The editor seems to be needed for some finer parameters and modes (like legato switching). Not sure if it will also save a patch. No reason not too, but you may be right it may be real old skool ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAD has some fabulous simulations of analog signal processing, and the inclusion of a nice audio interface addresses the criticism that their PCI cards were just oversized dongles. I better stop going for every $99 Kontakt library sale that comes up, my Mac Mini Server wants one of these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hogger Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 Originally Posted by scenicsquare but again, how much is this thing (not to mention the PA SPEAKERS that line six wants to sell you with it!)?

I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy Line6 speakers, so I don't see that as part of the equation. Nor is bringing one into a venue that already has sound, that's just plain irrelevant. Regarding your knock on playing in little clubs, I love playing in little clubs, been doing it for decades, and I hope I can continue doing it for several more decades. To each his own, though.

Members TechEverlasting Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 "Universal Audio's Apollo QUAD is also the world's first Thunderbolt-ready audio interface, with an expansion port that allows you to install a Thunderbolt expansion card."$2,500 and I'm "allowed" to install a Thunderbolt expansion card (price unknown)??!! There are plenty of Macs out there with Thunderbolt already installed. If UAD is going to market a "Thunderbolt" interface it should include a damn Thunderbolt port in the thing, or at least let us know how much more $$ we'll have to lay out to add it.The Apollo comes with the "Analog Classics" collection, plug-in versions of the LA-2A audio leveler, 1176LN/SE limiting amps, and Pultec's EQP-1A program EQ. Also included is the RealVerb Pro room modeler and CS-1 channel strip plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchla wil be the Chief Technology Officer of the new company. The organizational change will bring design, manufacturing, sales and marketing resources to Buchla.

Members donaldcrunk Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 another awesome oscillator from WMD: "The WMD Phase Displacement Oscillator is an analog sawtooth oscillator with sync, lin/exp fm, and at least 5 octaves of tracking. That sawtooth is run into a 12-bit digital waveshaper with four simultaneous outputs. Each output can have any waveform (see below picture), by using the Channel select push button to change channels (indicated by the LEDs being red. LEDs are green showing the amplitude/output of each channel. The PDO will cycle from around 4-5 minutes (haven't quite calculated the slowest yet), to 10kHz. Fine and Coarse knobs provide adjustment. Channels 2-4 have Phase CV inputs with bipolar attenuators and phase offset knobs. These allow for additional wave shaping by self patching, or +-360 degree (720 degrees total) of phase modulation. Any more gets rather noisy with the hardware. It's like quadrature, but the phase angle offsets are completely arbitrary. And you can have whatever waveform on any output. There is also a staircase output which compares the three phase adjustable channels and adds them together as PWM. So three steps of the summed Phase differential to the incoming sawtooth. There is also a normal SUM output of channels 1-4. Channels 1 and 4 are normalled and will be broken if plugged into the discrete outputs. Channels 2 and 3 will always go to the sum output. Will post more demos soon with better camera positioning and the scope. 10HP. Thanks very much! " the awesome new MakeNoise stuff is still not presented, and muffwiggler euro consumerists are beside themselves with the horror of it all. fun to watch.

Members donaldcrunk Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 a more sensible ipad product from behringer New from BEHRINGER, the iSTUDIO iPad Docking Station is the perfect music production tool for both home studio and live recording. So much more than just a convenient way to recharge your iPad, iSTUDIO lets you create, produce and perform music using your favorite audio gear and musical instruments. iSTUDIO also includes two phantom-powered Mic/Line inputs (one switchable for Hi-Z inputs such as electric guitar or bass, no DI required), so you can use studio-grade condenser mics for stunningly professional results.

Vitally Versatile The iSTUDIO features two combination XLR - 1/4" inputs, each with its own Gain control and switchable phantom power for use with condenser microphones. These inputs will accept analog signals from virtually any piece of audio gear including amps, mixers and external preamps.

You can also use iSTUDIO's MIDI capability to control your external keyboards, samplers, drum machines and sound modules.

Members donaldcrunk Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 our very first look at the new highly-anticipated MakeNoise modules - this is the oscillator, called DPO. not knowing the full story yet from Tony, i can nonetheless speculate that it has a lot in common with the Buchla 259e/261e as far as the routing and layout is concerned. definitely touches of his own are evident as well. everyone is crapping their pants over this. this is a delay module of sorts, a co-project of Tony from MakeNoise and Soundhack ! if you've never used a Soundhack plugin before, you really should. these are some of the few 3rd party plugins i keep in my digital tool box. and they're free. this module seems to be a reinterpretation of the excellent "+pitchdelay" plugin. check out the plugins here. posted on Muff's: "I'll be at NAMM demoing a new eurorack module at the Analog Haven booth. The module is based on my +pitchdelay plugin (in turn based on the springer tempophon). Everything CV controlled (shift, range, time, feedback, soft-freeze). There are still more details and features to iron out (working on the externally clocked delay time now). However, I can report a few specs: delay time should go out to about 1.5s, pitch shifting up 2 octaves and down 2 octaves, feedback will go to 150%, maybe more, with pitch shifting switchable in or out of the feedback path. Trying to cover a broad spectrum of sounds from lush to harsh with modulation everywhere. " we have since found out that the the 'pitch' input is tuned to 1/v per octave, making Karpluss-Strong type synthesis much simpler than on other delay types. here's some demos by Richard Devine showing some of the unusual sounds possible with a module like this: http://soundcloud.com/make-noise/set...nds-by-richard and if you poke around on the MakeNoise soundcloud, you'll notice recordings of a 'mystery module' . not sure what that is yet!
