Roland JD-XA // Factory Presets // BANK A
Testing the presets of brandnew ROLAND JD-XA. BANK A.
Using arpeggios and preset sequences if there are any preprogrammed. Tweaking occasionally. JD-XA does not contain any drum kits as its smaller and cheaper sibling is providing. If there are any drums to be heard they’re mostly programmed from scratch with the internal sound engines — both digital and analog.

Sound Design 101: Diego Stocco’s Creative Sound Design by Diego Stocco
Video 13 of 20 for Sound Design 101: Diego Stocco’s Creative Sound Design
This three part course starts out with a collection of tutorials that explore rhythmic processing. Here, Diego shows you how to create a complete percussion ensemble from a single recording of guitar strings being struck with sticks. The audio processing chain that he’s designed is a signal flow masterpiece. Its like he creates something out of nothing. Its truly magical.
Next, Diego takes you on a convolution journey. Here is where you learn how to create unusual and stunning impulse responses that become resonant models that you can use to further modify and convolve regular audio into morphed, spectrally sublime versions of the originals. This is not to be missed!
Part 3 of this course teaches you how to creatively capture, modify and perform sound in ways that open up your imagination like no other recording course anywhere. With his inventive microphone and acoustical recording techniques Diego, like a hi-tech, sonic surgeon, microscopically inserts microphones into places where sounds are born to capture their very audio essence. Watch and see how these close-up, molecular stereo miking techniques and acoustic processing strategies reveal audio landscapes and percussion sounds that cannot be produced any other way.
Want to be sonically inspired? Watch this course!

Roland System-500 Analog Modules by Malekko – Final Production Prototypes
This is an uncut, rough video of an event I attended earlier today which was the world premier of the final production prototypes of the Roland System-500 eurorack analog modules, made by Malekko Heavy Industry in Portland Oregon. The presentation is by the creator himself, Joshua Holly of Malekko. It’s an almost 30 minute video from a bad angle and I wasn’t able to get a direct audio feed, but it still sounds pretty good and has lot’s of good info regarding these modules (they’re nicer than I expected, to be honest.) The folks at MuffWiggler shot much better video which I’m sure they will post shortly over on their own site…

Vintage Synth Bass – new collection of bass sounds records from synthesizers like the Arp 2600, Juno 60, and Korg MS20
Industrial Strength Samples has released Vintage Synth Bass, a collection of bass sounds records from synthesizers like the Arp 2600, Juno 60, and Korg MS20.
Industrial Strength Samples is back with another dynamite production pack. We went in the studio and sampled some of our favorite Bass sounds from our vast synth collection. So get ready,
Our design team went on a mission to create a serious collection of classic bass sounds used in electronic music over the last few decades. Knowing that these rare synths are out of reach to many people due to cost and availability, this pack can be an essential tool for anyone looking to capture the real vintage analog bass sounds used in classic traxx.
This serious studio weapon delivers 20 bass instruments meticulously recorded in 24 bit Wav audio, each sound has been tweaked and key grouped for ease of use while using our bass sounds. We also tossed in the Midi files from the demo so you can easily use the baselines in the demo with no fuss.
The sample pack is available from Loopmasters for £12.95 GBP.
Analog kit for iPad – Demo
AnalogKit lets you play, share, and build synths and effects in an incredible digital playground.
WARNING: iOS 7 users are encouraged to wait until we post an update fixing a bug that appears to only affect iOS 7.
A music hacker’s paradise, Analogkit is designed to be enjoyed by both seasoned synth aficionados and curious cable-wranglers. Whether you’re into built-from-scratch effects pedals, synths, vocoders or even DIY games, AnalogKit allows you to build nearly anything you can dream of.
• Piece together controls, effects and signal generators into any gear you can imagine.
• 50+ included core components that can be combined to create endless possibilities of sounds.
• Share your creations with the community via the built-in Swap Meet, or browse, live-preview, and download gear built by other users.
• Compatible with many external audio interfaces so you can run AnalogKit as an effects board for mics, guitars, and other analog instruments.
• Full USB, Bluetooth, and WiFi MIDI support to let you use your favorite external controllers
• Advanced optimization algorithms enable you to run tens of thousands of basic modules in real-time on a modern iPad.
• State of the art anti-aliased oscillators provide the most authentic sound sources digital synthesis can offer.
• All the favorite toys from modular analog synths as well as digit logic components so you can build all the hybrid franken-synths your hardware modular friends could only dream of.
Under the hood, AnalogKit is anything but a toy. The process of putting things together with Analogkit is nothing less than an exploration of digital audio creation that’s both revealing and powerful.
Like a supercharged electronics project kit, Analogkit lets you combine and wire things up in any way you want, rather than having to settle for adjusting settings on existing gear. Depending on what components you choose, it can be both a trippy generative app that’s easy to lose hours with, or nimble and precise tool for building custom setups quickly.
Analogkit takes full advantage of its digital nature and lets you literally hook anything into anything, chain together as many of a thing as you like, and finally experiment like a kid again …a kid that happens to have the best audio toy to come to the iPad yet.
