JUPITER Synth Legends – Introduction
Roland is proud to introduce JUPITER Synth Legends, a series of free sound libraries for the JUPITER-80 and JUPITER-50 synthesizers. Featuring all-new Tones, Live Sets, and Arpeggio patterns, the collection uses the powerful and flexible SuperNATURAL sound engine to capture the essence of a number of historical synths. We’ve fully maximized the Live Set architecture and multi-effects capabilities of the modern JUPITERs, layering and processing the classic sound emulations to create a huge library of “dream patches” comprised of the most legendary synths ever produced.

Analog Synthesizer SX-150 Mark II
http://www.thinkgeek.com/ed85?cpg=yt
Hotblack Desiato, Figrin D’an, some members of the Hong Kong Cavaliers – all these folks have one thing in common: the love of analog synthesizers. Sure the tech might have been a little different long, long ago or far in the future, but the principles of wave generation and alteration has been a staple of electronic music ever since, well, it was invented. And now you can leap into the electronic dance party with your very own Analog Synthesizer SX-150 Mark II.
The Analog Synthesizer SX-150 Mark II is quite an advanced little synth. With ten controllable parameters, line in and out, and a four octave range, you’re gonna love it. The Analog Synthesizer SX-150 Mark II uses an electrode stylus to play tones, and you can even overlay a keyboard to play exact notes (see link below). We want to write more for you, but we need to go jam now. With our Analog Synthesizer SX-150 Mark II, that is.
For some additional info on how this synth works click here. It’s an instruction manual for the previous version of the SX-150, but it still has some awesome info at the bottom.
Also, for a printable keyboard overlay (it goes between the screws) click here. Just stick in place and tune up a note and you’re ready to go.

Old Busted Granny Piano and Tuned Micro now available for Reason 6
Soundiron has announced the arrival of their first two ReFill Packs for Reason. They tell us that they’ve worked with Propellerhead to carefully optimize and redesign their Old Busted Granny Piano and Tuned Micro libraries specifically for the Reason 6 platform, with Combinator and NN-XT presets that truly capture the playability and advanced control functionality that people have come to love with these popular instruments.
A spokesperson told SBC, “While ReFills and Kontakt presets have very different capabilities and strengths overall, you’ll find many of the same familiar UI features, a variety of matching presets, stylized artwork and the same great sound. And don’t worry, we’ll be adding new offerings to our Reason catalog as time goes on to expand the selection for our Reason users. And existing customers of the Kontakt versions of these libraries are eligible to receive low cost cross-grades to the Reason version.”
Here’s Soundiron’s description of the new ReFill packs…
Tuned Micro Reason ReFill Edition
Tuned Micro is a compact yet powerful multi-instrument collection focuses on a variety of our unique stringed and tuned percussion instruments. We took a dozen of the popular instruments found in our Stringed and Tuned Percussion Bundles for Kontakt and selected a core set of samples from each that offer a good introduction to the signature style, flavor, tone and quality you can expect from our full libraries. You’ll find a useful variety of bamboo log drums, wooden box drums, plucked zithers, prepared piano, steel bells, music box, PVC tube drums, wine glasses, kalimba/mbira, toy glockenspiel, waterharp and a modified twine-strung cello.
We’ve designed a dual-layer mix control for each instrument category preset that allows you to create custom blends with selected layered pairs from the 20 different articulations. Each preset comes with dual layer volumes, attack, release gating, filter, Echo, Reverb and other shaping and special FX parameter controls that can be automated and changed in real-time, allowing truly unique sonic possibilities.
Granny Piano Reason ReFill Edition
The Old Busted Granny Piano is a unique instrument that goes way back with us. This classic beat-up, worn-down, rickety upright piano is just the kind of faded old beauty that your grandmother had collecting dust and creepy porcelain dolls in her living room when you were a kid. With a watery and faded tone, wobbly hammers and a few broken strings, you’ll hear and feel every creak and groan as it plays. Clearly, the years have not been kind to her looks or her voice, but her soul truly has aged like a fine wine. This old girl has heart, so give her a whirl.
We’ve included plenty of Combinator patches that feature front panel controls to easily reshape the action and tone right at your fingertips, with note attack to simulate pad-like sounds, note release, release sample volume and the volume of the pedal sound effect that plays when you use the sustain pedal. We also included a couple of nifty reverb effects and an awesome “Grahammy” mode which makes Granny sound like she’s coming out of an old phonograph, complete with vinyl record pops. We also included a selection of ambiences we call Geriatrocities – various sustaining pads and evolving drones derived from the source.
Pricing and Availability:
You can download each for $29. Existing owners of the Kontakt version of each library can order the Reason ReFill Edition as an add-on for only $9. All ReFill Editions require Reason version 6.0.2 or later.

Listen to Douglas McCarthy’s (Nitzer Ebb) new solo album
This is what Douglas’ new album will sound like, sort of more electronic pop type music than EBM or Nitzer Ebb type of style, the producer is Mark Bell.
The album is called “kill your friends”, and reminds a lot of System700 or at least Roland sounds with dynamics
