Software Synthesizer Native Instruments Dynamo V1.0 Part 1 - An Introduction To Software Synthesizer
Around 1997, products such as ReBirth RB-338 (Propellerhead Software) appeared, which had a staggeringly accurate emulation of the ubiquitous Roland TB303. Today software synthesizers are taken very seriously. Dynamo V1.0 by Germanys Native Software is indeed one of the most serious music software products I have ever seen.
Dynamo V1.0 is a piece of software for both the Power Macintosh and the PC that turns your computer and soundcard into a powerful synthesizer and audio processing system. It is based on the more expensive Reaktor V2.3 which has a completely modular structure that enables you to create simple analogue synthesizers or complex modular systems which can feature sampling and different kinds of synthesis such as FM, made popular in 80s by Yamahas DX7 and more exotic methods such as delay-line resonance and granular synthesis (a.k.a. re-synthesis).
With Dynamo V1.0 you cannot modify the instruments or build your own, instead you have access to the growing NI Premium Library, which is supplied on the installation CDROM and also on the regularly updated Native Software web site.
From initial impressions, I think that if you really get into Dynamo V1.0 then you may well want to upgrade to Reaktor V2.3, otherwise most will be happy with the massive possibilities that Dynamo offers.
Dynamo can be used as a VST 2.0 plug-in, DirectConnect or stand-alone, using your soundcards MIDI interface.
Installation
The full install (recommended) requires 180Mb of your hard drive, 100Mb of which is a key file so you can run Dynamo V1.0 without the CD in your drive. This speeds up some operations so its the preferred mode of operation.
Copy protection rears its ugly head once again in the form of an occasional request to insert the original CD-ROM into your drive for verification. Not an unreasonable request but an inconvenience I could do well without. Copy protection has become more advanced so this sort of nonsense is no longer necessary. However, it could be worse, it could be a dongle.
System Requirements
As with all software synthersizers, the more processing power you have the better. You can run Dynamo V1.0 on a Pentium 266MHz machine, but you will manage more notes and simultaneous sounds with a faster one.
The minimum system requirements for the Mac are OS 8.0 or higher, 604e/250 MHz, and 64Mb RAM. For the PC you can use Windows 95/98/2000 or NT 4.0, with a minimum of a Pentium 266MHz and 64Mb RAM.
The choice of soundcard can be crucial to your long-term enjoyment, some offer low latency to give an almost instant keyboard response, while others can make playing software synthersizers from a keyboard feel right gooey. This depends largely on the soundcard driver design, and cant always be predicted.
Any Instrument can be used to try out Dynamo V1.0s real-time performance, optimise the Play Ahead setting for your particular soundcard by reducing the setting until you start to get audio clicks, and then edge it back up to the next higher setting.
My SoundBlaster Live worked on the lowest 10mS setting, and playing Dynamo V1.0 from a MIDI keyboard felt very responsive, but other cards may not prove so successful. However, NI also provide downloadable demo versions of their software, and apart from giving you a taster of the sounds on offer, these will also let you try out the products with your own soundcard to see how it performs.
Active Loop Zone tracks are available on Myspace. Further details can be got by contacting Rick Lomas. Rick is currently working on various websites selling mortgage payment protection insurance.

Lara Fabian, The True Personification of Live Performances
If you haven't seen Lara Fabian perform live, you are missing a lot. Blessed with a beautiful voice and exceptional songwriting ability makes Lara a joy to listen to. But her talents are not restricted to the ear only. It is a true joy to watch her perform live on stage. One of the biggest reasons why her live shows are such a success is due to the fact that she makes the audience part of the show. Many artists consume all the attention during a live show and leave no participation to the audience. Shows like these are one-way shows, you sit back listen and watch and go home. With Lara Fabian it's different, you feel like you are part of the stage performance. It is not strange when the crowd almost completely sings Je T'aime when Lara performs that specific song. This was seen during her Nue tour and you will almost get this phenomenon during any live performance when she sings Je T'aime. The best of all is the fact that Lara doesn't mind to give the spotlight once in a while to the crowd.
Her live shows are a whole mix of all sorts of entertainment. She adds a bit of humor in between songs by telling a joke or two or by making a witty comment. She is an extremely good dancer and her dance moves on stage really adds some special flavor to her shows. Her energetic approach is very contagious and this was seen during her PBS special, From Lara With Love. Young and old jumping was jumping for joy when she performed I Will Love Again. Her Pure and Nue concerts were both very energetic shows. The tone of her En Toute Intimit concert was much like her 9-album, sedated and calm, but still it had the elements of humor and pure musical excellence.
Musical excellence is the other element that makes her shows so special. Exceptional talented musicians, compliment her music on each and every show. Crowds fell in love with the band used during the Baden Baden, From Lara With Love and Nue concerts. But the ones that really stand out are the pianist Pierre Grimard, bass guitarist, Rmy Malo and the guitarist, Rejean Lachance, the background vocalist, Kim Richardson and the percussionist and background vocalist, Dorian Sherwood. They are part of the total recipe that makes Lara's shows so great to watch. Lara gives each and every musician on stage the chance to be in the spotlight, even though she's the main attraction of the show. It is this humble approach by every artist on stage, including Lara, which brings out the true talent of the other artists. You never get the sense that they are competing against each other, or try to steal the spotlight, they always act in perfect harmony, as a team.
Lara is known for altering the style and tone of her songs on her live shows. I Will Love Again have a distinct pop style, but Lara performed a ballad version of the song during her PBS special. During her Nue tour she performed Humana in a tropical tone, while it has an African tone on her Pure-album. She performed Tout in a bossa nova style during her 9-concert and one of the highlights of her Pure-concert was the Soul/Rap style performance of Rveille-Toi Brother. It is illustrative of Lara's talent to take a song and make something special of it, something out of the ordinary, even if it is her own music.
One must not forget to give credit to the director of most of Lara's shows, Rick Allison. He perfected most of Lara's ideas into very successful performances. Teamwork, determination, vibrant ideas, exceptional musical talent, charisma, and having a true passion for music, the ingredients for a super live performance. If you mix them right, you will please the fans and have them beg for more. Lara Fabian gets the mix right every time and that is why she is one of the best live performers of our time.
Coenraad de Beer is a huge fan of Lara Fabian. Visit the Lara Full Of Grace Forum for interesting views and discussions about Lara Fabian and her music.
