One month ago we posted dutch artist Remco’s demo track for the Symptohm:Melohman PE and now he shows up again, this time showing his experiments with the Ohmicide:Melohman distortion. His Ohmicide demo track shows that this distortion – despite what many could think – is not only suitable for hard and agressive distortion grain. The owners of this unit know that the Ohmicide palette goes far beyond that, crossing the huge field of subtle distortion and ‘distortion to add warmth’. This demo shows us some percussive elements dictating the rhythm for some atmosphere/texture sounds, while the Ohmicide helps creating a global ‘soul’ for the whole landscape, the final result being anything but cold…

Dutch artist Remco has made a nice demo track for the Symptohm:Melohman Performer Edition free synth. Except for the drum sounds (for which he used Drumatic) all sounds are from the Symptohm, take a listen! And then if you want to check out his tracks, there are many in his Soundcloud profile…
The Music Radar site is asking their audience “What are the best VST-synths you can buy?“. Swiss DJ and music producer - and Symptohm:Melohman enthousiast – Dominic Reamonn answered their poll and copied us on his mail to Music Radar. You can guess his vote, but not necessarily his very own emotional reasons to love this powersynth 
“My vote goes to Ohm Force’s Symptohm. Why? Because of all the synths out there that I have tried, Symptohm is the only one that:
- Has an Ape’s ass as part of its interface
- Has envelopes and LFOs per parameter (excluding Minimonsta, of course)
- Contains 4 banks of filters with a total of 30+ filters
- Has an Ape’s ass as part of its interface
- Has delay times that can be LFOed for total glitch fests
- Scares cats
- Is fairly unknown, which makes me look different, and thus better
- Was made by a sandwich company.
- Can produce totally unique and expressive sounds with next to no effort at all.
- Has an established YouTube fanbase centered around the works of Jack McOck and Professor Von Schwarzenberg.
- Doesn’t crash any more.
- Has an Ape’s ass as part of its interface.
And of course, because it has an Ape’s ass as part of its interface, I can spend less time purring over animal porn and more on making music. Ça va de soi!”

Christmas before time!
Two months ago we announced our pricing changes in our ”it’s still business, but let’s keep it reasonable” disclaimer, and we listened to all kind of reactions. Some guys from the audio/plug-in industry might have said that we’re naïve or anti-corporate, while the music press has warmly reacted and dozens of individual music producers have written to us to comment on how much they share the same point of view about it all. No need to say that, among the industry, the press and music producers, we’ll always listen to – and work for – the latter. Like you, we love music and music making, and will always do our part to support the scene.
The pricing changes were only the beginning: from this december, we invite all music producers in the world to download and use for free the Performer Edition of our Symptohm:Melohman powersynth. That’s exactly what you’re understanding: Symptohm:Melohman is now freeware, joining our rock solid stinky Frohmage filter. Get it now and tell your friends!
Exploring new sounds is priceless! And when we say priceless, we really mean it

Symptohm melodies from Vienna
This time the Melohman vibes come from Austria, land of the wild – yet highly domesticable – Oinky Poinky specimens. The Oinky Poinky Demixed track was done using only the Symptohm:Melohman synth and fried sugar’n'nutella toasts. The chilled melodies tells the blurred visions through a Vienna’s subway window during a 5 minute ride in an Autumn afternoon in direction of LoFi Records office…(picture below)
Our ears are still banging and echoing. Yesterday night 5 ohmen were at the Nine Inch Nails concert at the Zenith hall, in Paris. Great band, great concert. Statistically Trent Reznor and his NIN are maybe one of the biggest musical unanimities here at the Ohm headquarter. It was a special pleasure listening to what they’re are capable to do with two guitars and a piece of software you might know called Ohmicide:Melohman. Thanks for all band members for such powerful music and special thanks for Blumpy (a big nice guy from the from the NIN crew) for guiding us through the big nail side of the force. Will the band play at your town? Go for it.

the Poly Touch Tangible synth
Looks really nice this “Poly Touch Tangible” developed by Mike Neumann. The concept of a tactile multi-touch screen in which interface we’re able to place some cubes and dynamically control most parameters of a synth isn’tt that new anymore, but for the first time we see it a size that makes us hope it’s finally becoming something *real* and perhaps even affordable, and not anymore a futuristic prototype that only millionaire or highly sponsored people could touch.. (click on the following pictures to see them bigger)..
“I wanted the track to follow along with the structure of the novel’s narrative if it is read at a fluently paced standard and also complement the image aspects in great detail. I wanted to take you on a sound-walk through the images starting in a state of robotic mind control where we are then imprisoned in a so called “credit crunch” caused by human greed; debt entrapment and inexplicable governing techniques resulting from corruption and back-seat puppet masters whispering in the background; while their puppet people stand around being photographed and making a mockery of the world. The track starts to gradually build into a great big explosion of deep minimonsta:melohman bass (probably from a top secret beer friendly location) and the rehabilitation of all greed struck peoples of the world who are everted by the ultra low frequencies of the globally resonating minimonsta:melohman waves. Eventually they start to be free and play there own sounds and the world is amass with minimonsta:melohman frequencies circulating through the airwaves and renewing humankind’s creative and innovative characters. The people of the rejuvenated world dance and cheer and minimonsta:melohman frequencies ring until the end of time.”
Kylo Alexander from UK started his career with the right foot, as he told us that it’s the first time he shows his music to a public audience. Well Kylo…. I’m afraid our blog is not exactly what we could call “massive audience site”, but if a half dozen guys come to know your work, it’s already a “debut”, isn’t it ? 
Second Minimonsta cohmpetition’s submission is in the house. This time we get closer from the cohmpetition guidelines: Ruppert Lally brings us an intro that smells like global crisis, and when we could think that there would be no more hope, an infectious groove starts to scream..

A gift from GMedia guys
Friendship’s tenderness. Isn’t it a beautiful thing? “To: Vincent Birebent and the Clueless Morons”, that’s what we could read in the front of the mysterious pack “from Uk” that the postman have just brought. Vincent Birebent aka Mauve Force immediately had the insight: such as love must be something from our GMedia friends, with who we have the GForce joint venture. Three seconds later, envelope opened, the confirmation: a copy of their Virtual String Machine and – Yeaah! – their brand new M-Tron Pro! We were craving to put our hands on it.. (thanks guys!)
