NEW CYCLONE ANALOGIC TT-78 BEAT BOT Based on the Roland CR-78

On the heels of the TT-606, Cyclone Analogic releases the TT-78. This one spotted by Doug, via Perfect Circuit Audio.

Details:

"Cyclone Analogic TT-78 Beat Bot

The TT-78, from Cyclone Analogic, is the next step in their collection of classic reproductions of iconic drum machines. The TT-78 is modelled after the classic CR-78 drum machine from Roland, produced in 1978. The TT-78 contains all the modern upgrades one would expect, while also being housed in a sleek shell, similar to the TT-303 and TT-606. It has the same intuitive sequencing functions as the previous Cyclone Analogic unit, but with a completely different sound palette, using sounds like Bongos, Congas, Maracas, and Guiro. There are seven individual outputs, providing independent jacks for most of the sounds. It also comes complete with MIDI In, Out and Thru, for synchronizing the TT-78 with all one's other gear.

TT-78 Beat Bot Features
CR-78 Modelled drum machine
21st century Transistor Technology
Same layout as other Cyclone Analogic units
Classic trigger sequencing interface
Individual audio outputs per drum circuit
64 Patterns available for storage"

Tauntek Firmware Update for the AKAI AX80 Synthesizer

This one in via MATRIXSYNTH reader Tim:

"Akai AX80 owners out there might fins this interesting — I’ve been involved with beta testing a firmware upgrade for the Akai AX80, which adds a number of features.

You gain the ability to save and load your patches via MIDI, as gain CC/SYSEX abilities. There are some other nice upgrades in there, like having a live VCF cutoff control, the ability to toggle the LFO to free running from triggered, and having the current patch number displayed when saving. I even managed be able to edit every parameter at the same time via MIDI CC! The filter control is definitely steppy, but oddly enough, it seems a lot smoother when modulated via MIDI CC.

The site with the info is here: http://tauntek.com/AX80.htm

If you can flash your own EPROMs, then it’s a free upgrade, or you can order the chip, which is pretty cheap ($30) and simple to swap out."

Tauntek also did CC upgrade mods for the Sequential Circuits Max & Multi-Trak.

CREAMWARE Minimax ASB (Authentic Sound Box)

Published on Nov 23, 2016 James Reeno

"Here is a short 'test' of the Minimax in both mono and poly modes!!!

One of the most convincing emulations of the MINIMOOG Model D. (even to this day)
(And the ONLY hardware emulation of it)

Lovely interface & excellent build quality as well....

Very hard to find these days, but well worth it."

"On a whim, I quickly added a few soulful vocal clips to this Nyborg demo and it turned out kind of cool. So, don't take this too seriously. :)

Bit of a tribute to RECOIL - ELECTRO BLUES FOR BUKKA WHITE.

Enjoy"

And that is about as rare as it gets. Between the last three posts, I can't believe the CS80 is on the bottom. The prices reflect the rarity and the market. Essentially, these are for the 1% only, whether you belong to the 1% financially or not... These are the 1% of the synth world.

If you are not familiar with the Technos Acxel Resynthesizer, see the Technos label at the bottom of this post. A working version is extremely rare.
