Tron Legacy Soundtrack Site
There’s a new Tron Legacy soundtrack Website which may or may not offer a preview of the Daft Punk soundtrack.
The site doesn’t seem to offer any way to authenticate it as legitimate – so it’s either bogus or the agency that produced it is a bit clueless.
It doesn’t offer any info and it solicits you to sign up for an email newsletter. And the domain is registered to one Ryan Rochford.
You can check it out here. Let me know what you think!

The Moog Voyager XL is a new patchable analog synthesizer that, if legit, could be the greatest monosynth of all time.
Moog hasn’t officially announced the Voyager XL yet – it appeared briefly on the Big City Music site earlier toda, but has since been yanked.
The Moog Voyager XL is a 60-key analog synth that combines the features of the standard Moog Minimoog Voyager with the VX-351 Control Voltage Expander, adds a dash of the CP-251 Control Processor and then throws in a ribbon controller.
In other words, it’s a distillation and refinement of Moog’s most notable synths – the Moog Modular and the Minimoog.

Free Music Software: Audio Genetics has released a new virtual instrument, Magnus Chord Organ, as a free download for Kontakt 3.5.
Description:
This small subspecies is closely related to the accordion and harmonica, with the key difference being the source of the air movement generating from an electric fan as opposed to moving bellows or lungs.
Originally three keyboard octaves, and including a number of accordion-like chord buttons, this family instrument was widely distributed in the 1970’s. It has a raw, charming quality to its sound.
You can preview Magnus Chord Organ above. More details at the site.

Native Instruments Reaktor Prism is a polyphonic instrument for Reaktor 5, based on physical modeling synthesis.
Prism produces a sound that can be dramatically modified via internal or external sources. The result is a wide-ranging synth, equally powerful for hard basses and digital leads as organic soundscapes, percussive keys, flutes and bells.

Check this out! This is a demo of the Missing Link - a wireless device that receives OSC and outputs MIDI.
In other words, you can slap one of these on your old MIDI gear and then control it wirelessly from an iPhone or iPad or other wireless device.
There used to be a device called the Missing Link made by CP Technology that was a MIDI-to-Control Voltage adapter, but this doesn’t appear to be related to that. If you’ve got more info on this “Missing Link” wireless MIDI adapter, leave a comment!
And let me know if you’ve got a use for a wireless OSC to MIDI adapter like this! Read more…
