Is that an impOscar 2 on your iPad?

·0 comments·

This morning when I opened my email I was surprised and got excited when I saw a picture of an impOscar2 running on an iPad. It was sent to me by Mario Jurisch (Synth-Project), the same guy who builts amazing hardware controllers for software instruments, like the impOscar2 and the OP-X. After some discussion I found out it wasn’t an app sadly. That would have been fantastic I think. But still … what is it then?

In this video Herbie Hancock talks about the Arturia Origin desktop synthesizer module. The Origin is a hardware DSP system that houses several synthesizers in one machine. Some of these synths come from the past, such as the Minimoog, some are totally new and innovative. Loaded with modules extracted from the best synthesizers of all time, Origin lets you combine these modules and take advantage of the additional possibilities put onboard. The result: a new type of sound accessible through an extremely intuitive interface.

But, … checking the Open Labs website this morning gave us surprisingly the news we wanted. And we are glad to inform you it is good news!

Codename: Gearjunkies 2.0 – Just a tease!

·0 comments·

To be honest this should have been done many moons ago. Meaning, … changing the way we look. The Gearjunkies layout! We knew long time ago that Gearjunkies could use a freshen up. But there is a reason why this took so long. When we started the website was simple, small and easy to work with. But as the years went by and the website grew and grew, we added feature by feature. Many of them originally programmed by our in-house programmer. In other words … we created a beast! Changing a layout wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Gearjunkies isn’t like a simple Wordpress site where you click and change your theme. Hell no! It took lots and lots of work to create a new layout for Gearjunkies. We called it Gearjunkies 2.0!

Is it already more then a year ago we were writing about the announced OP-1 from Teenage Engineering? Yes it is, but suddenly after a time of silence the OP-1 showed up in the videoclip for the vocal version of One from the Swedish House Maffia. And now there are these two clips on Youtube were the OP-1 is being demoed. Does this mean this little beast is finally coming to town?
