A couple of words about coming soon ideas

Hey, it’s been ages since last actual activity of the project. But anyway, I don’t lose anything by having this blog. I’ve just bought Roland MKS-50. And as a lot of classic machines it’s got own quite unique sound. My experience with sound producing shows me that a lot of outstanding sounds are done with unique FX proccessing. After releasing QM Radio 2.0, I’m going to create something interesting in FX proccessing. I’ve got some working prototypes I did ages ago. And I’m going to move on with that as well.

Happy New Year

It’s kinda easy to wish you Heavy New Year or Happy New Fear nowadays but still I hope all of us are full of ideas and energy to keep things going. I’m putting out a lossless wavs of Quantum Radio bank 1. Then will be bank 2, and then I’ll sit to construct something more serious than Quantum Radio ensemble. Seriously, want something done – do it yourself. It’s gonna be long way, baby… Anyway, Happy Holidays dudes!

Total recall

 

Hi. Taking my blog and ideas out of the conservation. I remeber I was never happy with the default Reaktor’s skin for the controlls, and there was no choice except doing my own one. Now there are tons of packs. Some time ago I found SUK’s blog, and then I thought – I’m gonna back to Reaktor. Just a fresh feeling I was need. See you soon.

I’m not dead I swear!

Many of you might think I’m dead just like the blog, but it’s not that as it seems. There were many of reasons this blog got frozen, many of these still are. But hell with them, I just paid for another year of the blog hosting, I updated the blog engine, I got rid with tons of spam. I got publications to post. This is my life-time diary.

Now I want to share some great link – Cyberworm’s sample blog. Some really awesome sound packs!

See ya soon!

First hardware QM synthesis realization

Hey and Happy New Year guys!

The time goes slow and it still goes. Beatretreat did a first hardware QM synthesis patch for Clavia Nord Modular G2 recently. Unfortunately, I can’t afford any of Clavia gears. But I’ve got another little New Year present for my self, I’ve bought – Korg MS2000R. Gotta ruin a couple of days to explore the gear. I wonder if it’s possible to alter the firmware to make possible QM synthesis inside the MS2000. Anyway, I hope I’ll make first true analogue QM synthesizer this year. Of course, major synths builders are not interested in technologies besides their own ones, especially when it comes to the simple&effective ones, remember James Dyson with his cyclonic separation?… Anyway, I’m pretty interested in building my own QM synth prototype now.

I’ve been quite busy lately. And honestly, I didn’t manage to get my hands back to Reaktor. But anyway, I’ve got some future plans for the project and a couple of frozen ensembles to unfreeze. See ya.

First QM-Synth VSTi for download

K.M.Krebs just released a free VSTi version of QM-Synth based on my QM Synthesis description. I’ve checked out the synth, it works pretty well, I haven’t noticed any bugs yet. Despite the fact that the synth done in SynthEdit it’s quite usable for creative sound design within any VST-compatible host. The synth lacks high frequencies tuning resolution, but it features 2 LFOs for the both OSC’s – source wave and quantization. Honesty, I was planning to make a VSTi version myself some time ago, but it’s really great K.M.Krebs has done it ahead of me. The synth’s really worth to check out if you don’t own Reaktor and got some interest in experimental synthesis.

Thanks goes to K.M.Krebs!

1 Year online!

Hey!

It’s been quite a lot of time since I promised to continue my posting at SynthOfMine.com. Summer is gone, just like my unofficial vacation. Well, my project isn’t aimed for a big popularity, so I have to admit, I’ve neglected my posting for a while. This time I won’t promise anything, next post I’ll just post usual Reaktor related material with no big announce. I’m not sure about timing, I’ve got the idea, I’ve the ensemble, but I’m not really happy with the controls inside. Knobs/faders just don’t fit into the idea. But the solution is a technical question.

Recently I’ve got few nice feedback about my project, I’d like to thanks people who keeps an eye at the site over the year. I put quite a big amount of energy at the beginning, so, I just had to take some time to rest and comeback fresh.

See ya!
