A little while ago we brought you a post on Mario Jurisch (a.k.a. Synth-Project) who just had finished his latest project. A hardware controller for the iMS-20 app for the iPad. The controller is appropriately named MC-20 controller. Mario has now made a video in which he shows the functions and the handling of the Controller. Look at the video and you will agree he did a great job.
Apple probably made a brilliant move with the release of a Garageband app for the iPad (and iPad 2). With a price of only 5 dollars you get a very nice DAW for your iPad.
Intercity recently commissioned sneaker customiser Alex Nash (aka NashMoney) to create a piece of artwork as part of the Inspired Ingenuity project. To help promote the competition, Intercity commissioned three artists to create a piece of work that takes the everyday and turns it into something special – and as we see sneaker customisation as its own form of Inspired Ingenuity, Nash was an obvious choice as one of those artists.
Denon DJ just posted a quick overview showing you how to setup Hybrid midi mode with Serato Scratch Live 2.1 or above. You can now download the Firmware and Hybrid Mapping files for the Denon DN-S3700 and DN-S1200.
Silly title of this post, we know. Because we assume you know what Soundcloud is or else you have been living under a rock for the past 2 years (just kidding, … don’t hate us!). But SoundCloud is a online audio platform that lets music professionals receive, send and distribute their music. Primarily SoundCloud provides an efficient and simple way for music professionals to exchange music they are working on in private settings allowing for easy collaboration and communication prior to a public release.

Nick from Serato remixes a hip hop classic on the fly using The Bridge software, an Akai APC-40, and a few Novation Dicers. Ableton and Serato bridge the gap between music production and DJing with The Bridge. The Bridge requires Serato Scratch Live 2.1.1 and Ableton Live/Suite 8.2 or above.
Our friends at Winksound grabbed themselves a Novation Nocturn 49 to their studios and together with Novation product specialist Brandon Carroll they show us more on the features of this MIDI controller keyboard. The Nocturn Keyboard is an intelligent plug-in/sequencer controller. It has a high quality keyboard, with 8 drum pads and a total of 33 assignable controls, which allow you to get hands-on control of your virtual instruments, effects plugins and music production software such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live and Reason.

I like this! Jakob Lee (Denmark) performs a partly improvised song with just Ableton Live 8, Two novation launchpads, Korg R3, Firebox, and a Mackie Mixer.

Officially we can expect the whole ‘shabang’ (product details and images) tomorrow (17th february) but today already an image leaked onto the internet. Like Pioneer mentioned this new mixer will bring the ProDJ Link and Rekordbox to a new level. Just to be clear, we assume that the picture below is of the new DJM-900NXS. However the origin of the picture is unknown so we can’t be 100% sure, but it sure looks like the mixer shown in the original teaser video by Pioneer.
Creative minds, … creative minds! Mario Jurisch (a.k.a. Synth-Project) has just finished his latest project. A hardware controller for the iMS-20 app for the iPad. The controller is appropriately named MC-20 controller. Look at the pictures and you will agree he did a great job.
Gearjunkies good friend Michel Osenbruggen, maybe better known as Synth.nl, is one of those person we can truly call a natural ‘Gearjunkie’. If you look at his pictures of his studio then you really know exactly why we call him that. If you are into analog vintage gear, you’ll probably think he is working in a ‘vintage gear heaven’. He has a large, extensive collection of synthesizers. From way (… way!) back to the modern classics! One of his latest projects was the built of a drum module based on the schematics from the ‘Electronic Drum Cookbook‘ by Thomas Henry. The video below shows us the results.
