Understanding Logic Pro Automapping with Novation controllers
In this video tutorial, Novation product specialist Brandon Carroll stops by Dubspot to explain and demonstrate creative production possibilities with Novation 25 SL MkII MIDI Keyboard Controller and Logic Pro. Brandon starts by showing you how to setup the 25 SL, which comes with Automap Pro, and gives you complete control over your production software. He further shows you how to enable touch-sensitive knobs and faders and utilize the X and Y modulation and drum pads, sort through patches, access plug-in instruments and effects and create a track with chord progression and groove.
Easy Synthing: Novation K-Station
Background information: Some random synthesis on the K-Station. No vocoders or elaborate patches. Just some LFO routing, sync, filter env, delay, reverb, distortion… It’s capable of much much more… but as you know these video’s are all about simple synthesis on various synthesizers…
Cool little synth, allmost every paramter has it’s own knob (a lot of similarities with the Nova and Supernova) … you shouldn’t pay any more then €250-300 for it. I bought mine for €150 (without adapter). This synth is small enough to actual take it with you… I’m gigging with this too… no batteries – so no synthing on the train or bus…
The vocoder is – I think – better than the one on the Microkorg. Less clipping. There are less parameters to adjust though… I’ll have a go at a video showing this later…
I also make actual tracks with these synths I’m demoing… Go have a look at http://www.soundcloud.com/alienrobotdance – look for me on facebook – or have a look at my weblog at http://alienrobotdance.wordpress.com

Novation coming to the iPad
GearJunkies shared this picture, which might be a fake, speculating that the V-Station HD is on the way:
Is Novation taking the plunge in the app market with a V-Station (HD) app? It seems legit as the V-Station was the VSTi version of their hardware K-Station. So with the popularity of the iPad as an instrument (and the improved midi capabilities) it makes sense that the V-Station would be the synth to recreate as an app.
Guess we will find out next week at MusikMesse

Black Eyed Peas – secrets on stage
Black Eyed Peas Musical Director Printz Board takes us on a secret tour of his keyboard lair onstage during BEP’s 2010 E.N.D. Tour. He discusses keyboard setup (including a Novation, Moog, Roland Juno-G, and Yamaha Motif), mixer, stereo monitors, bass amp, trumpet, and all of the extra bells and whistles. He’s got a talk-back mic to communicate to Eric Harris during the show, the monitor engineers, or the whole crew in their in-ears. He also has a little TV screen that shows him any angle of the stage, and he can alert whomever necessary about potential problems, so that each cue happens at the right time and the show goes smoothly from song to song.
