Moog releases Voyager Editor Mac Version

·0 comments·

The Minimoog Voyager Editor-Librarian is a program that is designed to be the ultimate tool for organizing and creating presets for the minimoog Voyager. Through a MIDI connection, this program can pull single presets or the entire bank of presets from the Voyager – as well as replace individual presets or the entire bank. Once the presets are in the computer – all parameters are displayed on the graphical user interface, including EDIT mode functions like Pot Mapping, Touch Surface Destinations and Filter Poles. The settings of the front panel controls are displayed too with high resolution editing available, so this program can also be used to learn how the factory presets work as well as edit sounds with precision. Presets can be added to a library in user-named categories for creating custom preset banks – great to help the preparation of the gigging musician! In addition – the “Genetics” function can be used to obtain new presets by morphing or mutating two presets together into a whole new bank.


A Voyager OS update function is added too, to simplify the updating of the Voyager’s firmware. A Voyager must be updated to OS 2.5 to function with this software.

Requires OSX (does not support Mac OS 9). Pricing is set at $79.00

Future Retro ships The Revolution

·0 comments·

The Revolution is the latest concept synthesizer from Future Retro providing an intuitive interface which we feel most accurately represents the principles of time and music. From ancient sundials to modern day analog clocks, time has been represented as the circle, a cycle which never ends. For time itself is nothing more than our perception of the revolution of planets as they journey through their celestial orbit.

Experience the Nord Modular G2 system without a G2

·0 comments·

Now you will be able to experience the Nord Modular G2 demo software. This software will demonstrate a bit of the power of the Nord Modular G2 hardware system. The demo software only hints on the possibilities of the hardware.



This demo program itself is not intended to be used as a musical tool. Of course, the G2 hardware instruments are real professional musical instruments. That is why they are designed as independent hardware instruments with a velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard the acclaimed Clavia pitchstick and modulation wheels, plus a revolutionary new front panel concept. In our view, only hardware can offer rockstable and trouble free operation in a Single Box Solution.



In other words; real musical instruments that you just pick up and take on the road to do a gig or a recording session. Or just to have a good time jamming with your friends. Still, this demo software gives you a good chance to see and hear what those characteristic high quality sounds of the G2 instruments are all about. And try out the endless possibilities by patching new synthesizers.
