"8-bit digital synth that can be programmed with several different synth engines... In addition to the synth there are overlays for each synth engine, which are easily uploaded to the synth via the included programming cable... You can switch between the engines as you choose on your own using the provided cable and your computer. (My favorites are the Atmegadrums and Odytron.)"

"JUPITER-Xm combines classic Roland design and premium build quality with a powerful new synth engine. It faithfully recreates sought-after instruments from our long history of genre-defining sounds. And with multiple layers, loads of polyphony, and deep hands-on control, you can craft huge, spacious sounds that have as much sparkle as they have warmth and punch."

"I dynamically cut two stripes from bass synth using VC EQ.
Two bands levels of the VC EQ are modulated from inverted envelope triggered from kick drum."

Squawk Dirty / Grand Terminal - Updated Comb Filter Resonator


TheEndorphines

"A new type of filter has been added to the latest Squawk Dirty firmware - resonating comb filter. Here were are feeding the main output of Furthrrrrr generator straight to Squawk Dirty and modulating resonator’s frequency using an Airstreamer. Use this to add anything from subtle flanger fx to full on ringing, which works best when feeding noise or harmonically rich input such as a square wave into it. Hope you enjoy it!

Against The Clock: Cromby


FACTmagazine

"Against The Clock is a series where we give an artist 10 minutes in the studio and see what they come up with.

Cromby is an Irish producer based in Berlin who specialises in crafting house with a classic feel, big, bold basslines and joyous melodies, skills that have seen him release records on labels including Sulta Selects Silver Service, Feel My Bicep and Unknown To The Unknown.

In the studio, he makes music with hardware such as Korg’s Minilogue, Moog Minitaur and Novation Peak, controlled via Ableton Live and Push. In this episode, he shows us how quickly he can use it all to lay down a track.

Cromby will be launching his own label later this year, which will focus on his own productions made with the dancefloor in mind. 'I have a ton of new music that I’m excited to share,' he says."

KORG Groove by Sinevibes - multitimbral bass & drum machine


Sinevibes

KORG Groove on NTS-1


"Groove is a multitimbral bass and drum machine for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It’s the most complex and sophisticated multi engine plugin ever developed, employing a network of 14 DSP blocks that reconfigure themselves in real time. Using such immense power, Groove maps bass, drum and percussion instruments onto 7 separate keyboard zones, turning your synthesizer into a self-contained, groovebox-style sound module. Each zone provides a vast library of carefully crafted sound presets with expressive control, and includes a switch for variable trigger probability – an advanced function which can dramatically liven up bass riffs and drum patterns. Groove also has a specially designed output stage with unusually punchy dynamics – making this plugin fully production- and performance-ready.

HIGHLIGHTS

Multitimbral sound engine with 7 keyboard zones generating bass, drum and percussion instruments.
Advanced network of 14 DSP blocks that reconfigures itself in real time, capable of multiple different synthesis methods: three-operator FM, subtractive, lo-fi, and beyond.
Internal library of over 70 carefully crafted, production-ready sounds with individual expression control assignments.
Trigger probability feature that can be enabled individually per each zone.
Specially configured amplifier stage delivering punchy, high-RMS output – as if the sounds were compressed."

New Waldorf Iridium - Desktop Quantum Synth In the Works


Update4: videos, press release & new pics here.

Pics spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

Update: new pic of the front panel.

Update2: additional pics added. Price is rumored to be 1995 Euros / 2300 USD.

Update3: top two high-res pics sent my way via Soviet Space Child. Note blogger shrinks them. You can find the originals here.

It appears to be a desktop version of the Quantum minus analog filters.

"Waldorf Iridium has made the impossible possible. The mighty synth engine from Quantum is now available in a compact form. Tracing the footsteps of its bigger brother, Iridium features all the synthesis elements of Quantum as well in a rack-compatible format. The combination of the powerful engine, incredible flexibility and detailed sound shaping facilities creates sheer endless possibilities of sound. Yet, the comprehensive layout and easy-to-understand structure lets you design your own sounds in no time. Sporting a solid metal casing and the same high level of craftsmanship like Quantum, Iridium is now ready to take over studios and stages throughout the world.
Contributing another entry in Waldorf's rich history, Iridium joins the family as a direct descendant of the PPG Wave. Though, Iridium offers much more than its ancestor. Five different synthesis models are provided by Iridum for each of the three oscillators:

Wavetable
Waveform (Virtual Analog)
Particle (Sampling and Granular Sampling)
Resonator
Kernels
