Tonelab shared this sneak preview of a new analog synth that features motorized knobs for robotic patch control, debuting at the 2022 NAMM Show.
This new synth, from Melbourne, Australia, uses motorized knobs – a new approach to handling patch memory with analog synths.
The motorized knobs promise to address a problem shared by classic analog synths, knockoffs and many reissues – lack of patch memory. Early analog synths used analog pots and physical switches to control patch parameters, which meant that patch memory was impractical. Modern synth designs generally use encoders, meaning that the knob and switch settings can be saved and recalled.
No details have been announced for the new synth, except that it is a 12-voice polyphonic analog synth design with motorized knobs.
ASM Hydrasynth Flora Sound Pack features Ambient, Techno and Electronica Presets
Limbic Bits has introduced Flora, a new collection of presets for the ASM Hydrasynth line of synthesizers.
Flora sound pack features 70 patches that the developers say are suited to Ambient, Electronica, Techno, and other electronic music styles.
What they say about it:
“Without any doubts, Flora has a strong focus on cinematic atmospheres and deep pads. But you’ll also get lots of powerful bass sounds and complex leads with it. If you’re producing dub techno or ambient, you can choose from several typical dub chords and stabs.
Over 3300 modulation routings and extensive controller assignments
Every one of the 70 Hydrasynth patches makes heavy use of the modulation matrix resulting in a total of over 3300 modulation routings. Using the macro controllers, you get access to several parameters at once: Easily reshape the character of a tone completely in no time, example morph a lead sound into a pad. Every assignment has been chosen for each patch individually. This way the results are always useful in a musical context.
Also, every patch feature parameter assignments to the most important live performance controllers such as modulation wheel, velocity, and aftertouch.”
Features:
13 Pads & Textures
10 Rhythmic Pads
12 Leads
10 Basses
10 Arpeggios
3 SFX
12 Dub Chords & Stabs
Over 3300 modulation routings in total
Compatible with Hydrasynth Keyboard, Hydrasynth Desktop, Hydrasynth Deluxe, and Explorer
Ambisonic Interpolation has introduced Electrom, a collection 38 drum kits for the Korg Electribe SX.
The project includes 38 kits with patterns, based on well-known drum machines, plus 2 extra patterns using samples from mixed kits.
The project also includes 95 extra samples, consisting of single cycle sine, triangle, saw down, saw up and PWM waveforms, plus a selection of 62 additional waveforms.
