BPB 64 includes 30 presets, covering bass sounds, pads, leads, and the inevitable fast-paced arpeggios that make the SID chip so legendary. All sounds were captured raw, directly from the SID chip, so you're getting the same infamous grit and lo-fi crunch that you'd get if you hooked up a C64 directly to your audio interface."

"Per la prima volta in assoluto, Grp Synhesizer presenta Grp A1
Il sintetizzatore monofonico Grp A1 può essere utilizzato come uno strumento indipendente oppure si possono filtrare segnali esterni attraverso il circuito risonante Low Pass 18dB VCF.
La presenza di tre segnali interni (VCO, SUB e NOISE) garantisce potenza timbrica e facilità d'uso. Con i due oscillatori a bassa frequenza - LFO (il primo integra un Sample & Hold S&H) e il generatore di inviluppo ADSR, è possibile avere comportamenti di modulazione ciclici o transitori.
Lo strumento può essere alimentato tramite un cavo USB di tipo C collegato a qualsiasi alimentatore USB da 2,5A.
A1 può anche essere estratto dal suo cabinet per essere facilmente installato in qualsiasi sistema modulare Eurorack alimentandolo utilizzando i normali cavi piatti forniti con i sistemi Eurorack

"For the first time ever, Grp Synhesizer presents Grp A1
The Grp A1 monophonic synthesizer can be used as a standalone instrument or external signals can be filtered through the Low Pass 18dB VCF resonant circuit.
The presence of three internal signals (VCO, SUB and NOISE) guarantees tonal power and ease of use. With the two low-frequency oscillators - LFO (the first integrates a Sample & Hold S&H) and the ADSR envelope generator, it is possible to have cyclical or transient modulation behaviors.
The instrument can be powered via a USB Type-C cable connected to any 2.5A USB power supply.
A1 can also be extracted from its cabinet to be easily installed in any Eurorack modular system by powering it using the normal flat cables supplied with Eurorack systems

UNBOXING long awaited ARTURIA MINIFREAK.
Firin up, playing and tweaking this wonderful machine
for the first with no manual all. MicroFreak knowledge helps a
lot but still: Layout is a bit different and there are more
functions.... So the performance is not as smooth as
coulld be :-)

"Arturia's Pigments 4 synthesizer plug-in is now at version 4. The instrument has been well received since its first release and is Arturia's first original software instrument. Version 4 adds a few new features but leaves the main instrument. If it ain't broken, why change too much?
Pigments remains a tasty and versatile instrument available as a free update to existing users, and currently on sale at €99 from €199 at time of posting.
Editor Nick takes a look.
