Nice demo of the vintage clone soft synt – 76 Synthesizer

U-HE announces public beta of their new Diva Synthesizer
U-HE, makers of many popular soft synths like the ACE and Zebra 2, have released a public beta for their latest synthesizers Diva.
The oscillators, filters and envelopes closely model components found in some of the great monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers of yesteryear. Modules can be mixed and matched so you can build hybrids, but what sets DIVA apart is the sheer authenticity of the analogue sound. This comes at the cost of quite a high CPU-hit, but we think it was worth it: Diva is the first native software synth that applies methods from industrial circuit emulators (search for “PSpice”) in realtime! Especially the behaviour of our zero-delay-feedback filters, when pushed to the limit, demonstrates the advantages of this groundbreaking approach.
The beta version works without restriction until December 31st. Become an early adopter, play an active role in development as we nurture this baby to perfection over the next few weeks…

New virtual A 303 Clone for Ableton
analogfactory says that ‘Black, fast and toxic’ is the best description for the rackmounted monophonic true analog MAM MB33 synthesizer which was released in the 1990’s. Black Mamba is a replica of this little synth combined with the powerful Instrument Racks of Ableton Live.
Originally released as a TB303 clone by German company MAM (Music and More), the MB33 had a true analogue single VCO with two basic waveforms – square and saw. analogfactory say that, as the MB33 had the possibility of morphing those waveforms, it was able to create more tones than the TB303.
Black Mamba has been chromatically sampled in 24bit/96khz with high-end Apogee A/D converters and, besides the two basic waveforms, analogfactory has sampled 9 further waveforms using the morph possibilities of the VCO.

Geo Synthesizer Tutorial by Rudess
The Geo Synthesizer was recently released on the App store and in this video Jordan Rudess takes you through the basics:
In this first Geo Tutorial, I show how you can quickly and easily sample something in SampleWiz and move it to Geo Synthesizer! Here is the direct link. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geo-synthesizer/id465224352?mt=8&uo=4
About the synth:
Geo Synthesizer is a musical instrument and MIDI controller. A collaboration of Wizdom Music’s Jordan Rudess and Kevin Chartier (MorphWiz, SampleWiz) and Rob Fielding (Mugician), Geo Synthesizer is an incredibly expressive musical instrument specifically created for a multitouch surface.
A comprehensive Geo Synthesizer manual is available at: http://www.wizdommusic.com/GeoSynth/manual.html
Jordan says: “Since touching a preliminary piano keyboard on an iPhone screen and realizing the amazing potential for musical expression on a multitouch device, I have been inspired to create next-generation musical instruments for iOS. Geo Synthesizer is a dream come true in many ways. It is the fastest truly playable iOS instrument that I have put my hands on to date. I can fly through the range of an instrument while expanding on the kind of advanced pitch control we introduced in MorphWiz. As someone who grew up with synthesizers, I can tell you that pitch bending has never been this good!
“Geo features many of my custom sounds and in addition, Geo is also a MIDI controller, so you can use it with any external midi instrument or virtual MIDI. Virtual MIDI allows you to control an app running in the background on the same device! A great feature of Geo is that internally and externally we send independent voices on each note played, so as an example, you can pitch bend one note and not the other, or add unique expression on every note! I can’t wait to see the YouTube videos of all of you guys rocking out with Geo Synthesizer!!!”
Features:
– ability to load waveforms from SampleWiz presets
– octave rounding for effortless soloing over large ranges
– whammy slider with absolute and relative modes
– 12ET, 24ET, 53ET, and 665ET temperament options
– mono, string, and full-polyphony modes
– tuning and transposition controls
– snap speed control to affect how quickly the instrument pulls notes in tune
– playing surface options for number of rows and columns on screen
– octave and fifth harmonics synthesis options to rich, organ-like sounds
– gain control to add distortion to the sound
– FM and touch FM controls for timbal variation
– mono out for use with guitar amps
– sine, sawtooth, square, and custom (SampleWiz) wave options
– attack and release controls
– synthesis body control
– lowpass filter with resonance
– stereo delay
– reverb
– MIDI output with polyphonic note bending and multiple configuration options to allow compatibility with a wide range of hardware and software synthesizers
– performance menu lets you make your own custom menu so all the controls you need are always right at your fingertips
– 40 presets carefully selected by Jordan Rudess, including patches from Jordan’s personal sound library

Extensive coverage of Alchemy Mobile
Demo of the Alchemy Mobile App by camel audio using the Cinematic library sounds. Played on the Novation Impulse 25 controller keyboard.
And here are all the details:
Alchemy Mobile includes everything from evolving soundscapes and fat basses to lush pads and pulsing arpeggios, and is available for free from the iTunes App store. This is the iOS version of Camel Audio’s award-winning Mac/PC Alchemy synth – the leading sample manipulation synthesizer which can be heard on thousands of records and films by world-class artists. Touch Remote for Alchemy on Mac/PC
With the Pro Upgrade ($19.99/€15.99/£13.99), you can remotely control Alchemy or the free Alchemy Player on your desktop computer. This is the first iPhone App to offer a dedicated touch remote feature for a desktop synth! Easy one touch access to the remix pad and preset selection means you’ll spend more time getting inspired and less time reaching for your mouse.
Create Your Own Sounds with the Remix Pad
Discover an almost limitless palette of sounds using the unique remix pad to morph between sound variations. 16 controls including cutoff, resonance, ADSR and effects parameters are specially selected for each preset to make tweaking sounds to fit your music easier than ever.
External MIDI or Built In Keyboard
The Alchemy Mobile interface was designed with ease of use in mind. You can play the mini keyboard built into the app, which features scalable key size and one touch major and minor keys so even the clumsiest fingers can play along with friends. You can also plug in an external Core MIDI keyboard.
Copy/Paste and Loop Player
Using Alchemy with other apps like NanoStudio and Garageband is easy, thanks to the included loop player. Simply paste a loop from your sequencer into Alchemy Player, hit record, and play in your killer bass part, and then paste the resulting loop back into the sequencer. Alchemy Player is the first iPhone app to feature exposé, which makes switching between pages a breeze.
Most Powerful Synthesis Engine on iOS
Want to know why Alchemy Mobile has such amazing sounds which can change so drastically with a tap of the remix pad? The performance controls and remix pad are linked to the most powerful synthesis engine on iOS, which allows you to morph and change the sound in radical ways not possible with any other synth. Alchemy’s VA synth, sampler and granular and additive resynthesis, combined with almost unlimited modulation sources, effects and a flexible arpeggiator are used to power this expressive way of creating new sounds for your music.
Expandable with Sound Libraries
The free version of Alchemy Mobile includes 25 sounds, with a further 25 available when you register for free with Camel Audio. You can expand Alchemy Mobile with a wide range of sound libraries such as BigTone, Cinematic and Arp Dimensions from world class sound designers. The libraries each contain 50 sounds (400 variations) and are available as in-app purchases for $4.99/€3.99/£2.99.
