Introducing NanoStudio 2 for the iPad


Published on Dec 4, 2018 BlipInteractive

"Here's a little preview of NanoStudio 2, coming to iPad very soon!

NanoStudio 2 is a powerful music production environment for recording, synthesis, sampling, arranging, editing and mixing. It’s the successor to the original NanoStudio, an app held in high regard by musicians for many years for its usability, quality and productivity.
With six years development behind it, NanoStudio 2 builds upon the same design principles that made its predecessor so popular and then takes a quantum leap with a massive range of extra features and a new audio engine delivering truly professional sound quality. Everything is optimized for CPU efficiency, so complex projects with many instruments and effects are handled with ease.

This is a complete in-the-box solution to production, enabling you to develop your initial musical ideas right through to a final master with an intuitive workflow carefully designed to get things done.

NanoStudio 2 is a fully featured host for external Audio Unit (AUv3) instruments and audio/MIDI effects. A library of all your AU instruments and presets is maintained so they’re in one place – tagged, searchable and just as accessible as NanoStudio’s own internal instruments.
For composing and arranging there are powerful fully featured editors for songs, MIDI parts, automation and samples. All editors share a clean and consistent user interface which means you’ll be up to speed with them in no time.

Main features:

Making ambient music using only the Moog Grandmother synth


Published on Dec 4, 2018 once upon a synth

"Making an ambient song from scratch using only one synth (Moog Grandmother). I try to keep things very minimal and sparse and resist my urge to add melodies and chords 😂. The music is composed to some mountain pixel art I made the other day. #onesynthchallenge

Get the song on Spotify/iTunes/etc: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cit...

Brian Eno coined the term 'ambient music' and I'd definitely recommend listening to his "Music for Airports" album for a good example of ambient music."

2hp Div - Dual clock divider & multiplier with CV control for Eurorack


Published on Dec 4, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here we have the 2hp Div clock divider and multiplier for Eurorack systems. It's 2hp as you'd expect and can divide or multiply an incoming clock (I push it with some audio in the video good for chi-tune glitchy digital like tones) by 12, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 16. There's CV over the two channels allowing for a range of shifting polymetric, polyrhythmic or ratcheting/bursting rhythmic patterns. Good fun when driving sequencers as well as percussive patches"

Squarp Pyramid Videos by Gemini Horror

Playlist:

1. Gemini Horror presents: Midi Delay — Pyramid sequencer
Gemini Horror showcases the midi delay with a Korg Volca FM and a MicroKorg.

MIDI delay creates a copy of entered notes, simulating a standard delay effect, but using velocity midi data:
- TIME is the amount of time between the original notes and the delayed notes.
- REPEATS is the number of delayed notes.
- GAIN changes the MIDI velocity of each delayed note. The velocity of the delayed notes will be gradually decreased or increased.
- DRY/WET changes the midi velocity of all notes (if 0%, you will only hear the original notes, if 50%, you will hear both the original notes and the delayed notes, if 100%, you will only hear the delayed notes).
2. Gemini Horror presents: Generative Music — Pyramid sequencer
3. Gemini Horror presents: Euclidean Rhythms — Pyramid sequencer
4. Gemini Horror presents: Tape Loop — Pyramid sequencer
5. Gemini Horror presents: CV Outputs — Pyramid sequencer

New Dtronics DT-01 Controller for the Roland Boutique D-05, D-50, & D-550


A knob box for your Roland D-05, D-50, & D-550. On a personal note, I recently picked up a D-05 and was thinking about selling it due to the deep menu diving. That and there is no central editing per patch. The D-05 and D-50 are kind of like four synths in one - two "Partials" with an "Upper" and "Lower" voice each for a total of four sources that you edit independently. There is no central filter, no central envelopes, etc., so you are stuck menu diving to edit each part. Think of it like each oscillator having it's own full set of synth parameters - powerful, but a true pain to edit.  Yes you can get the hang of it, but there is no way to avoid the number of additional steps it takes to get to parameters.  This controller appears to solve that problem. It comes in at 299 euro which currently equates to about 339 USD. For those on a budget, Coffeeshopped makes an editor for Patch Base on the iPad.
