Great DIY module designed by Yusynth. It's a sample and hold / noise generator with a lot of features :

1 - Sample and Hold
2 - Internal clock source ( sample rate variable )
3 - Clock out
4 - White noise
5 - Pink Noise
6 - Random signal
7 - Can be used with external clock signal
8 - Slew rate ( glide time between pulses on S&H )

Very fun module with a lot of possibilities. This video show only a few, the video quality is poor because is phone camera, the audio was recorded on computer. At the end of the video I added external reverb and delay :)"

KORG MicroKORG Review with Demos

on khoral's Cafe 80

"First thing to notice about the MK is the nice retro design… Ok, maybe second thing… the first being the awful mini keys. Why O why? Let’s deal with that right away and move on : the biggest issue with the MK might be the keyboard, and no, making it black don’t change anything."

I like that intro. :)

There's a link on the right pane of the site when you get there. It appears to require Real Player.
