From a synth lover to synth lovers. In this blog I'll try to share my personal experiences with my synths and other electronic music equipment, from personal opinions about some of the equipment I have to more technical posts, as well as some performances in the middle. If you love synths as well, make sure to tune in!

SOUNDPACKS! - And if you want to listen to the Korg Minilogue sounds with some effects...
I just made available two new videos in which the Korg Minilogue is processed by the Eventide Space, again, using presets I created (for both machines).
SOUNDPACKS! - Preview of the Korg Minilogue Sound Pack!
It's only 15 sounds (out of over 200 I have managed to create for it), but I hope it serves as a good teaser! :)

This time, I tried to do the video a bit different, and recorded it during daytime, with the interface sided for the camera (so you should be able to read what the different controls are there for).

MEANWHILE - Welcome to a new friend! Yamaha PSS-280!
Unfortunately it really is the Yamaha PSS-280 and not a higher model in the same series...
And the price I paid was far from being less than 5€ or even a similar value...

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN - Akai MIDIMix
So, last week I ended up getting rid of my Akai MIDIMix, which I have used as my main MIDI controller in several performances here in Algarve!

Yep, I know I haven't posted much lately...
I had lots of stuff to deal with, but I fortunately found a time to post what I hope is an interesting post to all of you who have a Clavia Nord Modular and / or enjoy FM Synthesis!
