"Fairlight Announces Divestment of its Professional Audio Technology

21 Jul 2016
Opportunity for organisations to enhance their competitiveness with highly innovative technologies

Fairlight.AU, the Australian technology development company best known for its professional audio products that are used by major broadcasters and producers around the world, has today announced that it is actively seeking a buyer for its Professional Audio technology.

“Over its long history, Fairlight has continually developed highly innovative professional audio technologies that are used by a large number of major content producers around the world” says Philip Belcher, CEO. “With a range of innovative new AES67 compliant audio distribution products approaching release, it has been decided that the potential for Fairlight’s professional audio technologies is much larger than can be achieved under the current ownership.”

Fairlight is seeking to enter into discussions with organisations that wish to leverage its professional audio technologies to augment their offerings and enhance their competitive positions in this rapidly evolving market. It is anticipated that with the level of interest for the technologies that offer the potential of a key strategic advantage as part of a larger portfolio, it should not be long before a transaction is complete.

The company will now focus its efforts on its patented picture key work surface technology which it licences to manufacturers of highly user interactive tactile equipment.”

Red Hat - Yamaha Montage Trancy Live Jam

Published on Jul 21, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"Still learning this fantastic instrument. This jam was made with all live playing. There is no sequencing in this. It's all live playing of the Montage using the arpeggiators and different 'scenes' from the Montage. The performance in the Montage is based on a preset called 'Crumbler' and it's just a lot of fun. So much going on. This is a very powerful instrument to be able to do this all with live performance. You should get one."

Moog Minimoog Voyager Signature Edition SN 351 of 600

"On top of the beautiful physical condition, this synth is also extremely rare! That's because it is the Bob Moog Signature Edition Model- only 600 of these were produced. This serial number for mine is 351, as you can see in the last photo.

This synth is very portable but also extremely well built and sturdy. The back panel can lift up in adjustable positions, allowing you to access the the knobs/buttons while sitting, but you can also lie the panel flat if you are standing while playing or you are storing the synth. There are two Moog stickers that I have placed on the sides to give it a cool look. Please know that these are stickers and not painted on logos- so they are removable if you desire.

Sound wise, this synth has endless possibilities. It features 3 oscillators, which alone is a rare feature for an analog synth. This allows for extremely thick and versatile sounds. On top of the oscillators, it has tons of modulation capabilities, including a boatload of pedal/external options on the back panel. The filter sound is typical Moog first class. It also features a nifty touch pad in the center that acts as an additional mod wheel. The voyager is capable of anything from gnarly basses to super smooth leads."

Patch Notes #7 - Lorenz Attractors With Ornament & Crime

Published on Jul 21, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Patch Notes exploring chaotic voltages generated by Lorenz attractors using the Low Rents mode in Ornament & Crime, a multi-purpose, open source module for Eurorack modular synthesizer.

Ornament & Crime is sending the Lx1 XORed to Rx1 out from channel A to control the Timbre on Mutable Instruments Braids in WTx4 mode, while channel B is sending Lx1 to Braids 1v/Oct input. Braids is quantizing the incoming signal to a Minor Pentatonic scale.

Channel C (set to Ly1) is controlling the Fall time on Make Noise Maths channel 4. Braids is routed to the Mutable Ripples filter and out from the LP4/VCA output, which is being controlled by Maths.

Tempi is clocking René which is sequencing the bass part in the DPO. The final output is routed through MMG and then the Optomix, all from Make Noise. The X-Gate output from René is routed to trigger two envelopes on the Malekko ADLFO, one routed to control the bass channel on the Optomix, the second triggering the other set of 3 envelopes in the ADLFO.

One of the ADLFO envelopes is routed to the DPO Mod Bus Index, giving the bass a bit of grit and grime here and there. Another of the envelopes is routed to the MMG filter cutoff to shape the timbre of the bass.

Tempi is also clocking Brains and Pressure Points, 5 channels from which are routed to the Pitch, Decay, Morph, Fold and Spread inputs on the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, which is generating all of the high frequency percussion. Tempi is also clocking the Wogglebug, which is routed to the BI Harm input.

Patterns are being generated by the Malekko Varigate 4, also clocked by Tempi. Channel A is triggering Maths, the envelope controlling Ripples on random steps, about 50% probability of a note each step. Channel B is controlling the BI, with a slightly lower chance per step than channel A. Channel C is the kick drum pattern, which is coming from the Malekko Dual Borg (as seen in a previous tutorial video). Channel D routed to another envelope on the ADLFO, and then to the Strike input on the Optomix, controlling random plucks of the bass, with different note probability per step, and about 50% chance of repeat per step.
