<p style="text-align: justify;">Two of my favourite synthesizers of all time - the Prophet VS and Korg Wavestation AD used Vector Synthesis to create evolving soundscapes by cross-fading between up to four sound sources with an onboard joystick. So when I heard legendary sound designer Rob Papen was bringing Vecto, a Vector Synthesizer, to the Reason Rack I was stoked! And you probably will be as well after hearing these patches:</p>

Listing at $799 USD, the microphone will include Rode's legendary 10 year warranty and looks like an absolute beauty in the rubberized black enclosure they introduced on last year's NT1. Check it:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/lEgRsHjoF4c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">"At first glance of the NTR you’re aware that it’s very special and unique – an intricate blend of art and science.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Designed to hang in the world’s finest recording studios and performance halls equally as well as home studio spaces, its existence is a labour of love for RØDE. Every element of the NTR, from the transformer to the ribbon element itself, has been designed and created in-house at RØDE’s headquarters in Sydney, Australia. All with the aim of crafting the finest ribbon microphone available.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sonically, the NTR is capable of reproducing unprecedented high frequency detail and accuracy, addressing common criticisms of other ribbon microphones, while opening up the possible usage scenarios considerably. This allows it to record sound sources that usually require a more sensitive microphone element."</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ByN0hDr351w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Rode is also introducing a couple of new shotgun mics perfect for capturing wildlife sounds in the field on a budget:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6A_AO0n0KRE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p> </p>Lewis.72http://www.blogger.com/profile/05805472577735146808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504254250102762036.post-69155429694103655132015-01-20T02:20:00.001-06:002015-01-20T02:27:22.272-06:00Waldorf NAMM News!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/80122231@N08/16137963059/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7467/16137963059_1f40eb2745.jpg" id="blogsy-1421742440439.2786" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="375"></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://www.waldorf-music.info">Waldorf</a><a></a> is one of the most exciting music production companies around in my book.

Along with it's siblings the 35 and the portable 15. When I was in college I had the pleasure of working with some original R.A.Moog modules and I have to admit they are worth the asking price. How much are they? A year or twos tuition. Here's the down low on the System 55:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Three years of research and design has culminated in Moog Music recommencing the manufacturing of a limited number of Moog System 55 modular synthesizers. Using all of the original documentation, as well as the original circuit board and art files, Moog engineers have hand-built true recreations of the original instruments based on their 1973 factory specifications.</p><p>Each individual module is hand-stuffed and the components are hand-soldered to circuit boards using traditional wiring methods. Each module is then finished with a photo-etched aluminum panel, and placed in its new modular instrument.</p><p>This limited reissue of the Moog System 55 modular synthesizer is built to order. Only 55 total units will be made and sold worldwide." </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/3w6qWiEx8BQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/bnC9pu65pa0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/80122231@N08/16131048470/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7465/16131048470_521f210ec7.jpg" id="blogsy-1421683487435.5076" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="336" alt=""></a></div><p> </p><p> </p>Lewis.72http://www.blogger.com/profile/05805472577735146808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504254250102762036.post-41978596299681304042015-01-07T05:28:00.001-06:002015-01-07T05:28:36.906-06:00Jimmy Cobb on Kind of Blue<p> </p><iframe width="400" height="500" frameborder="0" src="http://emp.bbc.co.uk/emp/embed/smpEmbed.html?playlist=http%3A%2F%2Fplaylists.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fmagazine-30688107A%2Fplaylist.sxml&title=Kind%20of%20Blue%3A%20The%20album%20that%20changed%20jazz&product=news&lang=en-gb"></iframe><p> Courtesy of the BBC</p>Lewis.72http://www.blogger.com/profile/05805472577735146808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504254250102762036.post-23513957236918614652014-12-19T02:38:00.001-06:002014-12-19T02:41:28.411-06:00Your next band has....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/80122231@N08/16055237495/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8617/16055237495_b7a6c08aa4.jpg" id="blogsy-1418978470953.0376" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="294"></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> Argh, and I can't even get along with the drummer in my trio!</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/B2aL6yMsDA4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p>Lewis.72http://www.blogger.com/profile/05805472577735146808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504254250102762036.post-39733873985161379232014-12-17T16:44:00.001-06:002014-12-17T16:44:41.554-06:00Beat Crush!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/80122231@N08/15426165913/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7544/15426165913_fa96f695b8.jpg" id="blogsy-1418856281961.4153" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="183" alt=""></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nucleus SoundLab has released their first Rack Extension for Reason and it is a must buy in my opinion! <a href="https://shop.propellerheads.se/product/beat-crush-12-bit-distortion/">Beat Crush</a><a></a> is a down sampling effects device that can take your tracks from the classic crunch of 12 bit samplers to 8 bit Chiptune and the absurdity of 1 bit. Being a Nucleus SoundLab product it can certainly do more than that though, the real fun comes in when you mix and match bits and invert them, creating sounds that were impossible beforehand! Beat Crush also comes with a pair of great sounding multi-mode Filters that can be set up in a multitude of ways in relation to the beat crush effect.

<p style="text-align: justify;"> I've been looking for a hardware reverb device for a few weeks and came across this fantastic video from earlier this year of Peter Dyer playing various keys thru the lush sounding Strymon Big Sky Reverberator pedal: </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> "Last week Peter Dyer (keyboardist for Aloe Blacc and Avicii) stopped by the Strymon shop and recorded several BigSky Reverberator / synth audio clips with us. He brought along some very cool synths to use alongside BigSky. Thanks Peter for hanging out with us for the day. :)"</p>
