Yamaha Karma 3.0
KARMA Motif debuts the new KARMA 3.0 technology with a host of new features, including eight-track design (six KARMA Modules and two Keyboard Layers) per Performance, per-track Volume and Mute stored in each of the 32 Scenes and the ability to individually adjust the mix of all parts in each Scene.
“This exciting new collaboration brings the power of KARMA to a completely new user base using the great sounds and features of the Yamaha Motif series,” said Kay.
KARMA Motif’s Performances use the Motif’s Song/Mixing mode, where each of the 64 songs is a complete KARMA algorithmic music groove with a left hand and right hand zone for controlling KARMA and soloing on top of it. The Motif’s arps are also integrated in many performances as additional elements that can be added via the 16 Chord Triggers. While in Song Mode, players are just one step away from recording their KARMA-created musical performances into the Motif’s sequencer, or the output can be routed to any DAW for external sequencing. Furthermore, a KARMA Performance can call up any Motif Voice, Performance, Song, Pattern, or Master slot when loading, so that KARMA can be used in any of the Motif’s modes.

New sampling toy keyboards of the 80’s like the ones produced by Casio and Yamaha
Sir Sampleton is a sampling keyboard, which means it can record sounds through the microphone that you can then play on a keyboard. If you want the sound of bagpipes or bells, then just use Sampleton to sample some bagpipes or bells. Or if you want more unique sounds, you can make samples with your own voice or noisy objects you find around the house.
Sir Sampleton is inspired by sampling toy keyboards of the 80’s like the ones produced by Casio and Yamaha. These classic keyboards were great toys, but are now expensive because they are sought after by professional musicians for their warm, low-fi sound and simple operation. Now, it’s possible to have similar sound and functionality in an app, plus the features that you wish the old keyboards had, like the ability to save samples.
FEATURES:
◊ Sample through the microphone and then play your samples on the dual keyboards
◊ Save and recall your samples
◊ Add rhythm with the built-in beats and random beat generator
◊ Tweak advanced sound settings such as vibrato, note trail length, and sample time
◊ Put one sample on each keyboard in dual-sample mode”
The Yamaha StageMix
Yamaha has released version 1.1 of M7CL StageMix, an iPad app for controlling the M7CL digital mixing console.
StageMix provides remote control of M7CL functions via a simple, intuitive graphical interface from anywhere within wireless range.
The software has been specifically designed to allow engineers to adjust monitor mixes from the performers’ positions on stage, directly controlling mix parameters via the iPad rather than having to rely on verbal directions to a second engineer.
Changes in M7CL StageMix v1.1
- Changed image handling when memory is low to prevent crashing.
- Improved horizontal pinching responsiveness for Q adjustments.
- Added confirmation dialog for Delete Mixer function.
- Improved synchronization time after Scene Memory Recalls.
M7CL StageMix is available as a free download from the iTunes App Store.
