Today 3 SFC-60’s are leaving the SoundForce headquarters. 2 are going to Berlin, 1 for a customer and 1 for a reviewer of Beat.de (big German electronic music magazine). Another one is going to another reviewer of a the main local music production magazine here in Holland, Interface. This will hopefully spread some good words about the controller.
Other things… working on a very cool new feature for the SFC-60 firmware, more on that next week. And a new prototype board is coming friday of a new product! Exciting.
Mark was so hooked on the SFC-60 that he asked me to build him a prototype version of the 101. Quote : “for me the sooner the better – the juno controller is already one of the most important items in my studio and I use the Tal 101 more than the juno so it’s something I’m really looking forward to !” So I HAD to build me one before everybody else.

I am happy to announce that the SFC-60, my dedicated MIDI controller for the TAL U-NO-LX, is getting a new face and a new price! The price is lowered to 249 euros including VAT. The DIY kits will be no longer sold. You can subscribe to the waiting/order list here : http://goo.gl/forms/OwUsfIM1kR
Last week I implented a preset function into the SFC-60 MIDI controller. Since firmware V1.4 you can now save your favourite sounds into the memory of the controller itself and load them any time you want. You don’t have to save your sounds using the plugin anymore and can manage your presets directly from the controller. It’s a big deal for performing live. There are 3 banks of 14 presets available, so 52 in total. You can now also define a default preset that always get loaded when you plug the controller into the computer. This function will also be available in the forthcoming SFC-101 controller.
Video about preset mamagement coming soon!
Merry Christmas!
