Summer in Europe is over, Marcel is getting ready to release OS 13!

Changes:

  • improves synchronisation when slaved to an external clock source
  • makes it possible to enable/disable instrument tracks using Midi notes or controllers [CC#95 or C-0 to B-0]
  • adds a Global accent level [ACC+VALUE]
  • enables longer bars, with more than 16 steps per bar
  • introduces bassline models!

The last feature is taking it into Perkons territory :smiley:

The DR-2 has been extended with 4 new synthesis models for creating basslines:

  • SAW SYNTH: a simple bassline synthesizer model based on a sawtooth oscillator
  • SQU SYNTH: same, but based on a square wave oscillator
  • SIN SYNTH: based on a sine wave oscillator
  • FM SYNTH: a simple 2-operator FM synthesizer

Can’t wait!

As Florian would put it, this machine ticks all my boxes:

  • great sounding
  • characteristic sound
  • innovative
  • one man company
  • thorough customer care

Omg, one day this beast will be mine!

It’s great that he didn’t stick to saw and square VA models. I found the sin model to work really well in his demo.

No, the OS is still being tested. I’m sure all the news outlet will post about it once it’s live :slight_smile:

I guess it will go live soon since the video and the webpage are ready to go.

One thing I really want to see on DR-2 -> LFO or LFOs to apply to synthesis parameters, to move it all a bit into experimental / idm territory.

And Marcel planned implement it, at least it was discussed few times and he told it’s possible and probably will be done soon. What a pity it’s not included to the list of new things : (

We have another great update and that’s good

Did you keep yours after all ?

Yeah, nobody wanted it :upside_down_face:
But my money issues have been solved since thanks to a new job, so I’m glad I can afford to keep it now.
