Electro Modular Aalto 1.9.4 release notes - Hi and welcome to Aalto, a synthesizer by Madrona Labs. Summer is coming! Well the sun has been out at least. I'd love to let my synth nerd flag fly with a shirt with the image from the cover of the Aalto manual. Also, would it help fund updates? I seriously feel like I under paid. :) I'm with Jonah; please charge my credit card again for whatever amount seems reasonable.Seriously a t-shirt would be great! Though I would be more partial to a hoodie, with or without zipper.The Madrona Log would also make a nice front or back design. OK! I even played around with colors a while ago. I'll do this after I mail out some Soundplanes and take a quick nap. So, first half of June-ish. [EDIT] yeah, right. awesome! :D I'd buy. I'd want one. i'd pony up for one too...bring it! Shiver me timbres, it shore is cold and rainy. The extra insulation of a Madrona Labs sweatshirt would be a lifesaver!(edit) Hmm hoodies are kind of pricey. But you can't fly your Aalto colors in the Winter with a t-shirt. Decisions, decisions. t-shirt would be kiLLer. sold!! I'm in! I would buy one also ! me too!! Well the t-shirts are selling themselves. C'mon guys and girls - no other takers on Aalto hoodies? Mmmmmmm, nice, fluffy, warm hoodies. Pacific Northwest folks need Aalto hoodies! HOODIES! I'm up for a hoodie if you can ship to the UK. First this T-shirt and now the hoodie... Did they ever really exist and if so where to order?I love the design by garf. Did they ever really exist and if so where to order?Only in our minds.I would love to make some things for all you nice folks to wear. I've just been too busy getting Soundplanes and Aalto out there. I'm going to go with the T-shirt-- love me some hoodies but with the shirt I can afford to just make some and not need people to pay in advance. Less hassle all round. Dang. For a minute there, hoodies were making a serious comeback! No matter; I can use the money saved on that hoodie to pay the heating bill. Oh, wait... I live in a cardboard post-war coastal California house - there is no heat! [[shivers]] I'd wear it in a heartbeat, especially if it's half as stylish as Aalto is. Hell, I'd buy the bumper sticker and oven mitt too... I know, I can make a madrona logo patch and you can sew it to a Uniqlo hoodie. Problem solved! Wow. I thought "Uniqlo" was a clever word you just made up. Then I looked it up. Problem most definitely solved!!! :) I was actually gonna buy two shirts and find a Punk Rock Girl to cut one of them and safety-pin the logo to the back of a hoodie in the classic style. The patch idea is much better!EDIT: Damn, once you past past the scary-looking models, looks like they actually got some pretty nice clothes for cheap. Hardware and softwareComments

2025-04-23Kaivo is a semi-modular software synthesizer that combines two powerful ways of making sound: granular synthesis and physical modeling. Download the plugin When you first install the plugin, it will run in demo mode. This means that a gentle reminder sound plays every minute or so, and saving patches is disabled. When you register the plugin, these restrictions are removed. To update your plugin, just download and run the latest installer above. The latest version will always be right here and updating won't affect your registration. Buy a license: € 119,00 The purchase price includes a license for both Mac OS and Windows. Your purchase will create a license key that you can get from the "My licenses" page after logging in. To register your plugin, just copy the key and then click in the plugin’s registration area. The koto sound in particular is really stellar and what I love about it is that I could make subtle adjustments to it to blur the line between authentic sounding koto and synthesizer. – Kasson (Symbion Project) The reason I was drawn to [Kaivo] is that you can create a granular synth out of your own samples, and I wanted to create a synth out of my voice. I love it. – Natasha Kmeto After a couple days with Kaivo, I can honestly say this instrument is amazing. […] Other physical modeling synths I've played with just sound like instrument emulators (with limited controls and no real modular capabilities), but yours allows me to explore truly alien realms of acoustics. – Rrose I use some, but very little, software synthesizers from time to time. I do quite like the software from Madrona Labs, Aalto and Kaivo. These are really interesting and different sounding synthesizers and they bring something to my palette that I don’t have in hardware (well, Kaivo, mostly). They both have a very organic sound quality to them, I think that’s why I’m drawn to them. – taylor deupree I've been playing with Kaivo for about a year now, and I just premiered a full-length set last night made 100% with Kaivo. People loved it! It's such a versatile machine. – jesse Kaivo is truly inspiring to use, sounds wonderful and does things that no other synth can. Innovative, edgy and awesome. – Ronan Macdonald (MusicRadar) For me, the Kaivo isn’t just a lovely thing to work with – its component parts are sufficiently innovative that it generates ideas in addition to audio. – Gregory Taylor (Cycling ’74) About the sound Kaivo brings some of the latest academic research in physical modeling to a patchable package for the first time. Mathematically speaking, its finite difference time domain (FDTD) models let the player reach inside the instrument and affect the internal vibrations at any point. This allows for a fine degree of realistic detail, like the bridge rattles on a "gut string" model, for example. And while Kaivo is capable of making very realistic sounds, it is also designed to apply
