Maschine Studio Preview and Initial thoughts.

Maschine 2.0 and The Maschine Studio

A short preview and initial thoughts

 

October first 2013 Native Instruments dropped a bomb on the 
heads of the beat creation world.
With the first announcement video, a very slick video HERE 
that got the forums and social media drooling for more.
What was this? A new maschine hardware unit, and a rewritten 
software engine to the beloved Maschine software.
The first thing that is instantly noticeable about the new 
hardware is the luscious new screens. Hi-res screens that 
look similar to smart phone screens with gorgeous graphical 
displays allowing us to now see everything from the arranger, 
to the sample editing, to mapping etc.
These screens providea significant improvement over the previous 
MK2 hardware screens. Now sample editing is gorgeous with beautiful 
looking waveform displays and zooming that is highly detailed. 
No desire to look up to your monitor at all.
Play heads scroll quickly across the screen with no trails or signs 
of low quality refresh rates. I noticed no color bleeding or other 
issues common to low quality screens.

Animodule Trani Module Eurorack Speaker, Mixer, Booster Utility module

Posted on by

This module is deceptively useful in that not only does it give you the convenience of a speaker being built right into your Eurorack modular. It also gives you the ability to take audio signals in and boost them to synth CV level without distortion so you can use them as modulation sources. very cool indeed. check it out below.

Animodule Lil Monster VCO Eurorack module gets taken for a spin!

Posted on by

Animodule is a small Eurorack and MU format analog synthesizer module maker. Based out of Pennsylvania, they create hand built analog masterpieces that shake houses and dominate mixes.  The Lil Monster VCO is a hand built Triangle core OTA based oscillator with HUGE pulse width modulation and excellent features such as sync, and exponential / linear FM. It’s calibrated for 1v per octave so it will work with most standard analog synths. The Circuit board is etched using a C&C machine so these are not some mass market hunks of junk. These modules are built to last and really feel well built. the knobs have a strong sturdy placement the pots are not wiggly it just feels like someone actually put care into what they were making. Respect it.

Take a listen to its intense sound in this short video here and stay tuned for more articles featuring this manufacturer.
