"Delights of Kyoto" - Akai MPC + Roland SH4d + Roland OpSix + Arturia MiniFreak +

video upload by Patrick Manderson

"'Delights of Kyoto' was recorded live late Saturday afternoon on 3/2/2024 using a MIDI sequencer and a room full of synthesizers and audio gear. All automation was programmed into the Akai MPC X. Some manual tweaks on the Midas console was made during recording.

Inspired by YouTube videos of Japanese restaurants and diners - 'Kyoto' was developed using the Roland SH4d as a drum synthesizer, paired with my usual synthesized drum kit on the Korg Radias and some excellent Hydrasynth patches developed by @Jexus. Voice synthesis on the Arturia MINIFREAK and various pads, plucks, stabs and noises provided by the Sequential REV2, Roland JP-8080, Korg OpSix among others.

The most significant addition to this music is a careful degree of live mixing using the Midas Venice F24 running a stereo mix through the Warm Audio Bus Compressor.

NAMM 2024 - Korg - Desktop Modules

video upload by sonicstate

"Korg has a ton of new products on display at NAMM 2024, including these desktop module versions of the Opsix, ModWave, and WaveState synthesizers. These modules are based on the Mark II keyboard counterparts and provide extra polyphony and voicing. They come in a rack form and offer an adjustable format that adds a touch of luxury. Despite their premium appearance, the modules are priced the same or slightly less than their keyboard counterparts. With increased polyphony and processing power, these desktop modules provide a significant upgrade compared to the SE versions, all while maintaining affordability. The release date for these modules is set for later in the year, with an anticipated availability in early summer.

Prices TBC."

Korg Introduces New modwave mk II Wavetable Synthesizer

"Introducing the Modwave mkII! With unparalleled polyphony, hugely upgraded LFOs, and more."

Details follow.

"Synthesis powerhouse with distinctive wavetable timbres, Kaoss Physics, and Motion Sequencing 2.0.

Introducing modwave mkII - now with almost double the polyphony, expanded free-running LFOs, and more!

In 1985, KORG's DW-8000 combined digital wavetables with rich analog filters to give users sounds which were impossible to create with analog oscillators. It's still a cult favorite today.

modwave builds on the DW legacy and transforms it into a modern monster synth, featuring incredibly deep wavetable oscillators, gorgeous filters, wildly flexible modulation, unmatched polyphony, comprehensive pattern sequencing, and immediately satisfying hands-on control to deliver unique, powerful, and easily customizable sounds and phrases.

modwave also introduces two unique new tools for creating dynamic motion: Kaoss Physics and Motion Sequencing 2.0. Kaoss Physics combines an x/y Kaoss pad with modulatable game physics to create a responsive, interactive controller that is—besides being powerful— a lot of fun to explore. Motion Sequencing 2.0 brings the organic, continuously evolving patterns of the wavestate's Wave Sequencing 2.0 into the world of motion sequencing, including multiple lanes and real-time recording to help you create complex and evolving phrases that other step sequencers cannot.

Like Wave Sequencing 2.0 (wavestate) and altered FM (opsix), modwave’s evolved wavetable synthesis delivers its own brand of completely unique sounds and a knob-per-function layout that makes customizing those sounds fast and easy. There are hundreds of preset sounds empowered by this new architecture, organized by front-panel category buttons, and all instantly customizable via the four Mod Knobs. modwave's distinctive wavetable timbres start with aggressive basses & leads, and lush ambient pads which will add a new dimension to your tracks. But that is just the beginning.

Those who want to dig deeper will find an endless source of discovery; with the modwave’s unique synth architecture, you'll be finding new things for a long, long time. Save as many of your sounds as you like; there's room for thousands more. You can also load your own samples, import wavetables in standard formats, and create your own wavetables using the free WaveEdit software.

The new modwave mkII provides an astonishing 60 voices of polyphony - almost double the original modwave's 32, and an unprecedented number for a wavetable synth at any price. Responding to user requests, we've updated all LFOs with options for free running, delayed start, and retriggering. We've also added a pre/post switch for reverb sends, new modulation sources, and more."

"Lost and Found" feat. Peter MacLean & Mike Tucker

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"This original composition features the incredible Peter MacLean (Maceo Parker) on drums and Mike Tucker (Arturo Sandoval) on tenor saxaphone as special guests. I wrote the core of this tune for the @rhodesmusic Missing Keys contest, as the backing track for James Smith's @YardActBand spoken word. I was spurred on by the challenge to write something specific, and I liked the vibe of what I came up with enough to finish it off as a complete song on its own. So I constructed some melodies, sax solo section and put an arrangement together for this special rendition with Peter and Mike sitting in, doing the magical things that they do.

Follow Pete here: https://www.instagram.com/makshimach/


I used my Rhodes MKIII EK10 which I restored a few years ago: [posted here]

Then I also used the Funk Bass sound from my Korg Opsix, a ring-mod solo lead I made on my miniKORG 700fs, and various sounds from my Arturia Polybrute.

Here's my original entry to the Rhodes Missing Keys contest, so you can hear where it came from:
