KORG prologue SDK Now Available

via KORG

"prologue introduces an open development API (Application Programming Interface) that allows users to extend the possibilities of the hardware via an SDK (Software Development Kit) and dedicated development tools. Via this SDK custom digital oscillators can be created for the MULTI ENGINE, and custom modulation effects can be added to the existing modulation effects. Users can then load these new custom oscillators and modulation effects into their prologue via the prologue Librarian application (Mac and Win).

Tone Lab - Stackable Componentized Hardware Synthesizer Kit by Colin Hearon

Tone Lab from Colin Hearon on Vimeo.

"Tone Lab is a musical synthesizer kit that upends the traditional software-based approach to digital music production techniques. Currently, music making software is structured in a very technical manner not conducive to learning. Complicated menus, idiosyncratic functions, and highly technical options are incredibly prohibitive to young, new artists. Tone Lab is restructured to be playful and informative, teaching the basic tools of digital music production by making them into physical building blocks that users can stack up, hearing how the effects interact with one another in real time. The pieces each have graphical elements that teach real industry terms so that users can acquire useful and relevant knowledge.This service allows new users to access the creative world of digital music making, broadening creative diversity in the field."

"Stackable and modular hardware synthesizer facilitates grooving

Industrial designer Colin Hearon set out to simplify the interface and has come up with an interactive, modular synthesis device called Tone Lab where players young or old stack up components to generate layers of sound. The Tone Lab is a great looking piece of kit. Sound sequences are created by selecting and stacking tone generator components to one end of the base and then using four sliding chord units to alter what's being sounded out. Sound generators include effects like reverb and delay, sine/square/sawtooth wave oscillators and filters, arpeggiators and so on. The idea is to build up as many or as few components of a sound that you want, starting with a waveform, then adding filters and effects. Each sound block connects to another via metal prongs to the bottom left. Activating the device plays back the chosen chords in a loop, influenced by the stacked sound components. The chord discs can then be used to modify the various parameters by sliding them up or down in their given slots. Naturally, you wouldn't want your sound stack tower to get too high or it may come tumbling down, but the design looks intuitive and easy to use."
