...ich glaub', mir fallen vorher die Haare aus...

Dir bleibt aber immer noch "metal".

 

[hairmetal81]

...kannst mich dann 'Baldmetal-81' nennen...

 

[specialplant]

Rolandconnect.com, der ehemalige Roland-Countdown, wird seit einigen Wochen übrigens automatisch auf www.roland.com umgeleitet. Bin gespannt ob sich dort morgen nun kleine Integra-Ableger finden werden oder nicht. Mein Gefühl ist immer noch 'zu schön, um wahr zu sein'.

Ketron stellt laut synthzone einen neuen Arranger "SD-7" vor. Kaufen kann man ihn dann wahrscheinlich 2017, wenn es so läuft wie beim MidjPro. Aber immerhin ein Zeichen, dass es auch bei Ketron nach wie vor noch eine Produktentwicklung gibt...

Ein kleiner Tip für Key-Freaks die auf die Messe gehen.
http://www.m-pianos.com/ stellt dort erstmals aus (5.1, A28), das bekommt ihr sonst sicher nicht mehr so schnell zu sehen.

 

[gmaj7]

Anscheinend wieder nichts Neues von Yamaha.
Die Produktseite mit den Messeneuheiten zeigt zumindest keine neuen Synthesizer. Bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass wenigstens ein paar Gerüchte über den Motif-Nachfolger durchsickern....

Musikmesse 2015: Roland launches Aira Modular synth and effects

As expected, Roland has announced the Aira modular range, a new synth and effects line that's designed to "bridge the gaps between modular synthesis, live performance and computer integration."

These products aren't analogue but, thanks to their CV/Gate connectivity, they can be hooked up to other modular gear.

Topping the bill is the System-1m, a new version of Roland's System-1 synth that can be used as a Eurorack module, tabletop synth or 19-inch rackmount unit. It offers both external inputs and the aforementioned CV/Gate connections.

There are also four effects: the Torcido Modular Distortion, the Demora Modular Delay, the Scooper Modular Scatter, and the Bitrazer Modular Crusher. These can be used as tabletop or Eurorack devices, and programmed via computer, smartphone or tablet. Audio I/O and CV/Gate inputs are easily accessible on the front panels.

We'll have more on the Aira Modular range - including details regarding pricing and availability - very soon.

...ausserdem arbeitet man vollmundig scheinbar schon an einem 'System 500':


Musikmesse 2015: Roland announces development of System-500 analogue synth

As well as confirming the launch of the Aira Modular synth and effects range, Roland has also announced that it's working on a new modular analogue instrument known as the System-500.

In a statement, the company says: "Roland is also pleased to announce the development of the System-500, an all-new, fully analogue modular synthesizer based on two of the most revered electronic instruments of all time - the System-700 and System-100m. Designed exclusively for Eurorack, the System-500 delivers classic Roland sound with all the advantages and reliability of a modern instrument."

When this instrument will be available and how much it will cost remains to be seen, but we'll bring you more news as we get it.

Musikmesse 2015: Roland reveals JD-XA analogue/digital synth

Following its semi reveal at the NAMM Show, Roland has officially launched its JD-XA analogue/digital 'crossover' synth.

The big brother of the JD-Xi, this is designed to offer musicians the best of both worlds, giving them four-part analogue and four-part, 64-voice digital engines to work with.

There are also effects, a 16-track pattern sequencer and a mic input. Connectivity bases are covered by MIDI I/O, a USB audio/MIDI interface and a pair of CV/Gate outputs.

Find out more in the press release below or on the Roland website. We'll bring you price and availability details when we have them.

Roland JD-XA press release

Roland is pleased to announce the JD-XA Analog/Digital Crossover Synthesizer, an advanced new keyboard that offers a unique and powerful approach to synthesis. Equipped with fully featured analog and digital sound engines that can be used independently or interactively, the JD-XA brings together analog warmth and digital versatility in one super-creative, no-compromise instrument.

With its distinctive crossover design, the JD-XA is truly two synths in one, providing keyboardists and sound designers an incredibly flexible platform for creating any sound they can imagine. The analog and digital engines can be used side by side, or layered together for monstrous hybrid sounds. Additionally, the two engines are able to interact in many creative ways, such as routing digital sounds through the analog filters or using them as modulation sources for the Cross Mod and Ring Mod functions in the analog section.

The JD-XA's analog side features a discrete, four-part engine with true analog filters and a direct dry output. Each part has two oscillators, along with filter and amp sections and four envelopes with incredibly fast attack and response times. There are also two LFOs with super-smooth coverage from ultra-slow to ultra-fast. After building an analog sound, users can route it directly to the dry output, or send it to the onboard digital effects to shape the sound further.

On the digital side, the JD-XA is equipped with a four-part, 64-voice sound engine powered by Roland's acclaimed SuperNATURAL synthesizer technology, providing some of the most expressive and natural sounds available anywhere. The engine is compatible with the synth engine from the INTEGRA-7 sound module, a favorite of top producers, composers, and sound designers. This allows users to take advantage of the large library of custom INTEGRA-7 sounds available for free at Roland's Axial website.

The JD-XA offers an enormous amount of effects horsepower for shaping sounds. Each analog and digital part is equipped with an MFX processor that offers 67 different effect types, including high-impact processing options like Bit Crusher. The essentials are also covered via the five system effects processors, which provide reverb, delay, and master EQ plus two TFX processors with 29 effect types each.

With its comprehensive 16-track pattern sequencer, users can build songs and beats directly inside the JD-XA. There are 8 tracks for internal parts and 8 tracks for external sources, plus real-time and step recording modes for capturing parts in the method that best suits the user's style and music.

Friendly and intuitive, the JD-XA's interface is built around harnessing the potential of its remarkable sound engines. The velocity-sensitive keyboard supports aftertouch, and there are plenty of backlit sliders, knobs, and wheel controllers for direct hands-on control while creating and performing.

JD-XA owners can add an extra dimension to their sound via the synth's built-in mic input. A voice can be used as additional modulation source, controlling filter cutoff, Cross Mod, or other parameters for unique effects. With the Vocoder, users are able to sing into the mic and control the tone and pitch via sounds played on the keyboard. The mic input can be used for normal singing as well, with a high-quality reverb available as a dedicated vocal effect.

Along with standard MIDI I/O, the JD-XA features a USB audio/MIDI interface for working seamlessly with computer music software. It's also equipped with two CV/GATE outputs, making it easy to interface with popular CV/GATE instruments.

Mich hat diese Kleinigkeit sehr beeindruckt. Selten so etwas Kreatives gesehen. Die Kombination aus Sequenzer, Rackmodulen und Motoren um reale Gegenstände zur Klangerzeugung zu nutzen wie z.B. Saiten oder Trommeln.

 

[hairmetal81]

Kurzweil hat noch mehr...




...und auch für den Heimgebrauch hat man was anzubieten:




(...ich habe mir dazu sogar koreanische [] Videos angesehen... das Soundspektrum geht über den klassischen Pianobereich hinaus bis in ROMpler-Gefielde (Orgeln, Clavis, Bläser), es gibt Transpose- und eine einfache Record-Funktion, und ein eigebautes Metronom (...aber anscheinend keine Styles...)

@hairmetal81,
das sind jetzt aber keine Neuigkeiten von Kurzweil. Den Artis7 habe ich schon drei Tage zu Hause als Neuanschaffung. Im Grunde sind das alles schon herausgebrachte Geräte, sie werden halt nur noch einmal vorgestellt. All das bietet Kurzweil schon seit Wochen auf ihrer Webseite.

 

[hairmetal81]

das sind jetzt aber keine Neuigkeiten von Kurzweil.

GRRR!!!!


Schei.....!

...Schande über 'Delamar' []

 

[hairmetal81]

Liebhaber von Videospielen würden vielleicht sagen: "Level Up!"


RME 're-engineered' sich:
Das neue RME Babyface 'Pro'

 

[Blaubarsch]

Och nö, Hairmetal war schneller...
dabei kontrolliere ich Roland mehrmals am Tag ( wegen hoffentlichen fa updates)

Und ja, Roland fängt an "interessant" zu werden.

Gruß
Sebastian

Es gab den MX61 im Camouflage-Look. Oder ist das nicht neu?
