Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard: Brass Patch
The Poly Evolver Keyboard excels at producing immense brass patches. I’d say it’s one of its strongest sounds. This lumbering improvisation uses one such example, and I intend others of this type to follow.
The dynamic changes are created with the modulation wheel, which opens the filter. If the tone is a tad buzzy, it may be because I trimmed off a bit of the bottom end with the high pass filter.

Reverb from Lexicon MX300
Performed live and recorded directly to CD.

Video:
iPhone 5 app called 8mm captured the really cool imagery and upon processing the video for editing using Avid Media Composer the jumpy effect and strange 16×9 conversion occurred.

Korg x911 analogue monster
The Korg X-911 is a very underestimated synth. What it was intended to be, was a stand alone guitar synthesizer. What it now represents, in these enlightened times, is an all analog, quite unique, signal processor/effects unit. Whereas a true guitar synth really requires its own dedicated pickup arrangement, this unit simply accepts a standard 1/4″ jack input. Just patch your guitar, microphone, or other instrument into the X-911 and play one note at a time. Sporting both CV/Trigger inputs AND outputs, these features alone, make it quite a useful little toy.
The front panel is divided conveniently into semi-preset traditional sounds, called “Instrument”, and more adventurous sounds with the nomenclature “Synthe”. The Instrument sounds are named Electric Bass, Tuba, Trumpet, Dist. Guitar, Violin and Flute. The Synthe sounds are designated as graphical waveform icons (Pulse, Ramp, Square). Every voicing has adjustable parameters, with most of the Instrument sounds having a filter control, bar the Violin, which has an envelope control. The Synthe sounds all have envelope controls, namely Attack and Decay.
The two sections may be overlaid or used separately, with control via the central balance slider. Many features such as Portamento, Interval, Hold etc. are foot switchable via inputs on the front panel. Naturally, the all important Voltage Controlled Filter is in residence, as is a Portamento control. Velocity Response/Touch Sensitivity is controlled by a 3 way switch. All in all, this unit is ideal for those Soundmeisters seeking to distance themselves from the all too common sameness of the modern digital era.
Background video description:
I’ve noticed that there ain’t many demos of this rare enough guitar synth used as an actual synth. This is just one live take sequenced with a korg sq1 with the aid of a light kick from an acid lab Miami. Barely scratching the surface of what this thing can do… Will upload a more in depth clip at a later stage. Thinking about selling so if interested get in touch

Waldorf’s Attack Drums synthesizer is here
Attack Drums is a synthesizer designed mainly for drum sounds, but the powerful sound engine can also be used for everything else – including vocals. Based on the Waldorf Attack VST PlugIn from 2001, it consists of a 24-part sound engine, now packed with a pattern sequencer and a versatile effects section.
One highlight of the effects section is the new Phrase Vocoder, a vocoder that uses written text instead of spoken words. Lyrics in – song out, adjust gender as you have always wanted!
Just like Waldorf Nave, Attack Drums is a seriously in-depth musical instrument – easy and fun to use, but a a sonic beast at its core!

Korvpressor – new “hotdog” adaptive compressor / limiter designed
Klevgränd Produktion has released Korvpressor, an adaptive compressor / limiter designed to be transparent and very easy to use. It comes in three versions:
- iPad (IAA & Audiobus compatible).
- Audio Unit (Mac).
- VST/VST3 (Mac/Windows).
Klevgränd say they put a lot of effort in to making their interfaces minimal and simple. Instead of just removing elements from the current standard, it can sometimes be necessary to rethink the whole concept from the ground. Korvpressor is an example of that, as it has a unique way of visualizing and interacting with a dynamic compressor. The idea is to make the audio feel more “physical”, something to grab and shape with your finger (or cursor, if on a desktop).
Despite its simple interface, Korvpressor has a sophisticated set of algorithms, developed together with engineers from KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) in Stockholm. The compression algorithm was designed with transparency in mind, and Korvpressor will sound great on almost any kind of sound; all from a vocal track to a full blown mix. If you push it even harder, it gives a nice squeezing effect.
Until June 30, 2015, there’s a intro price on all versions:
