As some of you may be aware i do like my synths (Hardware & Software).  Well, a new synth, sampler & sequencer has been announced by Synthstrom Audible called 'DELUGE'.  If you like  like grid box synths, grooveboxes etc then this could be for you. Heres a few features: 128 pads Synthesizer Keyboard Mode Effects (Delay, Reverb etc) Sampler Sequencer etc I think the main competitor for the 'Deluge' is  the Novation Circuit. The 'Deluge' probably offers more but its also more money (at around £640) compared to 'Circuit' (around £250). I have to say I'm not a huge grid based synth fan. However, they normally are quite portable etc. Yes, i would try it just to see what its like.

I have finally upgraded SOLAR STUDIOS. Recently, i had to face facts that the computer was over 5 years old & technology has moved on somewhat. In fact technology moves so quick that these days its hard to keep up to date.The computer is a lot more faster, more ram etc. I now have 2 monitors instead of 1. It really helps especially when using Cubase. Heres a list of Studio Equipment: CUBASE 8.5 FOCUSRITE SAFFIRE PRO 40 ADAM AUDIO MONITORS UAD (Neve, Fairchild, SSL etc) FABFILTER NATIVE INSTRUMENTS SYNTHS (Various) If you would like to find out more or would like to enquire about online mixing or songwriting (music) please feel free to contact me.

The past couple of days I've seen posts on social media regarding the Arturia Drum Brute. Yes its another drum machine. Arturia state its 100% Analog. The drum sounds are like the 808/ 909 etc. Here are some of the Arturia Drum Brute features: 17 Analog & percussion sounds 64 Step Sequencer Portable 24 Parameters (Change the pitch, decay, level etc) Steiner Parker Filter (Cutoff and resonance) Looper It looks good, but honestly i think it would be kinda competing with the Roland TR-08. Also they are similar price. There are a few 808/ 909 clones around these days. Is there room for another one? Hmmmmmm! Im not sure. Maybe i would like a drum machine to have a few more sounds not just 808/ 909.

A few months ago i wrote a post about Behringer releasing a synth: DEEPMIND 12. Well now, Behringer have added a augmented reality interface to the synth. I think this is the first time ever that any company has done this to a synth. Imagine being able to control a number of elements (e.g. Oscillators & envelopes etc) with a 3D world around you. To get this 3D effect you need a HoloLens.  At the time of writing this the HoloLens is available to Powerusers, enterprise, developers etc. (The cost is $3000). The Deepmind 12 has not yet been released. Its due by the end of 2016. That will cost around $999. I have to say i really do like the idea of this. Looking at the video at Synthfest UK, it looks very fun to play & could be great for live shows. Yes, it would be great to try the 3D effect. However, i don't think i would use the HoloLens in the studio much. Like i said before to me its probably more for live shows. Its still a great idea. I think Behringer have stepped up...

'Bohemian Rhapsody'- QUEEN is over 40 years old (Wow, Can you believe that?) QUEEN, GOOGLE  & ENOSIS VR have teamed up to create 'THE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY EXPERIENCE'. It is a 3D, 360 degree video, with spatial sound & interactive elements. It sounds very interesting to me. However, to experience this you will need something like Google cardboard etc. The video is available on: ios and android (apps) Anybody seen this video yet? What are your thoughts?
