Hello Dave,
I read online that Muon will be releasing a new VSTi called the "Positron" and "project Molecule" Can you give some details on these vsti, sounds real cool? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

No problem.

Positron is a multi-timbral polysynth with waveform oscillators like Tau Pro, but with more waveforms. It will also have a noise generator built-in, some neat new filter types (Peak, LP+Notch), tempo-sync LFO's and a wicked FX section by SmartElectron:x just like Tau Pro. It will retail for US$50 and will be released in Summer.

Project Molecule has been absorbed into the update we've been planning to Electron for a while. It will have similar specs to Positron except that it will retain the Electron's classic split-filter design, sub-oscillator and X-Y controller.

Hope this helps
Dave

A poly-Tau then?

F***ing cool.

Dave, I knew about Positron, but you're still being cagey about what Project Molecule was/is - you tease! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Molecule basically was the idea we had for a wavetable morphing version of Electron - it'd have pretty much the same architecture as Electron does right now, but we'd replace the oscillators with wavetable ones like a PPG or WaveDream.

All those ideas have been absorbed now into what Electron will become in summer - watch this space!

Dave

PS - Positron is *much* more than a polyphonic Tau Pro :-)

I ought to post up some MP3's!

Yeah ... post some mp3s. I liked your Tau entry into the Max Synth Competition, and voted for it.

More please <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

Kevvvv - here's the good news. A (still not quite finished) Tau Pro MP3 can be downloaded in full from:

Tau Pro Tune

I've also just done an article for CM magazine on how to do old-skool acid with CM101/SR202 and the freeware Tau. Check out next month's mag.

The bad news is that I'm going to New York for three days and I won't have time to create some nice Positron MP3's till next week :-(

Happy Easter all!
Dave

Thanks Ken. Seems pretty much the only time I get to make a tune these days is either for a magazine tutorial or for a synth demo!!

Cheers
