video upload by SONICWARE

"SmplTrek | Portable Production Sampler. Anytime anywhere, create and stream your music!
All vocals: Mayowa (GEIEI Co.,Ltd.) Mayowa / マヨワ"


Details via Kickstarter:

Easy Sampling

You can easily sample record any sounds with the built-in microphone, your microphone or electric guitar connected to the input, or even a USB-connected smartphone or PC/Mac.

You can even sample record applying an insert effect. For example, your electric guitar can be added to Distortion or your vocal to Compressor.

Sampled sounds can be quickly assigned to pads with auto-slicing, and can also be edited manually in detail by viewing the waveform display.

Sampled sounds can also be easily matched to the tempo and key of your song.

You can also resample a sequenced phrase of sampled sounds including applied effects.

Flexible Song-making

Each song project has 16 sequential parts called "Scenes". Each Scene has 10 sequencer tracks which can behave in different ways, as described below:

Loop Track: Sequencer for a looping sample

Shots Track: Sequencer for a single one-shot sample

Drum Track: Step sequencer for drums

Instrument Track: Piano roll type sequencer for musical instruments

MIDI Track: Piano roll type sequencer for external MIDI equipment

Three additional Global Audio Tracks are available for longer recordings like vocals and external instruments. These tracks can record multiple takes which can be spliced into a final perfect version. Traditional "punch-in" style recording is also supported.

Easily structure a full song by sequencing scenes and setting how many times they repeat before moving to the next scene. You can set the order of scenes via copy and paste, or record scene order in real time with the scene buttons.

Automation can be recorded and edited for all parameters, including the Mixer.

A song can be mixed down through mastering effects before being exported to a single audio file.

Effortless Music Streaming

You can stream your music in perfect quality with a single USB cable, without any driver installation or troublesome menu settings.

You can livestream your voice and performance in real time while playing along with your song. And they can be controlled with crossfading and mixing with effects.

Massive Sample Libraries

More than 500 high-quality sample sounds and over 100 drums kits are included internally, so you can start creating a songs right away, even if it's your first time.

30 internal DSP effects can be used simultaneously as the insert, send, and master effects.

Samples you record are stored to the SD card. In USB storage mode you can download your recordings, or import new samples from your PC/Mac.

Versatile Connectivity

The SmplTrek can connect to a wide range of audio sources such as, dynamic microphones, electric guitars/bass, synthesizers, and even USB audio sources from PC/MACs or smartphones.

The SmplTrek can output audio via two analog outputs, or digitally via USB for live streaming and direct DAW recording.

It can also synchronize its tempo with other devices using MIDI or audio sync.

You can find additional details at the SmplTrek Kickstarter.

PPG - Polyphonic Pressure Generator for Voltage Modular (Hardware Demo)


video upload by Cherry Audio

"This is a quick demonstration of the Polyphonic Pressure Generator from @Tim Shoebridge of Soundmangling.com for Voltage Modular. Voltage Modular is generally regarded as a software modular system, but Tim has been creating some fantastic modules that extend it to hardware. VM runs standalone or in a DAW, and with the PPG module and a regular keyboard controller, you have all you need to transmit polyphonic aftertouch messages to Poly AT compatible synthesizers, hardware or software.

In monophonic channel aftertouch, applying pressure to any key within a chord will apply modulation to all notes currently held. With polyphonic aftertouch, modulation can be applied on a per-note basis, allowing for more expressive performances.

In this demo, the Roland JUPITER-X has a keybed that provides basic monophonic channel pressure aftertouch. But the synth engine itself actually supports receipt of polyphonic aftertouch messages and plays them accordingly. Usually, this would require an external controller like a CME XKey or the Hydrasynth to exploit the Poly AT of the JUPITER-X (or Xm).

PPG can be used to create the same expressive experience with any standard controller, and any synth that receives Poly AT (like Sequential's Prophet 6 and OB-6). This brief demo shows the difference between channel pressure on the JUPITER-X, and then polyphonic aftertouch with PPG and a simple Launchkey Mini. In this case, PPG is configured with a velocity threshold so that any notes played at or above a certain velocity get the modulation envelope applied to them. The other notes are unaffected.

For a more extensive explanation and demonstration, see Tim's PPG video [below] and get more details on this and other great hardware-oriented modules at his Soundmangling.com website at https://www.soundmangling.com/modules..."

New Centrevillage C Quencer MINI Eurorack Module


demo video upload by centrevillage



The MINI version of the "C Quencer". There is also a C Quencer DLX module.

"C Quencer is a unique interactive Rythm and Melody generator.

It combines a Euclidian Rythm generator with a Quantizer based Sequencer and two WaveTable oscillators.

It generates rhythm using a formula created by The Greek philosopher and mathematician Euclid.

The idea behind his formula is to try to distribute rhythmic pulses as evenly as possible on a timeline.

Euclid's algorithm is ideally suited for generating a large family of complex rhythms. The second feature that makes the C Quencer unique is its way of generating melodies and timbre."

Akai AX60 Split Ambient Performance with Circuit Tracks


video upload by Tum Tum

"I ended up having a busy day which means this video is just one camera angle, no overdubs, and the same four chords. I think this track would work better about 10% slower and with some sort of B section, but I had no time to try it that day. It’s nice that the Akai AX60 has a syncable arpeggiator and a bi-timbral key-split mode. It’s clearly designed with performance in mind, if you couldn’t tell from all the panel controls.
