Five12 has released v2.2 of Numerology, their software step-sequencer for Mac OS X.

Updates include a Pitch Glide option for easily adding pitch bends to monophonic sequences, access to the OS X speech synthesizer and expanded support for the Audio Unit plugins Volta from MOTU and Silent Way from Expert Sleepers.

Numerology retails for $119.

Details:

The Pitch Glide feature in Numerology’s MonoNote sequencing module lets users easily add pitch bends to acid-style monophonic sequences.

The new speech synthesis option in Numerology 2.2 gives users direct access to OS X’s built-in speech synthesizer. Implemented through a new “Speak” option on the Audio Sample module, users can enter the text to be spoken and choose from any of the twenty-four built-in voices in OS X.

Numerology 2.2 adds built-in support for MOTU’s Volta and Expert Sleepers’ Silent Way by providing expanded audio routing options and direct conversion from Numerology’s internal CV signals to the automation inputs of each plugin. The ability to directly pipe CV signals from Numerology to analog equipment, without the resolution and data-rate limitations of MIDI, expands the compositional options available to analog synthesists.

Something to be thankful for – some Thanksgiving day acid.

Remember the Acid Symphony Orchestra?

This short video clip comes from Flow Festival Helsink, where the Acid Symphony Orchestra opened for Kraftwerk:

There are ten TB-303’s in this orchestra and one TR-707(?) operated by conductor Mr Jori Hulkkonen. This was very good performance, but unfortunately I only have some short clips with very bad audio quality. These guys were supporting Kraftwerk, which played excellent gig later.

Imagine ten 303’s from Kraftwerk PA system… Ahhh…

NSFW: The video for Acid Girls’ The Numbers Song looks like it might have been inspired by the American Apparel catalog, but through a twisted lens:

This video follows 4 female roommates and something isn’t quite right with 3. There’s a little ‘Single White Female’ vibe going on here. Can you tell when things start to go wrong?

Los Angeles DJ and production duo Acid Girls, aka Gregory Bowler and Jamie McNeil, are releasing The Number Song via IHEARTCOMIX on September 1st.

Sunday Synth Jam: This is a modular synth “space acid jam”, featuring the Future Retro XS analog synthesizer.

Patch details below.

Testing out the XS with the modular.

The Blacet Binary Zone is patched into the XS CV input, the clock output from the BZ is firing the Blacet EG which in turn is going to the gate input on the XS.

The XS is running through the Bel BD80 delay.

Great fun!
