  • @bleassapp , sounds great.

    So, this was the mysterious synth you mentioned yesterday... I can't wait to watch the stream tonight! Thanks Doug.

  • Bleass Motion sequencer + Aphelian AU

    That’s all I’m sayin.

  • Pre ordered as looks and sounds like a winner.

  • Can you use it with the Bleass groovebox?

  • @fattigman said:

    Thanks for asking! Indeed, you can use it with the BLEASS groovebox as it manages multiple channels midi in/out

    if you use the BLEASS groovebox along with the standalone instance of the BLEASS Alpha Synth, then, simply use the MIDI OUT channel 1. You can also sync boths apps through Ableton Link.

    but you can also load 4 different instances of the Alpha Synth (as it is also AUv3) in a DAW such as AUM or Audiobus, and assign a different midi channel coming from up to four different midi channels from the groovebox!

    we shall make some kind of tutorial very soon!

    Look forward to seeing this, the motion feature looks really good.

  • I’m a huge fan of all things BLEASS. They’ve earned my instabuy. Knowing them, I’m thinking this will offer a bit more creative experience than the average synth. 😎
