[...] the sublimely absurd. Bad is better than boring. We’ve seen strange things that simply failed, or at least substantially creeped us [...]

nice, thanks for taking all the pics. i only got a few and they were all of puremagnetik. nice to see you both, sorry we didn’t make the party after all. too exhausted from having our own booth. next year we will have a staff of 14 employees to cover it so we can go to parties (not really).

Likewise, velocipede!

I have to agree with Peter that besides dorking out on music gear, meeting and hanging out with lots of cool and dedicated people was really the highlight. Added bonuses were running into quite a few Chicago people on the floor, discovering the vegetarian ciabattas in the Hilton, laughing uncontrollably at an innocuous fake rock that played music (yes, I was getting a bit burnt out at that point), finding a cool hidden zen corner of said crowded Hilton to chat with an Ableton rep, getting a ride back to Anaheim the morning after the CDM party in a super rad partybus, and scoring a number of earplugs on our way out the door on Saturday as we headed to a Richard Devine interview and then a party he played at–exactly the thing Peter and I had wished for after experiencing the aftereffects of RDV live in a mostly concrete art space. I’m sure more things will spring to mind, but yeah.

Stay tuned while we both type, edit, and upload furiously to share more of what we loved.

Yeah, they’re playing off the term ‘psychoacoustics’ with their Psycho Acoustic patches. Basically playing (read: getting some sort of sound out of) acoustic instruments. Should be some fun stuff!

He shows off that burning piano stuff in that sonic state video I clicked too. It’s cool to see that they’re sampling some really wacky stuff for Omnisphere. I’m intrigued.

dead_red_eyes,

Yeah, even got to play around with it VERY briefly, but mostly said “do this, change that”. So yeah, I heard more than one patch including one called burning piano. It’s a piano layered with the sound of a burning piano. They actually lit a piano up and recorded it.

The entire interface seems to be done and functional. There were, however, a limited number of patches they had available. My guess is the wait until Sept. will be for library development and fine tuning/resource efficiency. Maybe even more effects or implementing them fully. Come to think of it, they only really showed the effects and didn’t showcase any. Seemed that DelayLama is in there though as the formant filter.

So much to talk about. I posted what I could remember here: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=455232&perpage=12&forumid=48&pagenumber=2

Thanks for the clarification.
