Native Instruments presentation with Tomy DeClerque n At the end of May we hosted a special pres- entation of Native Instruments products held by Tomy DeClerque, one of the most respected Slo- venian DJs/producers. During the presentation Tomy showed a great number of production and DJing techniques, as well as sharing tips and tricks of the trade all using NI equipment. The ic- ing on the cake was the unveiling of a brand new product, the NI Traktor Kontrol F1, which was released worldwide three days after the presen- tation.

Sare and Gregor shared great insights about synthesis, the specific characteristics of the men- tioned synthesisers and techniques about how to use them.Additionally each participant had the op- portunity to try and synthesise new sounds across the offered workstations. Overall, the workshop offered a true in-depth look at the basics and how to approach synthesis, especially today in the age of presets and simplified digital synths where we often forget how to design unique sounds. n Focus on analogue synthesis +++ Paul May learned to fly +++ Synthesis… analogue Way +++ Native Instruments presentation with Tomy DeClerque +++ Paul May learned to fly +++ Synthesis… analogue W 211 SAE & SAE ALUMNI NEWS // European NEWS Index
