Bad Gear - Korg OpSix

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Korg OpSix. Is this next level frequency modulation synthesizer with its faltered FM synthesis a Yamaha DX7 on steroids or is it just another Korg 'OopsSix' with its build quality issues and plasticy enclosure? Is it the best FM synth for beginners???"

FIVE MINUTES WITH The Roland AIRA S1

video upload by sonicstate

"Yes, we posted our review of the Roland AIRA Compact S1 just the other day, be sure to check it out if you want to know more...

True story: Chris B from @BOOelectric got hold of his very own S1 sent this in, so we thought we'd wait until our review was up before posting. You can see that Chris got along just fine with it.
For such a tiny device, its packs a suprising amount of punch.

Enjoy"
