CONCERT - Synth-ing Nº7!

So, last thursday it was time for Synth-ing Nº7!

This was a bit of a different performance to what I have done so far, with more actual playing with synths rather than relying on looper or sequencers to construct the performance.

The original Korg KaossPad, in BLUE!

Most of you are probably not aware of that, but there was a special blue edition of the original Korg KaossPad!

CONCERT - Synth-ing Nº7 starts in 10 minutes!

This night it will be time for something new, more "symphonic"!

NEWS - Korg Gadget for Mac OS / update for iOS is officially delayed...

It was supposed to be put out tomorrow, but it seems we will have to wait for it...

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN - Yamaha D1500, an amazing digital delay!

Since I am currently giving up on quite some gear to re-organize my small personal studio, I thought it would be interesting to start reviewing some equipment I ended up giving up on in this special "GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN" series!

CONCERT - Synth-ing Nº3!

First of all, I hope you enjoyed my performance!

And i you didn't have the opportunity to listen it live, be sure to listen to it now as it is available already!

CONCERT - In less than 10 minutes, at http://electro-music.com/radio/

Today is again performance time!

NEWS - Korg Gadget will be available at the 28th of February!

Finally, Korg is telling us when it will release the new Korg Gadget for Mac and how much it will cost!

Another performance with long long delays!

As you probably noticed, I didn't put a post this saturday as I was travelling...
To compensate you, while you wait for I'm sharing yet another performance making use of my Electrix Repeater as a very long delay!

Some departures in the groovebox department... - Korg Electribe 2 / Roland MC-09 - Part.1

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably remember my past post about why I'm not so keen on recent groove boxes - http://synth-ing.blogspot.pt/2017/01/why-im-not-big-fan-of-recent-grooveboxes.html

Now for something really really rare... Korg MP-100 and Korg RP-100!

If you never heard about them, that's not surprising, as these machines are really really rare!

An old eurorack modular experiment with a crippled system!

I know there are many demos of eurorack modular synthesizers available, some of them with truly monstrous systems!
But this post is about a simple demo I did when I started my eurorack modular system and which I hope shows you can still produce really nice sounds with a pretty crippled system!

Do you love real piano sounds? This is the sound module to have if you don't want to spend much!

This is the first time I share a video that isn't mine, but I think it is a really good video that shows how nice this old Korg module sounds for piano sounds!

Samplers versus the real thing! A first post about it!

Samplers versus the real thing is a topic that could definitely lead to a very lengthy post / discussion, and lots of examples would be convenient to prove a point.

Why I'm not a big fan of recent grooveboxes...

Grooveboxes are amazing tools for anyone doing electronic music, so I thought a topic about them would be more well timed now!
