Introducing the MicroKORG XL+ MicroKORG Red & Black Anniversary Editions

Ten years of Micro -- An introduction to the MicroKorg XL+

YouTube Published on Sep 3, 2012 by KORGINC

Follow-up to the new KORG KROME Music Workstation

"With its unmistakably unique exterior and its inimitable sound, the microKorg set the standard for analog modeling synthesizers. The year 2008 saw the introduction of the microKorg XL, which inherited the microKorg's fat and powerful sounds, while adding keyboard staples such as electric piano and the CX-3 organ. And now, in the next evolutionary step, the microKorg XL+ delivers a fresh update to the sounds and design of the microKorg XL, making it the ideal compact keyboard.

何ともユニークな外観と、代えの効かない本格サウンドでアナログ・モデリング・シンセサイザーのスタンダード・モデルとなったmicroKORG。その太く力強いサウンド­を引き継ぎつつ、エレピやCX-3のオルガンなど、キーボードとしての機能を充実させたmicroKORG XLが2008年に登場しました。microKORG XL+は、microKORG XLのサウンドやデザインをブラッシュ・アップ。ユーザーがこのコンパクトなキーボードに期待する理想を追求し、更なる進化を遂げました。

"micro 10th Anniversary Colour Variations
microKORG / microKORG XL+ / microKEY-25 / microKEY-37

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the microKORG!
The microKORG / microKORG XL+ / microKEY-25 / microKEY-37 are now available in two limited-edition special-colour premium editions for each model.

<-- Available November 2012 -->

Since its introduction in 2002, the Korg microKORG virtual analog synthesizer has achieved enormous popularity among professional and amateur musicians. Even today, it continues to play a major role worldwide, still preserving the same style in which it was introduced ten years ago, and is deservedly remembered as the original member of the "micro" series which followed it. In 2007, we celebrated the fifth anniversary of the microKORG's inception by releasing the microKORG BK, with its black/white reversed keyboard; this drew a great deal of attention thanks to its cool reversed keyboard, which is reminiscent of the reversed keys of the classic POLY-800.

Now in 2012, as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the birth of the microKORG, Korg is happy to announce two limited-edition colour variation models for each unit in the micro series. The Full Black model sports a black finish on the white keys, and the Black & Red model features a black and red reversed keyboard that’s sure to inspire your performance. For the musician who wants their unique personality to shine, these custom colours will be emblematic of their style.

The lineup includes a total of four products: the microKORG, the new microKORG XL+ with its updated sounds and design, and the microKEY-25 and microKEY-37, which can create a stellar compact music production setup. The micro series is always ready to play an active role in any situation; on stage, in the studio, or at home and these new limited edition colour models will emanate more personality than ever before.

*Serial number 1 for each of the four models of the microKORG / microKORG XL+ will be the prizes for the winners of the "microMADNESS VIDEO Contest".

4MS ABG and Bleep Labs Nebulaphone


YouTube Published on Sep 4, 2012 by ISOTROPOSPHERE

"My first electronic projects, ever. Thank you to 4MS and Bleep Labs for your wonderful kits, excellent instructions and an over all fun build.

That is right, I took the plunge and fired up the soldering iron my Dad gave to me. I decided to undertake a build and save a little money from buying these items built.

Each one took my about two hours to complete and that was due to my inexperience and due dilligance to triple check everything before soldering and final assembly. Bent the pin on one of the chips during the final install on the ABG, bent back fine and inserted chip. One of the two large caps on the final step for the Nebulaphone I soldered in the wrong place, had to remove and re solder in correct location. These were tthe only two problems I had.

Fun builds, fun products, highly recommended."

DrumJam for iPad - First impression & App Details


YouTube Published on Sep 4, 2012 by nakanosyun

"It is workmanship of according to expectation. It is very funny percussion application."

DrumJam - Sonosaurus LLC

"DrumJam is a whole new world of percussion and drums for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Designed by award winning international percussionist Pete Lockett and Sonosaurus LLC, the developer of ThumbJam, this app is a real first for percussion. It's an exciting and powerful tool, opening up the world of rhythm in a completely hands-on and inspiring way. Whether you are a novice just looking for a bit of rhythmic fun, a songwriter or producer looking for a fresh rhythmic idea, a percussion student writing arrangements for a project, a music teacher looking for rhythm ideas to teach, or a drum circle facilitator seeking to expand their repertoire, this app has something for you.

★★ Launch Sale -- 50% off -- limited time only!! ★★

Pete Lockett has been top of his game for decades and has performed with the stars, from Peter Gabriel and Bjork to Robert Plant, Dido, Jeff Beck and many more. He has also worked extensively in the film industry, arranging and recording all the ethnic percussion for five Bond 007 films. The app is a direct and personal route to his rhythm factory with all the individual percussion parts recorded by Pete. These are not ineffective sequenced patterns but actual recorded audio waiting to groove with rhythm at multiple tempos through your very own mobile device.

Through his decades of studio experience Pete has become a master of layering various percussion instruments into mesmerising rhythm fabrics and flowing grooves. Shakers and congas interwoven with Indian ghatam, pop drum set and Arabic req or else a Carnatic kanjira with some Cuban bongos, Latin cowbells, rock drum kit, seed shakes and surdu. There are dozens of different looped instruments to choose from, each with up to 20 different patterns. You can change the levels, alter the pan, mute, solo, and tweak a low-pass filter giving you a great degree of flexibility over each individual part. Or simply press the random button to randomise all (or some) the parts and get some really funky and unexpected changes. It can even automatically randomise periodically for hands-free unpredictability. The excellent time stretch system and multiple-tempo loop recordings mean that you can get great natural sounding audio across a wide tempo range.

Pick from a wide range of solo instruments where you can jam away over the top of the grooves you create. These include all sorts of ethnic percussion instruments from Kanjira and Ghatam, to Djembe, Bongos, Dube and Cajon, and more. There are also custom drum kits from great drummers such as Johnny Rabb, Russ Miller, KJ Sawka, Dave Langguth, Steve Sidelnyk and Scott Pellegrom. With a detailed and complete range of quantize options performed by simply dragging your fingers around, it is possible for even the absolute novice to get some funky grooves immediately.

There are also incredible filter, pitch bend, delay, reverb, lofi, and distortion effects available for the solo instruments, which really adds a whole new dimension of live performance possibilities. With multiple save and export options, it is possible to record loops or a whole performance to later import into your DAW or other audio app as 44.1kHz 16-bit WAV files. This is great for studio use and can form the basis of a new song idea very easily.

DrumJam supports export via iTunes file sharing, open directly in another app, email, AudioCopy, and export to SoundCloud. There is support for background audio, and a comprehensive MIDI implementation that supports clock sync in and out to lock in with whatever you have via CoreMidi to/from hardware devices, network MIDI, or other apps using virtual MIDI ports. You can even play the solo kits externally triggered via MIDI input, and output your live pad performance via MIDI output!

Whatever you do in music, we are certain there is a use for DrumJam in your world. Give it a try and join forces with an ancient percussive energy."

Family Gathering v4


YouTube Published on Jun 25, 2012 by RandyPiscione

"Two Shruthis, one SMR and one 4PM, driven by Phaedra running on an iPad 2. Two busses are sent to MIDI channel 1 on the 4PM, and two are sent to MIDI channel 2 on the SMR. Both Shruthis are in Duo mode. The lead and pads are provided by a Kurzweil 2600XS and a Korg MicroStation. This was performed live, it's really just some noodling. A bit of variety is provided by turning the Phaedra busses on and off manually as the sequence is playing. Each bus on the Phaedra is a different length, which also helps move things around a bit.

My son, Ray, took the video, with a Sony point and shoot."
