OBERHEIM MATRIX-1000 / MATRIX-6 Analog Synthesizer | DEMO | NEW PATCHES
Synthesizer demo of the OBERHEIM MATRIX-1000 (1988) and MATRIX-6/R (1986). What you actually hear in this demo is a single Matrix-6R, but the Matrix-1000 has the same sound engine, it sounds the same. My Oberheims are in original state with the original firmware.
In this movie I play my own sounds – on some sounds I used a little amount of reverb from a Lexicon MPX-500 or a delay effect from a Korg SDD-3000 (right channel only), but no further effects. Drums and bass sequencing by Akai MPC 1000 (but no multitrack recordings, no eq, no compression).
The Oberheim Matrix-1000 and Matrix-6/R produce a a high quality analog synthesizer sound and have a huge sound potential. 2 oscillators per voice, 24 dB lowpass filters, modulation of filters by oscillator (similar to Micromoog, SCI Prophets or even Six-Trak, here called FM), osc. sync, 2 VCAs, 3 envelopes, 2 ramp generators, 2 LFOs – and the best of all – MATRIX MODULATION. A lot of parameters can be assigned to each other.
The Oberheim Matrix-1000 is a single rack version of the Matrix-6 and can be edited via MIDI sysex.

Roland Juno-60 vs. Juno-106 Vintage Analog Synthesizer
Vintage synthesizer demo featuring two Roland JUNOs
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi
Roland Juno-60 (1982) vs. Roland Juno-106 (1984) Analog Synthesizer with identical sound programs.
This video shows the different sound character. The Juno-60 sounds more raw like the JP-8 and the chorus is deeper.
The Juno-106 sounds more like the JX-8P but with more bass fundament and the chorus is not so deep.
both are great synths and I love both a lot.
New iPad app: Fugue Machine – Bach in a box
Fugue Machine is a tool inspired by composition techniques used in classical music, from Baroque to Serialism and Minimalism. The developer’s goal was to create a tool that lets you manipulate a melody’s speed, direction, and pitch, as well as play multiple variations of the melody simultaneously.
Fugue Machine implements this by reimagining one of the basic elements of music sequencers: the piano roll.
The Multi-Playhead Piano Roll
Alexandernaut calls Fugue machine ‘the world’s first multi-playhead piano roll’.
It lets you create a musical sequence and play it back with up to four playheads at once — with control over each playback head’s speed, direction, and pitch.
FUGUE MACHINE for iPad, the world’s first multi-playhead music sequencer.

New touchplate keyboard from Future Retro
Future Retro shared this teaser pic of a new touchplate keyboard that they are working on – the FR-512.
It’s a combination MIDI & CV controller, so it should be capable of controlling just about any synth.
Details on the FR-512 are still to be announced
Moog: Primitive Industry | Max Ravitz | Mother-32
* Patch performed live * No overdubs *
Utilizing a trio of Mother-32 semi-modular synthesizers, hardware-techno producer Max Ravitz (aka Patricia) constructs a pure, simple, yet driving electronic cadence anchored by an organic analog pulse. In this patch, all three Mother-32 synthesizers exist as a closed ecosystem, each running independent patterns from their respective 32 step sequencers and communicating via control voltage through each unit’s corresponding 1/8″ patch bay.

The final album from Visage
Visage are set to release their 5th and final studio album on the 6th November 2015. The new album will be entitled “Demons to Diamonds” a name chosen by the family of the late Steve Strange. The album artwork has been done by Boy George and will feature the studio songs that Steve Strange was working on with Visage prior to his death in February 2015.
The album is launched to coincide with the inaugural ‘Steve Strange’ New Romantic music festival in Porthcawl, Wales on October 31st. All royalties from the album will be donated to the newly formed ‘Steve Strange Statue’ fund “which will establish a permanent and lasting memorial to Steve Strange and his musical, style and fashion legacies” so the band says.
The albums holds material Steve Strange and Visage began working in spring 2014. It is the follow up album to the 2013 “Hearts and Knives” album. Over 15 songs were written during that time and the band had recorded just over half when Steve died on February 12th 2015. The band completed the album later on. The album features contributions by Mick Macneil (Simple Minds) and Didier ‘Space’ Marouani (“Magic Fly”). The album also features a cover version of the David Bowie song “Loving The Alien”.
A limited edition vinyl only single containing a extended remix of “Lost in Static” and a brand new track is available now from Control Room Recordings.

Audio Evolution Mobile 4 – new major update to the Android DAW
eXtream Software Development has released Audio Evolution Mobile 4, a major update to its Android DAW.
Version 4 contains many enhancements in the MIDI/instrument area including a drum pattern editor and easier workflow for working with instruments.
To offer a wide range of quality instruments, eXtream Software Development partnered with Digital Sound Factory to license original sounds from several E-MU rack synthesizers (Orbit, Planet Phatt, Xtreme Lead), the Native Instruments Kontakt Keyboards collection and 5 professionally recorded drum kits. These are available as in-app purchases.
Changes in Audio Evolution Mobile 4
- Drum pattern editor: create drum tracks with ease.
- New instrument selection screen with pre-listen facility: tap on an instrument to hear it or play your USB MIDI keyboard while changing between sounds.
- Instrument selection screen now also features an option to purchase new soundfont packs: we have officially licensed instruments from Digital Sound Factory, including original sounds from several E-MU rack synthesizers like the Orbit, Planet Phatt and Xtreme Lead and from the Native Instruments Kontakt Keyboards collection. We also have 5 professionally sampled drum kits for different music styles (jazz, funk, rock, etc.).
- Soundfonts use a lot less memory: only the data from used presets are loaded into memory.
- New status screen showing connection status of USB audio and MIDI devices graphically.
- Instrument tracks now feature an audio bus. This means you can now apply insert effects, output audio from instrument tracks to a bus etc., just like a regular audio track.
- Instruments can now be selected from a new button in the mixer channel strip. Pressing the MIDI keyboard part of the button is the same as arming the track, popping up the virtual keyboard.
- Added preference option to disable scrolling of the display during playback.
- Added preference option to select the recording file type (wav/flac/ogg).
- Added option ‘Merge all clips’ to MIDI track menu.
- Added option ‘Track options…’ to audio and MIDI clip menu so that there is no need to find an empty spot on a track to trigger the track menu.
- ‘Ask to fit clip’ after leaving the piano roll editor now quantizes the clip to a whole bar.
- Piano roll editor now defaults to a more usable zoom level.
- The path where soundfonts are loaded from can now be set in the preferences.
- When importing a broadcast wav file, the app will ask if you want to use the embedded offset information or not.
- Recordings are now split at nearly 2GB instead of 1GB.
- Added quantize to MIDI clip menu.
- You can now use the green time marker to scroll the display (so you don’t need to switch to Scroll mode in some situations).
- You can now make changes (draw/remove/move) while playing a loop in the piano roll editor.
- Creating a new MIDI clip by tap-and-slide on the time line now quantizes to whole bars for ease of use.
- Added a ‘Visit forum’ option to the Help menu.
- After changing sample rates, the start and end times of MIDI clips changed. Solved.
- Quantizing triplets was incorrect. Solved.
- Loop button was not always displayed in the piano roll editor, even when there was enough space. Solved.
- Using the virtual keyboard during recording could cause more latency than during monitoring. Solved.
Audio Evolution Mobile is available for purchase for 5.99 EUR.
