It’s Wednesday, the third day of Jamuary, 2024, and after a few technical issues, there was live music (?) again!
For today’s edition of Jamuary 2024, I continue with the new Native Instruments Kontrol S49 MkIII and exploration of Komplete and Ableton Live integration.
It’s that time of year again, and I’m going to be at it again — or at least try to. Today’s stream features the Native Instruments Kontrol S49 MkIII controlling a hybrid configuration consisting of Ableton Live and a mixture of hardware and software synths.
Free until January 4, 2024, is Arturia’s newest _Efx offering. Called Refract, it’s a unique “super unison” effect with a twist or two. I’ve only just begun to fool around with Refract. It seems to be great at any chorus/flange/phase effect and adds some interesting… Read More »FREE _Efx Plug-in From Arturia (Limited Time)
Another new piece of music. This work-in-progress came about while I was exploring Arturia’s Analog Lab Pro, and my collection of Native Instruments plug-ins. The inspiration came from the bassline found in Arturia’s Acid V (the player-only version included with Analog Lab). So, two tracks… Read More »Forward Backward Upside Down
Those who know me well know that I’m not a religious person, nor really much of a Christmas person. But there are a couple of Christmas carols that have always been favorites of mine. That they are favorites have little to do with the season… Read More »‘Tis The Season

For MiniFreak hardware owners, the firmware update is available as a free download. The MiniFreak… Read More »MiniFreak Turns 2.0
I’ve been musicing today! A musical work in progress using mostly instruments and effects included with Ableton Live 11 Suite, except for a couple of tracks made with u-he’s free Podolski VST instrument.
I have, in the past, mentioned the Roland GAIA synthesizer, and have said that it could well be a “perfect” synth. Indeed, during its 13 years of production, it was a preferred instrument for teaching about synthesis and sound design in schools and universities everywhere. So, I was naturally quite interested when Roland announced the GAIA 2.
As you may already know, I recently acquired a Polyend Tracker. It was not something I’d planned to buy.
It was on sale….
Jamming is not exactly the word I’d use to describe working with the Polyend Tracker, but for lack of a better word, it’ll do for now. Making music with it is a process. It’s actually a fairly enjoyable process, though, once you start to get… Read More »Tracker First “Jam”
