Powerful dedicated effects processing is available for live recording, mixing, and mastering, including BOSS GT-Series professional guitar effects and effects designed for vocal processing.
The JUNO-Gi also functions as a USB audio/MIDI interface, making it the perfect companion for computer music production. Users can record JUNO-Gi sounds and play software instruments in any DAW, and also record vocals and guitars while using the JUNO-Gi’s onboard effects. In addition, the JUNO-Gi comes bundled with Cakewalk’s award-winning SONAR 8.5 LE software, giving users a complete DAW solution for their PC.
Have you ever been frustrated with the low audio quality you get when doing microcontroller audio stuff? Don’t get me wrong, the 1-bit groovebox has its place, as do all the fun 8-bit nintendo sounds; but what about a nice clean reverb? or sinewave generator? The MICrODEC is 16-bit, 44.1kHz, stereo, and can be anything from a guitar effects box to a nice piece of test equipment. With plenty of ins, outs, and what-have-yous, it can be converted into whatever your heart desires. Run MIDI into it and make a monophonic synthesizer, or use the 6 seconds of sample time to capture found sounds for a pseudo-convolver.
The MICrODEC has a high quality front end which can take microphones, guitars, or line level, and an output stage which can drive headphones (although we recommend the TLC074 opamp upgrade for this). It comes pre-programmed with 16 functions, from reverb and delays, to VCOs and pitch shifters. With the optional laser etched case, it makes a road-worthy addition to any musician’s arsenal.
Price: MICrODEC is available to purchase in a Basic Kit (board w/ smt + through-hole parts) for USD 129.00. Additional parts are available from the MICrODEC online store.
The Kurzweil PC3 series keyboards introduced some major developments in synthesizer technology, with their anti-aliasing VA oscillators, improved KB3 mode, amazing sound sets, 16 independent riffs and arpeggiators, powerful song and QA modes, sampling, unparalleled MIDI control, and more. If you’re a long-time Kurzweil fan, however, you may have missed those wonderful sample libraries you’ve built up over the years. The PC3K8 changes everything! This revolutionary new keyboard combines all of the hard-hitting PC3 features, plus K 2/25/26 series .K file sample library compatibility, which opens the door to some of the greatest sound sets ever created.
With the PC3K8, you can combine more than a decade and a half of K2000 and K2500 legacy sample libraries with the PC3′s super-powerful Dynamic V.A.S.T. synthesis engine, for exploring the uncharted possibilities of sound development. The potential power of the PC3K8 is simply incredible, and 88 PC3X-style fully weighted keys make it a blast to play. It even offers more excellent new features, including a USB host port that lets you plug in standard USB thumb drives so that you can quickly store and retrieve data, as well as load OS updates.
One further development that the PC3K8 offers you is 128MB of nonvolatile user-sample memory. Made possible by a breakthrough in sample flash technology, this nonvolatile user memory adds a new level of stability to the PC3K8. Not only does this new sample flash memory allow the PC3K8 to retain user samples after a power cycle, but it also powers back on with zero sample load time. Whether you’re a Broadway performer, a working musician, a composer, or even a hobbyist, if you’re looking for the very best performance sounds from a super-stable keyboard, you’ll find it with the Kurzweil PC3K8!
Pulsation Lite allows you to explore pulse wave synthesis in a simple and easy to use manner, included are tuning, pulse width, effects and modulation options to further shape the sounds, although limited to pulse wave synthesis you can create a wide range of sounds and it is free so give it a try and see if you find it useful.
Version 1.2.2 of Jasuto Pro modular synthesizer is now available for iOS, Android, Windows VST and Mac OS X VST & AU. The plug-ins are currently free, but they are also limited to a single instance and all the host control modules are disabled.
Changes in v1.2.2 iDevices and Android:
Zoomable/slidable Scale module, basically lets you define scales and play them with a keyboard.
The sequencer supports odd loop lengths, independent rates (up to 64x the tempo.), and trigger resets now.
Transposing of sequencers now scale properly.
Fixed the .wav case sensitivity issue.
Fourier transform modules (FFT, iFFT, Band, Bands) for some spectral fun. Check out the new Spectral category which contains a Vocoder example.
Recording/Resampling now only listens to the selected Speaker modules, if nothing is selected then it records everything (just like the current default behavior).
Fixed a browser tabbing issue that would popup after saving a scene.
Much better sounding Noise module.
Sonoma AudioCopy/Paste 1.1.
Sequences/Motion now start on the initial note on loading.
Fixed a bunch of number editor bugs, and yes, you can now enter 0.
You can now disable motion smoothing on nodes when dragging them around in the scene. The option can be found in the Motion menu under Smooth.
Replaced the screensaver with something a little less arbitrary, a spectrogram.
Many other minor bugs.
Android specific changes:
Audio recording from the mic.
Help and About buttons now work.
Splash screen should display on all device now.
Jasuto is a modular synthesizer for the iPhone, Mac OS X and Windows. It is flexible in terms of synthesis techniques – you can achieve additive, subtractive, FM/PM/AM and even hard-sync synthesis all pretty easily.
performance, built-in eight-track digital recorder with 64 virtual tracks, and easy integration with many digital audio workstations through its built-in audio interface.
