Sync Modular is free now, thanks NI

That's right NI Reaktor's stepbrother Sync Modular is now free. I've overlooked the news, it became free quite a time ago, but never the less I support that kind of steps. I remember I asked NI to make Reaktor 2.3 free ages ago. Now it feels like they should make free Reaktor 5 :)

 

Sync Modular is free now

Youtube is the answer

I just did something I should do at least 3 years ago. I created my synthesis Youtube channel. Anyway, the QM synthesis idea was developed ages before this blog even, And before we have Quantum Radio 2 and probablly some more bonuses there is first video for this blog. During creating it I've solved quite a lot of technical problems of video recording, editing, recompressing, sound and multiple video sync. And now there is midi controller in picture, it's Korg's Nanokontrol. So, it's quite good beginning!

Now, enjoy new video! HD/Fullscreen mode is recommended!

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.
