"INTRODUCTORY SALE PRICE UNTIL 20 July 2015

LoopTree is an exciting new breed of looper that brings more fun than ever to creating live music! Record and group practically unlimited vocal and instrumental loops using a powerful, layered interface that gives you unrivalled control over the music you create.

Get your creative juices flowing and evolve your loops using the built-in filter and multi-touch beat repeat.

http://www.looptreeapp.com/

LoopTree solves the problem of destructive merging by instead combining your loops into layers. You retain individual control over your original loops and you can also control them as one using the new layer.

Note: of course nothing’s truly unlimited, but we haven’t programmed any specific limit to the number of loops or layers you can have. If you keep adding loops, eventually you will start to hear audio glitches.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

• Unlimited number of loops (practically!)
• Non-destructive layering
• Beat repeat - sample, repeat and reverse loops
• Filter - add variety with an LPF, BPF and HPF

RECORDING

• Normal recording - fixed or multiple length loops
• Chained recording - select multiple tracks to record loops back-to-back
• Layered recording - equivalent of non-destructive overdubbing

LOOP LENGTH

Within a session, all loops are a 2^n multiple of the shortest loop (2x, 4x, 8x, etc). This makes it really easy to set the loop length whilst recording.

EASY TO USE

• One-finger volume/pan control on individual or simultaneous loops
• Group control - group tracks into layers; parent tracks control all layers of child tracks.
• MIDI Control
• Quantize options
• Metronome - create custom accented rhythms

SHARING AND IMPORT

• Support for IAA, AudioBus and AudioCopy/Paste
• Share sessions and recordings via email, iTunes and SoundCloud

AUDIO INTERFACES

LoopTree works well with headphones, but for truly outstanding quality, we recommend using a USB audio interface. We have tested the following interfaces:

• Behringer UCA222 and 202
• Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (includes MIDI)"

New FYRD Instruments SQR Analog & MIDI Sequencer

via FYRD Instruments:

"The SQR sequencer is our entry in the modular world. This 4-channels desktop sequencer is very adaptable: you can use it with MIDI gears or modular rigs, you can play it like a classical 16-steps sequencer or go crazy and use the probabilistic approach on top of an innovative stage behavior sequencer, you can sequence on 4 monophonic channels or easily compose a 4 voices polyphonic exotic chord, you can sync it with MIDI or an external clock signal from your modular rig or use its internal clock, to name a few.

Apart from its powerful features, the greatest strength of the SQR is its ability to help you visualize what you are doing. Its big and easy-to-read led display can show you every variations in your sequence, from individual gate lengths to pitches and octaves, from individual slide lengths to chord names or step probabilities. Everything is clear and hands-on: you have direct access to all the essentials parameters and you can visualize everything instantly.

Very similar to the MTRX in design, the SQR is made from top quality components at each stage. From the beautiful enclosure to the Digital-To-Analog converter, each component has been choosen carefully to offer the best possible experience to the user. And we are very proud of the result!

First 50 units will be available by the end of August. The firsts 50 units will be selled at 499€ (incl. VAT), the next will be selled at 599€.

Shipping is 10€ for France, 30€ for Europe, 40€ for USA/Canada and 50€ for others countries.

Specifications

16-steps with individual control of pitch, octave, gate length, gate probability, slide length and stage behavior

4x CV/Gate channels with mono- or polyphonic control (chords)

16-stages behavior sequencer: for each stage you can either play it normally or skip it, stay blocked on it for up to 16 steps, create a tril (up to 8 notes per step) or jump to any other step of your choosing

selectable shapes for the slide between two notes (exponential, linear, ...)

selectable scale for pitches and chords

selectable CV offset per channel

for each channel: loop-in/loop-out, warp mode (forward, backward, ping-pong), step duration (1/32th to 2 bars)

3x sync modes: internal (with or without MIDI clocks out), external clock (for modular rigs) and MIDI

selectable clock divider for all sync modes, both for input and output clocks

Restored Moog Minimoog Analog Synth with African Makore Hardwood

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"You are bidding on a 1974 Moog Minimoog that has been extensively restored. This has been a long term project for me, and while it now works perfectly and looks beautiful, it really should be in a hands of a musician playing it every day, rather than a tinkerer like me. The work that has been done to this synth includes:

A brand new wooden cabinet made from African Makore hardood (this alone was worth 450 dollars).
All electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with high quality modern ones (with higher temperature ratings in many cases).
The 5 open type potentiometers have been replaced with closed higher quality clarostat pots. (this includes both volume pots).
The keyboard has brand new plastic caps (that's right, identical modern reproductions, so no cracked or scratched keys). The keyboard has also been leveled, all bushings replaced, and every key lubed with the same stuff they used in the 70s (what can I say, I'm a stickler for detail).
The Vinyl cover and the stickers have been replaced with modern precision replicas. • All the knobs have been replaced with identical brand new reproductions. (I'm told they were made by the same factory). These are shiny and new.
The tuning trimmers on the oscillator board have been changed from wirewound, to modern multi turn high precision trimmers. The downside is that you can no longer tune the oscillators with a screwdriver through the back. You have to take the cover off. The upside is that you probably won't have to, they keep in tune quite well.
The pitch bend pot has been replaced, the center notch adjusted to feel more obvious. The modulation wheel has been tuned to be dead zero when it's down. Previously it wasn't.
Brand new overload lamp, so you can overload to your heart's content.
Brand new hardware such as screws, washers, nuts etc.
Tuned and calibrated, as you would expect."
