Demo of the Akai MPC-60, MFB Synth II, and EMW WCS-1
Background information:
Here is a demo of the Akai MPC-60 Sampler/Sequencer, MFB Synth II Analog Synth, and EMW WCS-1 Analog Synth. The drums/sequencing were done by my MPC-60; the drums were sampled on the MPC using my Roland TR-808 as a sound source. The bassline is the EMW WCS-1 and the MFB Synth II is the sequenced melody. Both are sequenced by the MPC-60. The delay/echo effect is a really old Washburn analog delay. The mixer is an Alto AMX-220.
There is lots of cross-talk/hiss/noise in this recording. I personally like this, and I fully understand how I would go about eliminating this. But I would never want to.
Slate Digital has released Virtual Tape Machines
Slate Digital has released Virtual Tape Machines tape emulation plug-in. It is designed to add the big, fat, warm, deep, rich, sound of Analog Tape Machines to DAW mixes.
To capture the sound of tape is to capture a living, breathing sound that dynamically reacts to the music going on to it. Slate Digital has utilized their electrical engineering resources as a foundation for a comprehensive study of the physical processes that occur when recording to analog tape through a tape machine.
Two industry-standard machines were precisely modeled including a 2 inch 16 track from NRG Recording, and a ½ inch 2 track machine from Howie Weinberg Mastering. The VTM is designed to give mixes an authentic analog vibe with dimension, fatness, depth, and warmth.
Features:
- Two tape machine types:
- 2″ 16 track.
- 1/2″ mastering deck.
- Two tape formulations.
- Two speeds: 15 ips and 30 ips.
- Noise reduction control and auto mute.
- Wow & Flutter control.
- Bass alignment control.
- Normal, Low & High Bias settings.
- Level Calibration.
- VU ballistics.
- Grouping control.
- Settings global or per channel.
- Tape reels start and stop in sync with DAW transport.
Price: $249 ($199 with customer loyalty voucher).
Formats: 32- / 64-bit Windows and Mac OS X; VST, AU and RTAS.

Video of Retronyms’ Drum Deranger for Miselu
Background data:
We finally had a chance to sit down with John-Paul Walton (co-founder of Retronyms) to have him showcase the early version of the XOX Drum Deranger. This video doesn’t include all the final features and polish yet, but can provide you an idea of the final product that Retronyms is building for the neiro. It is only the first device they are bringing to the neiro with much more to come.
