New: AAS Chromaphone - Creative Percussion Synthesizer

[Sequent]

That's really nice, Sampleconstuct. The quality of the sounds reveals a certain depth that goes beyond what I'm used to hearing out of Tassman, etc. More of a 3D roundness as opposed to the 2D flatness... if that makes sense.

Here is a first demo using my first Chromaphone patch, automating some parameters in Logic. This instrument really takes the whole AAS concept a step further.

When I think of Tassman I think of you, Himalaya! I'm shocked that you didn't get an email.

But I guess I'm in good company in that case. I hope we hear something from them before Dec. 5th!

I have 3 of their products and haven't had any email

Nor have I.

Yes, that does make sense, haven't used Tassman in ages, nor any of my other AAS instruments like String Studio/Ultra Analog/Lounge Lizard as they just didn't inspire me enough anymore but this thing sure does because it's a so responsive and realistic (or unrealistic if you want it to be).

I always liked the concept of acoustic modelling beginning with the Korg Z1 and continuing with AAS and others. Unrealistic realism if you will!

Well, now you've got me downloading the demo... have to hear this/try this for myself!

Did you get my coupon code?

I'm a registered user, hadn't gotten any email yet. I declined their newsletter back in January so I hope by signing up again they'll send me an email.

I stilll have the Z1 standing here in my studio, that's where it all began somehow...

Ah, good idea. I do get the occasional newsletter from them, but nothing yet about Chromaphone. I just signed up again and it didn't say anything about me being already signed up, etc. Guess, we'll both find out.

Here is a second demo with some wooden timpanies sort of...

I think there are a few of us out there.

I remember my very first encounter with the Z1. I was literally blown away by how alive it felt to play it. Meanwhile, the Bon Ton crowd were terribly underwhelmed that there weren't drumkits, etc. (Sort of like the initial reaction to the Wavestation.)

And the x/y touchpad really was a good invention, Z1 is capable of some percussive sounds that come pretty close to Chromaphone but it doesn't have it's pristine-ness...

Nice range on that one. Also has a little bit of that clay pot feeling to it in places. Flowerpots.

Yeah, flowerpots you can tune while playing by squeezing them
