"This Akai AX60 Synthesizer works perfectly and sounds excellent! There is some light cosmetic wear. Most notably, the display panel for the octave and waveform functions are sunken down slightly from the surface- these controls and lights still work fine. Other than that there are a handful of light blemishes, mostly on the back panel."

via SOUNDMIT

"Torino, Agosto 2017

Thanks to the success of the previous editions of TORINO SYNTH MEETING, we are collecting the memberships of many national and international exhibitors. SOUNDMIT is, with its specialization, the largest sector event in Southern Europe.

There are almost 40 brands that have joined the initiative, either directly or through Italian distributors, and many others are coming.

We know from today that some companies will present to the SOUNDMIT the major innovations in the world of musical instruments and previews, we have signed NDAs and we can not reveal anything at the moment, but we feel that the public will have a lot to see at the first Week of November.

PATRONAGE

We are pleased to announce that, thanks to a meticulous work with institutions, SOUNDMIT has been given the patronage of the following entities:

● CITTÀ METROPOLITANA DI TORINO

● Università degli Studi di Roma “Tor vergata”
● Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettronica Università degli Studi di Roma “Tor vergata” con il “Master in Ingegneria del Suono e dello Spettacolo“

A space will be dedicated to the institutions within our program, during which a discussion and dissemination debate will be held involving the various institutional actors promoting highly specialized training courses in the field of electronic music and the world of music.

Circuit Mono Station Now Available


via Novation

"Circuit Mono Station is now available for sale in-store and online. The next-generation sequenced monosynth builds on the 32 velocity-sensitive RGB pads found on Circuit, with a paraphonic analogue synthesiser that originates from the Bass Station II, plus three sequencer tracks that benefit from the 32 velocity-sensitive RGB pads found on Circuit.

The synth has two oscillators that can be individually controlled, three distortion modes, plus one multi-mode filter with high-pass, low-pass or band-pass. With Circuit Mono Station, the sync and tuning parameters of its two oscillators can be individually controlled. It also offers four waveshapes (sawtooth, triangle, square and sample + hold), a sub-oscillator, ring modulation and noise generation. Users can get the frequency band they want by applying high-pass, low-pass and band-pass filters with slopes of 12dB and 24dB. In addition, Circuit Mono Station introduces a powerful overdrive.

Both monophonic and paraphonic modes are available, with each oscillator individually controlled by its own sequencer. In total, there are three sequencer tracks: two oscillator sequencers and one modulation sequencer. Users can alter Gate length, switch patterns instantly, choose sync rate and mutate patterns.

A four-by-eight modulation matrix makes it possible to route from LFO with the four waveshapes, envelope, sequencer or velocity, enabling complex modulation for pitch, pulse-width, amp, filter, distortion or CV. Up to 64 patches can be loaded and saved on the device, right at the user's fingertips.

Circuit Mono Station controls separate hardware via CV, Gate and modulation outputs, and has MIDI In, Out and Thru, so other MIDI gear can be connected. Passing an audio signal through the audio input opens up a world of analogue filtration and distortion. Using the audio input with the mod sequencer, a source can be modulated, evolved and processed in entirely new ways. Via USB, Circuit Mono Station can be plugged into Mac or PC, where unlimited patches can be kept using Components.

Pricing is as follows:

US = $499.99 ex. tax

Germany = €549.99 inc. 19% VAT

UK = £479.99 inc. 20% VAT"
