Korg minilogue demo

Published on Apr 2, 2016 Michael Kukat

"Okay, why not? I usually don't do synth reviews because i have more clue about their inner workings than the sound quality. So this one is more from an engineer's point of view than from a musician's one, but maybe someone finds it interesting.

I usually avoid buying more studio gear because i neither have the talent nor the time to make music besides my other hobbies, but Korg is very successful in selling me stuff like Volcas and now this minilogue, because you get a serious amount of fun for the money. While Volcas are simple plastic boxes and (besides the fun factor) not much more than you would expect for the price, the minilogue really has an impressive overall quality for the money and while it still has some minor firmware bugs here and there, it's stable enough meanwhile to have lots of fun with it.

I recorded audio from the synth in higher quality, but as the audio path was different from than the one i heard on my speakers, i didn't notice that my level adjustment i performed before wasn't optimal for some situations. So there are some distortions here and there that don't come from the synth. But most of the audio track sounds okay."

Knas Ekdahl Moisturizer 'demo'

Published on Apr 2, 2016 Peter Maas

"Some folks on the 'Synthesizer Freaks' group were interested in practical use of the the Knas Moisturizer in a synthesizer context. Made a quick video while working on a patch to illustrate this. No post processing, all reverb/overdrive/filtering done by the Moisturizer. Filter amount is modulated lightly by an LFO in the Modular."

One synthe that captured my interest was the Modor NF-1. A very digital synth with handy envelopes, a bit different sounding noises and a beautiful formant filter. I had the opportunity to talk with the creator of the synth, about the process of turning his hobbies into a real project, and singlehandedly coming up with this synthesiser. Also taking it for a spin in the end myself, exploring different aspects of the synth. I found it to be lush, sharp and lovely. It's taking advantage of the digital heritage in a very charming way, while also being able to go a bit wonky :)"

An alliance of music app developers called Musik App Manufaktur had a very nice performance with iOS apps here at Superbooth 16. They're clearly showing that mobile app music is not just something fun to play around with while you're waiting for the bus. No, these are highly capable of high performance stuff, also controlling modulars and syncing over Ableton link. Good stuff."
