THE WAY FORWARD
Traveling with Electronics : The Way Forward
.....hold on to the center
When I started "Traveling with Electronics" on 5/25/11, to share information about using technology in performance I made a choice to post once a month and keep it consistent and for the most part I've been able to do that for the past eight years but sometimes life hits you up side the head and you have to stay down until you can see the way forward. My last post Rise of the Hybrids was in February and for at least the next few months posts will be sporadic until I get back on my feet again. I do have a couple of things to share with you at this point in time so lets get started.
One of the big hits at NAMM this year was the MICROFREAK by Arturia
The MICROFREAK is a unique little hybrid synth with a capacitive keybed, flexible arpeggiator / sequencer and a very impressive thirty-five point modulation matrix.
Here is one of the more in-depth reviews of this versatile hybrid synthesizer
SAMPLR : Audio Recording Broken in iOS 12 : but only on new iPads ?!?!
As Apple ramps up for the yearly iOS 13 makeover many hard-core sonic renegades are already concerned about the havoc that iOS 12 caused with beloved apps like SAMPLR not being able to record audio. I was in contact with Marcos Alonso and he is working on a fix for the problem but a release date has not been determined yet.
That is going to be it for this post and I'll be back when I have something to share
until next time.....safe travels.....dino
