IPad lemur 4

Liine today announced a major update to Lemur – its modular MIDI/OSC controller platform for iOS.

Lemur 4 add a fully-featured in-app template editor, so you can create new controllers directly on your iPad; and three new user interface skins.

Liine also today announced LiveControl 2, which they describe as ‘the ultimate Live controller’. LiveControl 2 will be a free download and is expected in early 2013.

Here are the details:

Liine Lemur v4

In App Editor — Lemur 4 lets you design templates on the fly, without a computer in sight. The In-App Editor makes multitouch control improvisatory by letting you shape your controller the same way you shape sounds. Virtually every function of the desktop editor application is now available through an intuitive system of iOS menus and widgets. Best of all – it’s easier to use than ever. This means a much smaller learning curve and an immediate initial experience. Any basic configuration, such as a typical bank of faders, can now be created with a few familiar taps and gestures. And any factory template can be adjusted quickly to suit your particular needs. Skins — Lemur now features three new skins, in addition to the classic look. Choose the look that fits your style and get inspired. LiveControl 2 — Designed in partnership with master designer ST8. LiveControl 2 will let you improvise a riff on the Play page, then switch to the Sequencer page to edit the pattern. Choose a key and scale to guide your melodies and use Quick Chord to create harmonies. Use the Modulate page to map any parameter from any plugin to the MultiBall object and take advantage of Physics, LFOs and gesture recording. The Launch lets you use Lemur as clip launcher. Lemur 2 also includes snapshots and morphing.

Doepfer dark energy 2

Doepfer has announced that the Dark Energy 2 – an update to its popular analog monosynth – is now available.

The Dark Energy II is a monophonic stand-alone synthesizer with USB and Midi interface. The sound generation and all modulation sources are 100% analogoue.
The original Dark Energy synth had to be discontinued because it relied on a rare component (CEM3394). According to CEO Dieter Doepfer, “The new Dark Energy II looks like the Dark Energy at first glance, but the basic sound of the Dark Energy II is clearly different because of the new circuits for the VCO, VCF, and VCA.”

So, while the name and format of the two dark energy synths are similar, they’re effectively different synths with different sounds.

The Doepfer Dark Energy 2 is available now for 428.00 Euro.

Ken Macbeth monster synth

"I made an extremely rough estimate at £2.5K- it's a complex build-there will be manufacturing costs, assembly costs, distributor factors as well...but yes-that's a ball park figure!..."

You can find a video of the Nexus 1 posted back on Saturday here and the 1st track audio demo on Sunday here.

The Nexus 1 will be shown at NAMM.
