SuperBooth 2021 is set to go ahead as a physical event for the first time since 2019, taking place this September from the 15^th-18^th at FEZ-Berlin.

Following last year’s cancellation, the Berlin-based synth exhibition and trade show returns with a Safety First Edition. The event will be running at reduced capacity and located across four stages, adding two new venues, the Fuchsbau and the Finnhütten, where techno label and nightclub Tresor will be hosting a stage.

A host of manufacturers will be represented at the exhibition, including Korg, Moog, Novation, Sequential and Arturia. The program features a variety of workshops, presentations, and talks, on top of concerts from the Modular Synthesizer Ensemble, Pole and Yann Tiersen, who will be premiering his new album, “Kerber”.

Those unable to attend in person will be able to live-stream a number of talks, concerts and presentations remotely.

Swiss-based music software company Samplab has introduced Samplab, a plugin that lets you edit and rearrange pitches in polyphonic audio samples.

Could the power of AI give you Melodyne-style editing for nothing?

Here’s what the developers say about the plugin:

“When you drag and drop an audio file into the plugin, it is sent to our server for processing. Once this is completed, you recieve the result with all the notes in the audio separated. In order to edit the notes, we generate a MIDI file that you can drag into the Samplab track.

From now on, the plugin acts like a virtual instrument: It gets the MIDI events as input from your DAW and plays the (edited) notes. If you don’t make any changes to the MIDI, the result should sound the same as the original audio. Of course, you can also just use the MIDI file for other things.”

Yesteryear, the idea that you could one day be able to edit the individual notes in a polyphonic audio sample seemed like a pipedream. Then Melodyne Direct Note Access technology came along, providing exactly that kind of functionality. Now, thanks to the power of AI, Samplab puts this functionality into a free plugin.

Though it is not as sophisticated as Melodyne, but the Samplab demo is still very impressive.

Import a sample into one of your DAW’s audio tracks, open the plugin on a MIDI track and then drag the sample into it. The individual notes are then displayed in your piano roll ready for editing.

As processing is done on the Samplab server, therefore, it requires an internet connection to work. Samplab is currently limited to editing samples with a maximum of 127 notes. Though only short samples can be separated, but the developers say that they are working on adding support for longer audio files.

Samplab runs in VST/AU formats on Windows and Mac, and is available now as a free download from the Samplab website.

Just a few weeks since it was confirmed that the Rhodes brand is now under new ownership, it looks like the fledgling company is almost ready to show its first electric piano.

Word has it that the new Rhodes has been in development for two years at an R&D facility in Leeds, and Dan Goldman, the new Rhodes Chief Product Officer (not to mention demon Rhodes player) is doing nothing to dampen expectations.

“Compared to the old pianos it’s got all the vibe and soul, but everything that wasn’t precisely built has been precisely built and with massive detail,” he says.

“I think it’s the ultimate collision of the vintage world and the modern world. I think what we’ve achieved in the last two years is going to blow people’s minds.”

Forget digital emulations – this looks like the real deal. Anticipation-building photos indicate that this is very much a real Rhodes rather than a digital emulation of some kind, with the vintage look of the classic EPs of yesteryear.

This would make total sense as there is no point buying a brand like Rhodes and then not trading on its heritage but, it will be interesting to see if anything new has been added to the formula.

Our sources indicate that we have to wait for weeks rather than months before the big reveal. You can sign up for direct updates on the Rhodes website.
