kcinsu Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Nord has released a drum module... Very underwhelming though... 4 sounds, no individual outputs, and what looks to be an annoying editing scheme. 400 pounds seems pretty damn high for such a limited thing. Another Clavia let down. What a waste of a company. http://www.dv247.com/keyboards-and-midi/nord-drum-virtual-analog-drum-synthesizer--93772 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/71201-namm/#findComment-1733819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Promo Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I read the bumpf on DV247 and it seems to say it can be triggered by 4 inputs. Doesn't mention how many sounds it has. I can't see it being highly useful if its only got 4 note polyphony. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/71201-namm/#findComment-1733856 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 it's invitation only but it's not too hard to get one. i stay away from those conventions like the plague because i already have such a high degree of gear lust, i don't see how going to one of those won't just increase it. Plus what tools does one 'absolutely' need that isn't out already? Software is at a standstill in terms of technology development, struggling to emulate every piece of analog synth ever.

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Dynamic impulse response engines definitely seem like the future of software. I know they already can sound really convincing with more fine tuning and advancement sound design and emulation will be much easier and more accurate.

I'm not really familiar with it, is it something kind of like what Vocaloid does? where it's using 'spectral fingerprints' kind of to synthesis sound from scratch Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/71201-namm/#findComment-1734093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah, I'm just reffering to the recent beginning of dynamic convolution engines like Acustica Nebula 3 (Which was reportedly buggy and brutally CPU intensive) that used impulse responses of all sorts of audio gear etc. I believe Axe-FX (which is regarded as the best digital guitar rig modeling) primarily uses convolution. I saw in Sweetwater's mag that there's a new rackmount rig that lets you make your own impulse responses of amps to store and use on the unit. etc. etc. etc. Everyone knows how realistic static convolution reverbs sound, it was kind of mind blowing the first I saw the potential in uses lots of them dynamically to emulate and combine all sorts of different things like the Galaxy X is trying to do. With the ridiculous amounts of work that go into things like Universal Audio's emulations of analog units by modeling each transistor it makes sense that the ease and accuracy of dynamic convolution is the future. I guess the biggest hurdle for a while was just optimization and hardware power. I doubt that will be much of a problem for software developers anymore.

We are exclusive distributors of Denon DJ, Allen and Heath, Ableton, KRK, KORG, Chauvet Lighting, Martin Professional, Turbosound and so forth. I'm a junior product manager there.

Any chance you can get a fellow watmmer, canadian, and former 25-key midi controller mentor a deal on some of the aforementioned gear?

Guest Promo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 That Waldorf Pulse would have been excellent if it had a few seperate mono/stereo outs for individual audio processing. You could then do some mad fast mono arpeggiation which coupled with some crazy reverb you got lush chords ala the video below!!
