Beware!! The new Toxic Biohazard is here (v4)
Toxic Biohazard is the 4th generation in the line of Toxic synthesizers. Toxic Bio distills the best features from the previous 3 versions to deliver our most concentrated Toxic ever. Beware!
Toxic Biohazard features a hybrid synthesis engine, combining the best of FM and Subtractive synthesis. With the addition of a warm, analog-modeled filter and set of built-in effects, the Toxic concept remains one of convenience, simplicity, and superb sound quality.
What’s new?
- Improved sound quality
- “Physical Envelopes” that allow you to model how sounds in real world decay & resonate etc…
- Integrated effects such as tube-like distortion, to warm stereo delay, reverb, flanger, and phaser.
- A hybrid synth engine combining FM and subtractive synthesis
- A complete rebuilt FM engine adding warmth
- Alias-free oscillators with low CPU consumptom
- An integrated simple sequencer (64 steps, which can be divided into two independent, 32 step modules to allow double-polyphonic patterns. Using our own “Smart Sequencer” technology, when a chord is played, the module defines that chord, and tunes the pattern accordingly.)

Nice review of Ableton Live 7 in MacMusic
It’s hard to believe, but Live 7 is already there. The miracle software from Berlin-based Company Ableton, both a tracker and a sequencer at the same time, is constantly evolving: we were just beginning to control Live 6 and its numerous new features when its follower arrived, of course filled with improvements and surprises. Throughout this article we’ll try to see, apart from describing the new functions, if Live 7 fills the gaps left by the previous version, what it brings and what it removes from our music, on stage and in the studio.
Version 7 Renews the Core of Live
 |
Enhanced Audio EngineLive 7’s enhanced audio engine improves fidelity with precision 64-bit summing at all mix points throughout the program, POW-r dithering, optimized sample-rate conversion and other advances. |
 |
SidechainingFully integrated side-chaining capability is available for the new Compressor as well as Gate and Auto Filter. |  |
 |
Device High-Quality ModesOperator, Dynamic Tube and Saturator now feature optional High-Quality modes for anti-aliased processing, reducing typical “digital” artifacts. |
 |
EQ Eight—New and ImprovedEQ Eight sports an improved user interface and a new 64-bit mode for increased accuracy and fidelity. | |
 |
Introducing SpectrumThe new Spectrum device is an analyzer that provides real-time visual feedback for any audio signals within Live (and it looks really cool!). | |
 |
Improved MIDI TimingThe MIDI engine has been reworked, and we were able to significantly reduce timing error (jitter) of recorded MIDI. |
My new EBM bass favourite VST :-D
Also used by Nitzer Ebb this VST really does the job
EGOkILLER uses a double-dose Phase Distortion Oscillator in place of the standard oscillator/filter set-up. It is a very powerful form of synthesis first seen in Casio’s CZ synths in the ’80’s. The PD Oscillators have a very full sound that gives this synth great character. It is designed for EBM/Industrial music but is versatile enough to be used anywhere.
EGOkILLERversion2 is the first of the Version 2 synths. Like the original it is based on a single Phase Distortion Oscillator. The new version features a dual High Pass – Low Pass filter set-up with resonance, as well as graphical envelopes for both modulation and VCA. The LFO is new and extra flexibility has been added to modulation routings. It also includes really fat Unison and an enhanced overdrive.
And make sure to look out for the new one, scheduled to be released soon
GODkILLERversion2 is a versatile V/A synth, laid out in a similar manner to EGOkILLERv2. It improves on the original with two oscillators with sync and Hard Sync. The mixable Low-pass and Band Reject Filters are carried over from the original. It also has two graphical ADSR envelopes and a comprehensive LFO featuring 16 different waveforms. Overdrive and LFO destinations can be controlled by a Modulation Wheel on a MIDI keyboard controller.

Super Mario Flash based synth and the EYE4U

and of course Super Mario
Reason 4 special in Computer Music – free refill :-)
If you have seen it or bought it already don´t miss out on this limited edition from CM covering the gross part of Reason 4, good tutorials and quite a decent exclusive refill I msut say. There are some nice effects in the Loopmaster’s refill.
This is what CM writes on their cover issue:
Reason 4: The Unofficial Guide
The long-awaited follow-up to our sellout Expert Guide to Reason has hit the newsstands in the UK and Europe. It’s called Reason 4: The Unofficial Guide – here’s a look at what’s inside:
Step-by-step guides to using Reason 4’s brand new features. Learn how to improve your workflow with the completely revamped sequencer, make mighty sounds with Thor, create impressive musical riffs with RPG-8, and inject your tracks with groove with the ReGroove Mixer.
Studio Sessions projects take you step-by-step through the process of composing, mixing and remixing a complete track. Learn how to get quality results from your setup that’ll stand up to the best commercial tracks out there.
Masterclasses. Revisit some old favourites with this section of tutorials. Customise your setup with the Combinator, get down to some intricate drum programming with Dr.Rex, explore the many possibilities of CV routing, and get experimental making a granular synthesis patch. Also demonstrated is a pain-free procedure for incorporating vocals or other audio parts into your Reason compositions.
On the CD are two exclusive Reason 4 ReFills lovingly compiled by the sonic wizards at Loopmasters and TrackTeam Audio. More than 500 patches, samples, groove templates and Thor Combi’s are featured, covering a wide variety of uses and genres, from vocals, d’n’b, hip hop and dubstep to ethnic, house, jazz, trance and more.
No NAMM without Moog :-)
Old School…, nothing I would choose at this point and definately not on my top 5 wish list, but of course if someone would offer it to me for a good discount, perhaps the cute girl in the picture…
…the new synth with the analog sound engine of the Voyager, but without the digital controls. The perfect solution for players looking for a road-worthy replacement for their venerable Minimoog Model D, a full-featured centerpiece for their modular synth rig or just craving direct, hands-on connection to their creativity!

It also made me come to think of this old ad on eBay:
“Synth was made in 80’s years in USSR. It is soviet version of the famous Minimoog synth. Synthesizer has very original ‘transformer’ design with removing main operation panel. Synth looks very industrial and military, like the soviet secret weapon. Aelita is fat sounding synth with quite unique sound due to original soviet analog circuitry and electronic components.”
Could not have writed better, new friend. The Aelita is a 3-oscillator monosynth with independently detunable oscillators, a 24 dB/Octave Moog ladder filter, dual ADS envelopes and an LFO with triangle, square, saw and ramp waveforms. There’s no weak westernized MIDI or decadent capitalist on-board microprocessor to store patches. You’ll have to do it the Soviet way: By hand.

A friend of mine on facebook sent me this link today and I thought I just had to share with all of you.
It is really funny
