"Korg MS-20 patch synthesizer analog monophonic"

Someone with an MS-10 try this patch and let me know what it sounds like.

Update via Seppe in the comments: "I wouldn't know what it sounds like on an MS-10, but on an MS-20, it sounds like this ;-)

Osmos for the iPhone

You might remember Osmos from some of these posts including video.

"Mark your calendar. I can confirm that Hemisphere Games are hard at work on bringing Osmos to the iPhone, and should be with us in around eight weeks or so.

It almost seems like the perfect game for the iPhone/ iPad."

Filtering acoustic drums through the Livewire Frequensteiner

YouTube via RothHandle
"An interesting day in the studio mostly due to the fact that I thought Id be working with one project but it turned out that I was doing some new rough mixes for the soundtrack me and Matti are working on...In this film I am working on a treatment on some drums I recorded using a filter from the eurorack modular system, the Livewire frequensteiner

This film was recorded at Roth Händle studos in Stockholm, Sweden. This is where I spend my days recording and producing artists...The studio started in my apartment and evolved slowly from there. This is the forth location of the studio. The first one obviously was at home...the second and third was at a abandoned shipyard outside of Stockholm. The studio works more or less in two ways either the artists come here to the studio or people send files that I work with...If you are curious to find out more about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu for more info, blogs and odd facts.

Thanks for watching,

Mattias"

"Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.13 Pink Floyd Synth Effects
By Bill Ruppert

"Welcome To The Machine" preformed on just a guitar and effect pedals.
Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we create a remarkable collection of impossible sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals!
No keyboards, samplers or midi pickups were used.

In this episode I recreate the classic Pink Floyd recording "Welcome To the Machine".
Using just effect pedals, I am able to reproduce the synthesizers and tape effects from this great record.
