The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation has introduced a new poster, celebrating 50 years of the ARP Odyssey synthesizer.
The poster is designed for the Foundation by Oli Freke, author of Synth Evolution. The poster features Freke’s illustration of the Odyssey, along with milestones in the synth’s history.
Oli Freke is a London-based musician, artist and author who has had a life-long passion for analog synthesizers and electronic music. He has spent twenty years in the music industry, variously supporting the Human League on tour with his electro band Cassette Electrik, writing music for television and seeing success with dance tracks, which placed in the UK club charts.
In the last few years, he’s published Synthesizer Evolution, an illustrated book that celebrates the impact of synths on music and culture, and created the Synth Evolution posters, that show the evolution of synths through hundreds of illustrations.
The ARP Odyssey prints are poster sized 18 x 24, and printed using the Giclee process on archival matte paper, suitable for framing.
The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to preserving the legacy of inventor, musician, entrepreneur and engineer Alan R. Pearlman.
Spectrasonics has introduced a new feature for its Omnisphere, Keyscape and Trilian software synths, Flow Capture, that promises to help you capture musical inspiration when you’re “in the flow”.
In the video, founder Eric Persing demonstrates the new feature, which makes it easy to grab spontaneous musical moments from these software instruments as audio, MIDI and sound formats simultaneously.
“As much as we all love spontaneously exploring new musical ideas, you can often lose that magic of inspiration by having to go through the technical processes needed to set up to record it,” says Persing. “With Flow Capture, we created a feature that gives Spectrasonics users the shortest path from inspiration to recording. This new feature is the fastest way to record an idea with your Spectrasonics instruments and we are thrilled to offer this useful tool as a free update to all current Omnisphere, Keyscape and Trilian users.”
Best of all, it’s a free update for all Omnisphere 2, Keyscape and Trilian users.
Standalone Flow Capture Update Special Features:
Simultaneous recording of Audio, MIDI and Sound Settings
Sound settings files include all sound modifications, including imported user audio
Autonaming and timestamping of files
Tempo control with adjustable Metronome
Tap Tempo can be MIDI Learned (footswitch, CCs, etc) for live performance synchronization
Flow Capture is available now as a free update for all Keyscape, Trilian and Omnisphere 2 users via the Smart Update system. Current users can simply use the “Get Updates” feature on your instrument’s splash page.
