RK-002 with Roland M182 Style Sequencer DUY firmware

Published on May 8, 2018 Retrokits

"With the new /DUY firmwares on the RK-002 you can program custom MIDI implementations to do all kinds of cool stuff, not just remap controllers for example...

In this demo we show a Roland System-100 type sequencer emulation (M182 module) which is controlled by a simple MIDI controller. The /DUY is tailored for the Korg NanoKontrol2.

This controller is a USB-MIDI only device and is hosted by our RK-005 (Our standalone USB Host/USB MIDI client interface which will be released soon)."

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

Oberheim OB-Xa Analog Synthesizer from the year 1981

The demo video shows some self programmed sounds.

The sound character of the curtis chip based OB-Xa is very different to the early discrete and SEM based OB-X from the year 1979.

The OB-Xa use the same Curtis (CEM) chips as the Sequential Prophet-5 but the sound is different.

The OB-Xa was available with 4, 6 or 8 voice cards.

Used by:
Van Halen, Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, Gary Numan, Rush, Prince, Foreigner, Vangelis, New Order and much more

THOR Wins MODEL D minimoog app Clone Wars? │ What is going on? - haQ attaQ vlog

Published on May 8, 2018 Jakob Haq

Funny intro. Comparison video below. Skip to it if you want to give it a go first.

"Does Propellerhead Thor sound more MOOG than MOOG Model D? Recently I published a video in where I was comparing Arturia's iMiNi, a minimoog emulation clone app to Model D which is MOOG's own minimoog emulation app. Before starting the comparison I asked viewers to take part in a poll and see if they could spot a Moog from a non-moog. That tests included Propellerheads Thor as a non-moog-clone reference. Well, votes has been counted and seems like Thor was the most Moog out of them all...well at least most of us thought so before the actual comparisons started...so maybe Im being a tad hyperbolic?

Moog Model D is a synthesizer app that emulates the Minimoog. It's available for both iPad and iPhone with audio extension unit support ( AUv3 )."

MOOG Model D app vs ARTURIA iMini │ Can you hear it? - haQ attaQ 281

Published on Apr 12, 2018 Jakob Haq

"Does the Arturia iMini Minimoog clone sound like Moog Model D? Do you think you can spot the difference in sound? Well, I made my Oscilloscope work hard for this one and so all you have to do now is look, listen and judge. I even threw in Propellerhead Thor into the mix as base of reference sine it's not trying to be a minimoog clone. Get ready for some oscilloscope madness."

With features such as repeats, probability and per-channel time resolution, the creative potential is endless! And the best of all - it adds fun to drum programming. Loads of fun!

The ability to set individual speed and step count for each channel means you can go for polyrhythmic mayhem or simply create patterns that don’t sound repetitive after one play through. Unless that’s what you are after of course.

Use Drum Sequencer the way that suits your creative flow best: to sequence all the drums for your project or as a blazingly fast starting point. If you wish you can dump your patterns to Reason’s main sequencer so you can finish your work there."

birdkids CROW Intelligence - Announcement Teaseer

Published on May 8, 2018 birdkids

Previous posts from SUPERBOOTH.

"CROW Intelligence by birdkids is a Generative Hardware Interface for modular setups with an integrated, cross platform, node based, patch editor.

Perform.
CROW Intelligence is a hands-on, assignable, high-precision Generative Interface for modular setups (52hp) and external MIDI devices.
Sixteen endless rotary encoders with multicolor LEDs and four contextual toggle buttons allow for tactile feedback. A bright, no-nonsense LCD Display provides visual feedback for the hardware-controlled, software-assigned control parameters and their corresponding values.
At the core of the hardware is a powerful, ARM-architecture processor running a standalone real time operating system. 16-bit precision ADC/DAC networks provide plenty of scaleable CV and binary I/O for any modular setup.
The CROW Intelligence is a teamplayer: external class-compliant MIDI and MPE devices can be hosted directly and used as multi-timbral, expressive inputs.
All controls are at your fingertips. Intuitive and tactile. Let CROW Intelligence adapt to your workflow and your idea! Focus on the performance.

Control.
CROW Intelligence comes with a built-in server running a node based patch editor (titled “birdnest”). The patch editor can be accessed directly from a browser of your choice on a device of your choice (PC/MAC, iOS, Android etc..).
A patch can be parametrically built from scratch and instantly saved to internal memory for later recall. Of course any patch can be recalled standalone on the device directly. Create at your convenience, control smoothly and surely.
On a blank patch canvas simply start by drag-and-dropping from a multitude of generative sources (called “Functions”), apply any mathematical and logical operations (called “Operators”) then route to a node or output of your choice.
Of course any number of parameters and variables can be assigned to an encoder and/or toggle button on the tactile Interface and labeled accordingly for clear identification on the LCD Display.
Start simple, get as complex as you like. Save and recall any patch instantaneously. Let CROW Intelligence do the math.

Feel.
The principal motivation at birdkids is to enable the Artist and the Arts.
Ultimately we see us as enabling those who have the spark, those who go the extra mile for something remarkable - aspiring to witness a miracle, those who dare to dream and in turn inspire us to dream. It’s about simplifying the process of capturing THE MOMENT. Achieving full potential is not a magic formula, it requires the right environment, the right mindset and the right tools - and our role is to provide those tools.
With that in mind our goal was to develop the centerpiece, the brain of your performance setup. And in turn to declutter the working environment.
CROW Intelligence will provide all the generative modulation and parametric control needed for virtually any setup. Just B.Y.O sound-sources, we’ve got the rest covered!"
