Soviet Organ

Soviet Organ

“Unique sound sampled from a vintage Soviet Russian organ: borked, damaged and dangerous! • Body Speaker for full-range warmth, blendable broken Flight Case Speakers to add extra gritty nastiness • Upper registers can be switched between classic octave behaviour and harmonic intervals of Fifth and Major Third, to introduce a Vox-style tonality to the sound • Retrofitted switchable envelope control allows sound sculpture if you wish, or vintage organ voicing if you don’t • Vintage Tremolo affects both pitch and amplitude for very organic variation in the sound • You will never hear a tone like this anywhere else. Period. Continue reading Soviet Organ

SpaceMan

“Strange and evocative spring-based oscillators • Three flavours of further contamination to add complexity and erratic movement to the sound – hear the springs scraped, tapped, brushed, blown on and otherwise abused! • Uneven, uncertain, chaotic tones a speciality ? • 66 factory patches plus Glitch Control to generate brand-new random sounds with a single click”

“THE UNIQUE SYNTHESIZER FROM THE FATHER OF REAKTOR
REAKTOR SPARK is based on a new and unique REAKTOR ensemble, resulting from three years of design and development work by Native Instruments founder and conceptual mastermind Stephan Schmitt. This Powered by REAKTOR Instrument breathes new life into the concept of the subtractive synthesizer, adding a dynamic and unpredictable element that causes sounds to ignite into living and sometimes chaotic entities. As the father of REAKTOR, Stephan Schmitt has designed REAKTOR SPARK as his very own statement in synthesizer design.

Tested and refined in the rehearsal room and on stage, REAKTOR SPARK cuts through the mix like few other synthesizers, and delivers a unique presence in any arrangement and musical context. The “ghost in the machine” creates sounds that range from subtle warmth to screaming sonic overload. REAKTOR SPARK forgoes endless options and modes in favor of real edge and character, brought to life through the performance of the player.”

“Strange and unusual alternative universe sound generator • Bellows-driven pipes, reeded tubes and anbaric circuits all working in harmony • Powerful uncertainty controls ensure that every note is unique • Customisable mechanical noises for user-defined creaks, wheezes, groans and chiffs • This is what synthesisers would sound like in a parallel-wormholed Dickensian London”

System 1000M

System 1000M

“SAMPLED FROM A CLASSIC JAPANESE ANALOGUE MODULAR SYNTH

– Over 525 presets

– A choice of 10 waveforms plus white and pink noise

– Laboratory experiments, acid house and techno to serene radiophonic bliss-scapes

– Now on Version 2 with a bank of 5 new waveforms from the original System100M modular (sampled without tape).

– Bank 1 sampled with vintage valve equipment to quarter inch tape for rich analogue texture and non-lineararity.”
