Working in client or host mode

With 2x MIDI inputs (merged)

and multiple outputs and plenty of filtering and clock output options.

All configured via the browser and Web MIDI.

Clever stuff - should be available soon (end of the year) priced at €129"

SYNTHFEST 2019 - AMS Stands - Modular System For Almost Anything

Published on Oct 8, 2019 sonicstate

"A simple and effective idea using currently available extruded aluminium and additional mounting parts for lots of articulation on multiple axis.

Designed for Volcas, Boutiques, plus individual stands. All stands are also extensible so you can grow it as your gear grows.

You can also clamp then onto an existing X-stand as well.

Seems reasonably priced too: AMSstands.co.uk"

Published on Oct 8, 2019 sonicstate

"Shape HS-1 is a combination of a compressor/limiter and a dynamically dependent spectral enhancer. It works very well as a pseudo stereo device where it can do everything from subtle to extreme spectrally enhanced stereo spreading.

It can also be like an odd take of something almost like a transient designer or a very open sounding distortion.
We also got a look at the new Zero 1HP intelligent switcher."

"Nigel Mullaney is working composer and DiN Records artist. He's had the Korg Sigma since 1982 (it was first released in 1979), apparently it was used on the Dirty Harry soundtrack.

The Korg Sigma is mono synth with 2 tune-able synth sections, aftertouch and a joystick controlled filter. Whats not to like?"
