chord jam mostly consisting of sequences and some live play on the MT25d. The core of the track is the Electribe EA-1 that I bought used for a little less than a Volca. Pretty Lo-fi compaired to later Electribes, but great interface for making musical ideas come true! I'm really happy with the purchase!

I use the EA-1 as a bass sequencer here. It can go even lower than this but on my speaker system at home it sounds as the ESX-1 can go even lower - if you'd ever need that!

Used in this track:
Electribe EA-1
Volca Bass
Volca Keys
Electribe ESX-1
MT25d Monotribe multimod
Kaossilator
+ miniKP2 for recording

Go get the old Electribes!!! 'Coffee' will revive anything!!!!"
