Korg #9 entered the studio this week. That's not to say I have nine Korgs in the studio now, but it's the ninth Korg I've purchased. The multi/poly is an extremely capable analog modeling…
It's Monday, and here's another Live Stream from the Disaster Room. There's been a little rearrangement in the studio again, in preparation for the incoming multi/poly and the addition of…
It's Monday, and here's another Live Stream from the Disaster Room. Let's start a controversy! I go first and tell you what I think the best analog polysynth money can buy is (and what y…
It's obvious. We're talking about the new Korg multi/poly, as well as Korg's other RPi synths, and modern synths in general. This should be interesting! Do join in! Rough timeline: 0:00 B…
It's Monday, and time for another Live Stream from the Disaster Room. But wait, there's more! Here we go again with another "workstation" VST. During last week's stream @krazyw…
Monday night, and time for another Live Stream from the Disaster Room. But wait, there's more! * Yet another wavetable VST has popped up, this time it's Babylon 2, the sequel to Babylon fro…
An ambient live jam recorded August 12, 2024 during my regular Monday night live stream on YouTube. Flying With Floyd features my Polybrute Noir (proving that, even with the shiny new version out, the…
Jammin' first this week, then chatter! Simple as that. Musically, the Polybrute and Take 5 ended up taking center stage, along with the Wavestate Native plugin and a little bit of OpSix for some…
I have, in the past, mentioned the Roland GAIA synthesizer, and have said that it could well be a "perfect" synth. Indeed, during its 13 years of production, it was a preferred instrument for teaching about synthesis and sound design in schools and universities everywhere. So, I was naturally quite…
Seems Korg listened and learned that, for the price, the Nautilus workstation didn't offer everything that customers want, so they've made new versions with aftertouch. Still not poly aftertou…
![Watchin' Your [op]six...](/content/images/size/w1000/format/webp/wp-content/uploads/opsix_se.png)
Hot on the heels of the Wavestate mkII, SE, and SE Platinum, Korg have just announced the opsix SE and SE Platinum. Like the Wavestate models, they've basically repackaged the guts from the standard model in a new case and substituted the excellent 61-key keybed alleged to be from the Kronos. And al…
![The State of Wave[state]](/content/images/size/w1000/format/webp/wp-content/uploads/wavestate-mkii.jpg)
Back in 2020 or thereabouts (thenabouts?), Korg reinvented the Wavestation, and called it the wavestate. With four complete wave sequencing synth engines and the ability to mix and morph between them, the wavestate packed a lot of punch in its 37-key body, and pushed the Raspberry Pi Compute Module…
