AUGMENTED REALITY TO A SYNTH?

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 on the synth market with this.

Until next time

CUBASE & LOGIC PRO X- BYPASS ALL PLUGINS!

A few weeks ago someone posted in Facebook group about how to Bypass ALL plugins in Cubase 8.5. (As some of you may know i use Cubase 8.5 in the main studio). It's a lot quicker than turning off each individual plugin. Here's how to do this: CUBASE- Go to File  Key Commands  Mixer (Section) Bypass Inserts Type in box a key (e.g. B etc) Assign OK When you press that key all plugins should be bypassed on the mixer LOGIC PRO X- As far as i know at the moment you cannot just press one button/ key & turn all the plugins off simultaneously. You can row by row.  Here's a quick video tutorial : Hope this helps Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services) Youtube Instagram Soundbetter

PEDAL STEEL SYNTH?

Synthesizers use oscillators to create a tone. Sound Source synth uses strings. The synth features: Slide Bar Pitch Bending Pedal Delay Analog Filter As of writing this the synth is still in prototype.  The price will be approx $700-$1200.  This is certainly a different musical instrument Until next time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER  FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar Project) YOUTUBE
