It's a monophonic monster, armed to the teeth with jaw dropping effects and wobblier than a jelly on a space hopper.
CYCLOP is the scratch-looping, sample-mashing, sub-generating, harmonic-splicing mothership of the twisted bass alliance and it's landing on your desktop soon. With masses of new sounds for you audio-junkies, from screaming analog syncs through brutal FM sounds to scintillating spectral shimmers.
The integrated sampler also works as wavetable synth and pitch transformer for creating unbelievable and disturbing monster voices.

Indianapolis based Blue Prophet today announces Shakie Percussion 1.2, an update to its musical instrument app for iOS.

It uses a realistic physics engine to model and animate pellets to simulate maracas, bells, shakers, tambourines and more. Version 1.2 brings the ability to change the shape of the pellet container, volume sensitivity, richness and nuance of the sound and more.

The ShelTone 226 is a cool electric reed organ built into a tolex suitcase. It makes its sounds by using an electric fan to drive air over reeds, much in the style of a harmonium or accordion.
The Bass Note buttons have been incorporated seamlessly into the keyboard samples so you get a full key range instead of just three octaves. If you want to play with those Major and Minor chord buttons, simply click the Bass Chords switch to swap from a full key range to a split keyboard: single notes on the right, and two octaves of Major and Minor chords under your left hand.

The Polychrome is high on the aquisition lists of most analogue synth lovers because it is regarded as one of those beautiful odditys that seldom gets heard in music because of the rarity of the synth.
They sampled every section of the Polychrome (Percussion/Strings/Ensemble and Vocal/Choral) and added lots of new features-such as the ability to play more than one choral/vocal section at any time and a dedicated effects section for each synth section and a master effects section.
For Mac and PC, Kontakt 4.2.4 and higher.
