SNAMM08: Korg Nano Announcement

flickr by Ricardipus

full size

"A digital-analogue hybrid synthesizer from the mid-1980s. For those so inclined, it had weedy sounding oscillators, deadly fat 24dB/octave Curtis analogue low-pass filters, a raft of LFOs, and a rather dodgy keyboard action. I bought mine new. Loved it then, love it now.

Some examples of this and other electronic junk from the 80s and 90s can be heard on the audio clips at the bottom of the right-hand sidebar of this site."

Enjoy! I forgot to mention it in the video but I did tape about an hours worth of my trip to California/Nevada/Arizona. You'll see edits or so called episodes soon accompanied by original music. I'll also post a link to a picture site soon for my subscribers to see if wanted."
