Dark Halls (Vampyr)
The new Roland Jupiter synth has only been here a few days, but you’d better believe I’m putting it to good use.
I absolutely LOVE Jan Hieronimko in this role as the creepy village doctor/vampire. Can you believe Dreyer discovered him on a random metro train in Paris?
All The Sounds (in one place)
I’ve been waiting a long time for this… Roland’s new flagship performance synth in an ultra-portable package.
It’s 5-part multitimbral with highly detailed Zen-core engine models for the Juptier-8, Juno 106, JX-8P, SH-101, XV-5080 and the RD series pianos. In addition to Roland’s own vintage filter modeling, the XM includes Moog 24dB/oct ladder filter and a Sequential Curtis filter emulations!
All of this in a tiny 10 lbs. package with internal speakers. Absolutely perfect for working when I’m in the studio and on the road…
Meyer Sound and National Sawdust Partnership
This week Meyer Sound and National Sawdust announced a new partnership.
We’re talkin’ 86 high-resolution speakers and 16 subwoofers installed behind all of these beautiful wall and ceiling panels. I was fortunate to get a behind-the-scenes look at this amazing setup last month.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind performance space in NYC and some exciting things are in the works. Stay tuned…
