Togu Audio Line Working on First Commercial Release
"We currently work on a new Juno-60 emulation with a fully rewritten new engine and GUI. Up to date zero feedback delay filters and carefully calibrated controls make this synth a good replacement for the analog device with all the advantages software plugins have. It’s even possible to recreate old Juno patches from an existing patch sheet. As an addition, the TAL_U-NO-LX also supports portamento and different LFO waveforms and some more useful features. An arpeggiator with different sync modes and hold function is also included. This new version will also be available as 64bit OSX AU and VST plugin. It was hard to calibrate a synth that has different envelope times on every voice, but we even copied this to some degree :)"
No pricing has been announced, but apparently anyone who had donated $17 or more to Togu prior to June 11, 2011 will receive a free license. Still not convinced? Check out this demo which compares the plug-in to the real deal. (The real Juno-60 is first in all examples with U-No-LX second.)

Cosey Fanni Tutti Piece Inspired by Boingboing Writer's Cancer Treatment
Legendary ex-Throbbing Gristle member Cosey Fanni Tutti has created an 18 minute piece called "Bioschismic" inspired by Boingboing contributor Xeni's recent cancer treatment. Here's what Cosey had to say:
"Bioschismic" is created solely from audio and photographic documentation of Xeni’s time spent receiving chemotherapy. The repetitive drip drip rhythm of the toxic chemicals measured in precise doses over a specific period of time provide the prospect of extending (life) time. Time is the dominant force yet the effects of the drugs change the experience of time to a space that is other worldly -- a different time zone -- a schism within and for life itself.

Meat Beat Manifesto Tests Some Synths
Meat Beat Manifesto has had a long career over which they've accumulated an enviable stable of rare analog synth beasties. Here is a short video/song that demonstrates some of them. Which synths do you spot?

Free Sample Friday: Raw Modular Drone
Today's Free Sample Friday will actually require a little extra editing work form you (boo! hiss!). Adam has provided the above 12-minute audio clip of him messing around with his DotCom modular synth. Lots of chaotic goodness to choose from, edit, and turn into new instruments of your own! Enjoy! And thank you, Adam!
Arturia to Release Free Version of Minimoog-V
In the meantime, Arturia has announced that for one day only, they will release an absolutely free commemorative edition of Minimoog-V. June 21st is the magic day when you can download this softsynth which has all the standard features of the Minimoog, but loses the extra features added in the paid version of Minimoog-V. As if that wasn't enough, 1,000 patches are included. So mark your calendars, and prepare for lots of swearing and on-line complaints when their servers get overloaded!
