Supernatural engine explained:
Unlike a conventional PCM synth, you also avoid issues like sample looping and phase issues. Vince DaLuca, Product Manager, Keyboards for Roland US, explains the concept:
What happens when a keyboardist is trying to reproduce sounds other than a traditional keyboard instrument on the synthesizer? This is where synthesizers today really fall short because the typical sound engine inside cannot truly “interpret” an expressive keyboard performance done on keys into an authentic guitar, trumpet, or violin performance – a guitarist plucks or strums strings, a trumpet player uses his breath, lips and trumpet valves, and a violinist plucks or uses a bow on strings. All the keyboardist can do is trigger a static digital sonic picture of sound he is trying to recreate, and each time a key is pressed, the same sonic picture is repeated, but at different pitches as played on the keyboard.
The Jupiter-80 solves this problem by using Roland’s newly developed Behavior Modeling technology. It takes care of the “interpretation” by constantly analyzing the keyboardist normal, natural keyboard performance, and instructs the ultra-realistic SuperNATURAL sound engines inside the Jupiter-80 to “play” and constantly “articulate” the reproduced sound just as the “real” performer would based on the keyboardists timing and interval between notes, the strength at which the various keys are struck, or if the keyboardist is pressing a pedal to sustain notes. These actions, among others available to the keyboardist, are translated by the behavior model for the selected sound being reproduced into an authentic plucked or strummed performance in the case of a guitar, aggressive or smooth bowing in the case of a violin, and the sharp or smooth pitch changes created by the valves on a trumpet and the pressure of the trumpet player’s breath. These are but a few of the articulations possible with Behavior Modeling.
Yamaha Tyros4

Background info from Yamaha:
Powered by the latest sound technologies, including Super Articulation, the Tyros4 has a wealth of amazingly authentic and naturally expressive Voices. The sound is so real—right down to the performance techniques—it truly makes your playing come alive!
Extraordinarily expressive, realistic sound
Pich-Bend Image Super Articulation Voices give you a level of expressive realism you’ve never experienced before in a keyboard. The Choir Voices sound remarkably human and respond expressively to your control, while wind and brass instruments feature natural legato and staccato expression and let you easily use performance effects such as vibrato, pitch bend and glissando.
Wealth of Voices and effects
The Tyros4 provides 993 dynamic, realistic Voices, giving you instant access to virtually every instrument in the real world. In addition to the Super Articulation Voices, Live!, Cool! and Sweet! Voice categories feature exceptionally realistic acoustic and electronic instrument sounds. Special Mega Voices deliver enhanced realism and expression in Song data and MIDI recording applications. Moreover, there’s an Organ Flutes section that lets you use the nine panel sliders to instantly adjust the individual flute footages. And for the final touch, a comprehensive set of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) effects let you enhance the sound in a variety of ways (with reverb, chorus or EQ).
Powerful, pro-quality accompaniment
With the huge set of 500 built-in dynamic Styles, the Tyros4 puts a full professional-sounding backing band at your disposal. The Styles of the Tyros4 have been vastly enhanced with new Super Articulation Voices, and made even more powerful with DSP effect processing. Guitar parts respond accurately to your chord changes with remarkable realism, and human voice sounds can also be played with unprecedented expressiveness.
There are many other performance tools and features to inspire your creativity as well. Multi Pads let you play in real time a wide selection one-shot phrases and special loops—which can automatically sync to the Styles. The convenient Music Finder feature lets you call up ideal Style and Voice setups for the particular type of music you want to play. Moreover, One Touch Setting presets with four specially programmed settings for each Style let you reconfigure the Tyros4 with the proper Voices and effects, for playing in that style of music, while the Registration Memory feature gives you eight pads for instant, total recall of your favorite panel settings.
APPLE GarageBand for iPad – demo
GarageBand turns your iPad into a collection of Touch Instruments and a full-featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go. Use Multi-Touch gestures to play pianos, organs, guitars, drums, and basses on your iPad. They sound and play like their counterparts, but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument.
vst-effect-mm-fx11-filtshiftrev demo
this is a demo of the free vst effect mm fx 11 filtshitrev by MASCHINENMUSIK.
the signal ( a vocal sample ) is divided in 3 band and every band is processed seperately. the fx goes from subtle athmosphere to weird rooms and pitch shifted
echoes.
this vst effect is free and can be downloaded from the MASCHINENMUSIK website.
Novation Slicer DJ Controller

Musikmesse 2011 will be published this new DJ controller. Probably this will be called Novation slicer and work for Serato, Traktor and Itch.
Ableton – Jomox T-resonator demo
Tiny demo done in Ableton Live with a very minimal sound… just fooling around nothing serious. Of course it’s only a static image as all those crappy videos out there…
No animal was harmed during this session.
Sonigen – virtual modular synth
Sonigen Modular is a modular software synthesizer which offers you the freedom and flexibility of classic modular synthesis with high quality sound and efficient cpu usage. Sonigen is fully modular, you can add as many modules and patch cables as you want.
A fast and intuitive user interface. Layout is mostly automatic, cables indicate signal flow, and our (unique as far as I know) dynamic input handling reduces the need for extra mixer modules, and also reduces screen wastage from unused input terminals / knobs.
Modular voice and modular output effect processing both cleanly integrated in one window. Everything is processed at full sample rate so there is no need to differentiate between audio signals and control signals. This makes it easier to use and also more flexible.
System Requirements:
Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7
X86 CPU with SSE1 (Pentium 3 and AthlonXP upwards).

~The 4 horiontal steps from the Z8000 sequencer are going through Synthesizers.com Quantizers to 4x Q106 VCOs, then a Mattson Mixer & filter to create chords. The 16 step vertical Z8000 steps are receiving a rotated & skipped clock from the 4MS multiplier & going to a COTK quantier to 2 BlackJack VCOs, then to the STG Mankato filter. The Blacet Binary Zone is sending divided clock to my MFOS rotary sequencer which is sending CV to the MOTM e340 generating clouds to the EHX memory boy delay
