Music Software : Modular Synthesis in New Reason NN-XT Refill - macmusicPinknoise Studio's Soundbank has unveiled a new Reason Refill for the NN-XT sampler featuring sampled analog modular synths. I was skeptical of this approach at first, fearing sampled Moog's or something horrendous like that. Instead, the bright folks at Pinknoise have created a Refill with basic analog components (sine waves and the like) so you can take advantage of the advanced modular features of the NN-XT to replicate the creative synthesis possibilities of a full-featured analog synth. Demos are available, and the full version is just US$19 for a download. With Reason's excellent pattern sequencers, this could be a lot of fun -- stay tuned for a review.

Music Hardware : AE2003: IRCAM move your body! - macmusicIRCAM, the famous french institute for musical research and Eowave associated last year to develop the eobody. Eobody is a CV to MIDI interface we already talked about in the MM news. It is on demo on AE2003 with its MAX/msp developed editor and the available sensors (light, pressure, piezo pads, ground captors, distance, acceleration etc.) and under developement sensors (ribbon and capacitive keyboards) to trigger sounds (I develop everywhere ;), notes or video events in real time. (see the pics)

Now you can really play your tunes by scratching your head or square dancing!

Music Software : Live 3 Beta: Wait for Final Release - macmusicI've had a chance now to give Live 3 a test-drive. So far, the new release looks very solid, and even in beta runs fine. An interesting detail: the new plugins ship as VST plugins, as opposed to proprietary Live plugins, so you can use them with other software. The previous plugins remain proprietary. Despite the fit-and-finish on this new release, however, you will want to wait for the final software to ship. Unlike the Live 2 beta, the beta software warns that files saves with the beta may be incompatible with the final release version. I'll have more on Live 3 later this week; in the meantime feel free to email me your impressions.
