KORG - MODWAVE

It's some kind of a reminisence, to the DW - 8000 by Korg.

The DW - 8000 was based, on digital waveforms. Unlike the Modwave, they can't be played dynamically like the wavetables of this new instrument. But they're implemented, in the Modwave.

The DW - 8000 had only sixteen waveforms. The Modwave is containing more then 200 wavetables, with up to sixtyfour waves. You can import custom wavetables.

It's a polyphonic instrument (32 voices), with two oscillator (us sub - oscillator), two layer, motion sequencing (four lanes), four envelopes, dual modulation - processor, a lot of different filter - types, an inbuilt sample - library, five LFO, a playful x / y - controller (Kaoss Physics), more than 30 modifier, thirteen morphing - algorithm, phase - synchronised wavetable - blending (A / B Blend) and a lot of effects.

Specification:
°32 voices (stereo).
°2 layer.
°4 envelopes.
°5 LFO.
°2 mod - processor.
°2 key - track.
°Seq Lanes (A - D).
°Step pulse.
°Tempo.
°Program - / performance note - count.
°Program / performance voice - count.
°Poly legato.

°Exponential - velocity.
°Release - velocity.
°Gate.

°Note - on trigger + damper. °Note - number.
°Aftertouch and poly - aftertouch (external MIDI only).
°Pre - FX (decimator, graphic EQ, guitar - amp, modern compressor, parametric EQ, red compressor, ring - modulator, tremolo, wave - shaper).
°Mod - FX (black chorus / flanger, black phase, CX - 3 vibrato chorus, EP chorus, harmonic chorus, modern chorus, modern phaser, orange phase, Polysix - ensemble, small phase, talking modulator, vintage chorus, vintage flanger, vintage / custom wah, vox wah).
°Delay (L / C / R delay, multiband mod delay, reverse delay, stereo / cross delay, tape echo).
°Master reverb (early reflections, overb).
°Master EQ (4 - band parametric EQ).
°Filter types (MS - 20 LP or HP, Polysix LP, full collection of resonant 2-pole and 4-pole LO, HP, B, and Band Reject filter, multi - filter).
°Input / output (headphone 6.3 mm stereo phone jack,output L / mono and R impedance-balanced 6.3 mm TRS phone jacks, damper 6.3 mm phone jack, half-damper not supported, MIDI - in and - out connectors, USB - B port).

MODERN SOUNDS - PLUTO

The first instrument, by Modern Sounds, is called Pluto.

A small, modular - synthesizer.

Two digital voices (wavetable), sequencer, MIDI, audio - in and a delay - effect.

The way, to generate little complex sequences, is a bit tricky and intuitive.

The built - in battery, is rechargeable.

There is just a small list of specifiations, but no release - date or price available. But a overview - video, which is explaining the Pluto very detailed.

Specification:
°2 voices.
°2 sequencer.
°Low - aliasing, digital oscillator (wavetable).
°Mini touch - keyboard. 
°Clock - range, from 1 bpm to audio - rates.
°Audio - input, for audio - processing (line - level).
°Audio - output (headphone, line out).
°Quantize to preset - scales, MIDI or even audio - input.
°Built - in delay, with looping and glitch - modes.
°Eurorack - compatible patch - signals (5v).
°Sync - in / - out.
°MIDI - in / - out (TRS, USB).
°2 channels CV - out (0 - 5v, default 1v / oct calibrated).
°Power / charge via USB.
°Rechargeable  2500mAh - battery.

NOVATION - CIRCUIT TRACKS

The Circuit Tracks, by Novation, is available now.

It's an groovebox, with two polyphonic synthesizer - tracks, four drum - tracks and two polyphonic MIDI - tracks, to control external instruments.

The internal sounds are digitally generated, but you can load samples via micro SD - card.

The sequencer is allowing, to create pattern with 32 steps, which can be chained to sequences with up to 256 steps.

The Circuit Tracks has in - built effects (reverb / delay), is allowing micro - timing, propability and "pattern mutate".

Also, audio - input and an rechargeable built - in battery.

There are three "classic" MIDI - connections (DIN / 5 - pole). MIDI - in / - out / - thru, which very cool.

But, the Circuit Tracks, can be powered only through USB, which is not so cool.

The Circuit Tracks, can be edited through a synth - editor, using a computer.

Specification:
°2 polyphonic sequencer - tracks.
°4 drum - tracks.
°2 MIDI - tracks.
°32 RGB backlit, velocity - sensitive pads.
°28 RGB backlit, tactile click - buttons.
°Power - button, with "charge status" LED.
°USB - C socket.
°Micro - SD card slot.
°3 x MIDI DIN (in, out, thru).
°3.5mm sync - out.
°2 x mono audio - in.
°L / R stereo - out.
°Headphones - out.
°8 x endless - encoder, with RGB - indicator.
°Master volume - pot.
°Master filter - pot, with centre detent.

Behringer - LMDrum

Behringer has confirmed, that they are working on a clone, of the famous LinnDrum by Linn Electronics.

Like the original machine, the LMDrum is generating it's sounds an a digital basis, using sampled material.

In contrast to the original, the LMDrum, has the ability to process it's own samples. It's not clear, if samples can be imported, but we can see a recording - input on the back of the LMDrum.

As the development is still in progress somehow, we have to wait for the definitive specifications.

Behringer - Wave

Behringer is getting closer, to finish, this project.

They will build some "pre - production samples" and start beta - testing.

The sound of the original PPG - Wave, is very unique. So, it's worth looking forward, to this specific instrument.

Here is the original Facebook - posting.

Steda - SR 909

Steda Electronics was opening, the pre - ordering process, for the SR 909.

It's, of course, a replica of the TR 909 by Roland.

The SR 909, is coming as a D.I.Y. - kit and you can choose between different colors, for the casing as for the L.E.D.s and the display.

You can place your pre - ordering, until August 21th 2021.

Price: $999

If you want your power - supply, to be pre - assembled, you'll have to pay $35 additionally.

Ashun Sound Machines - Hydrasynth Explorer / Deluxe

The Hydrasynth is coming, in two different and new sizes.

The Hydrasynth Explorer is a version, with 37 keys, in mini - size format.

Beside this and the missing MIDI - thru socket, the technical specifications are the same, as the regular keyboard - and desktop - version.

Something, about the specifications, of the Hydrasynth.

The Hydrasynth Deluxe is a dual - engine version, with 73 full - sized keys.

Each of them, has eight voices.

Both engines can be used to create layer - sounds or a key - split, if using multi - mode.

The Deluxe - version has a single - mode, which is allowing to play one sound, with sixteen voices.

Very nice, is the possibility, to use it's bi - timbrality, through two different MIDI - channels and two dedicated stereo - output connections. That way, you can have two real Hydrasynth - units, that can be edited separately or together.

Price: €599 ( Explorer) / €1749 (Deluxe)

Both are available, in a few weeks.

Waldorf - M

Waldorf is continuing, the Microwave - series. In a contemporary sound - and form - factor. And the new wavetable - hybrid, is just called M.

It's a desktop - unit, without any keys and it seems it can be rack - mounted.

The M has a polyphony of eight voices and a multi - timbrality of for parts, which can be routed to separated outputs.

Each voice is using, two wavetable with independant wavetable generating - modes. There is the Microwave 1 - and the Microwave 2 / XT - mode.

The 24 dB / oct - filter is a analog circuit, also the stereo - VCA, that can be panned.

It has two LFO, three flexible multi - segment envelopes, and an arpeggiator which can be synced to MIDI - clock.

96 factory - wavetable and 32 user - wavetable.

2048 sound - and 128 multi - programs, can be stored.

SD - card slot, for exchanging sound - banks and wavetables.

USB - and DIN - connections, for MIDI.

And a graphics - capable display.

There is no such thing, like a modulation - matrix.
