Device wise, the news of the month is the release of Mattomat, a versatile MIDI arpeggiator and sequencer with a user friendly circular interface. DAS devices continue to impress with their five channel reverb and a new free mixer from CwModular proves to be highly useful, functional and compact.
This could also be considered 'Synth Month' for ScopeRise, as we have features on two of the best. The Scope community unlocks the potential of the Creamware original that is Vectron, and give some insight into the classic analog reproduction that is Prodyssey including comments from it's designer Matthias Klag.
When I purchased my first Scope rig in 2000, I realized the importance of the Project Breakout Cable, and immediately purchased a spare. I've never had to use it, but now there's even less chance I'll need to as we now have 53E7's definitive guide to it's connectivity and construction, should anyone need to repair one or build their own. A great supplement to our STDM article run a few months ago.
Musically, Dropout gives us a lesson on 'How To Measure The Sky' - the title of his recent album as he uses Scope across the European continent to obtain the best sound from some of the best synths.
Finally, take a stroll through our Scope User's 'Museum of Classic Hi Tech Gear' and see some of the roots of the Scope community's experience in digital and analog audio.
