Stolen Gear - Moog Sub Phatty, Akai MPK49


via Christina Horn on Facebook

"Our new (to us) van was broken into last night. In it was my brand new MOOG SubPhatty [ SN SUB04392 ] synthesizer, my main keyboard controller [ Akai MPK49 K11205024611729 ], projector and other things that are imperative for our show to happen. There were a rash of burglaries last night in the Cedar Bluff area where the van was parked. If you see any of these items on EBAY, CRAIGS LIST or at a pawn shop please let me know. The police are helping but it's really up to us to find the stolen items. I have a feeling that together we can do this. Please share this poster as much as you can-together we can accomplish more. I've tagged a few friends who have had experience with these things but tag more. Hugs. And thanks to Reenie Popawheelie for the poster: — with Bill Foster, Greg Horne, Tim Lee and 15 others."

BTW, see the stolen channel below for other reports that have come in over the years.

Minibrute drone


Published on Feb 10, 2014 UncertainMusicCorps·52 videos

"It's a Minibrute. Doing a little drone. With BC8 support. And no FX other than some v light reverb to hold things together. Recorded direct to camera.

Done for a friend as a quick, one-off demo, to demonstrate the versatility of this excellent little synth."

Korg Volca Series (Where The Buffalo Roam)


Published on Feb 10, 2014 Metatron's Cube·42 videos

"This one is two Bass' and a Beats, with an Akai MPX8 for samples. Unfortunately the camera decided to not record the session. So, personal footage from driving in the snow was used( it fits with where the samples came from, "Where the Buffalo Roam (1980)"). Openshot Video Editor was used in Ubuntu for the effects and video production.

Also as added info, the car in the video is now dead/crashed ( and this is a send off of sorts), after being in a multicar pile up this past Friday. Fotunately, it kept me safe and took all the damage for the most part(several cars had even flipped and rolled!). Where the Buffalo Roam was the last thing I had seen before the accident and became the target of samples. So, on with the music!

Also new buck rogers music on que for upload(and the video worked on that one thankfully)."

A Review of KORG Gadget and it's List of Synths by Myagi


Check out the full review on Warp Academy. This was going to be a cross post review with Myagi's approval, but I opted to link to the full review and only capture the notes on each synth below as you don't see the full list often.  In short though, Gadget is Miyagi approved.  :)

"Gadget is a different beast than we’ve really seen on the iPad before. It’s not a single synth like the iMS-20 or the Arturia iMini, but rather a 'suite' of mini-instruments tied together with a fairly robust sequencer (by mobile standards anyway).

There was no skimping on this collection, with 15 total offerings. Instead of taking the approach of one instrument doing everything, the 'Gadgets' allow the entire app to function as a sort of audio swiss army knife, with specific instruments filling specific roles.

The Gadgets

London is the suite’s main percussion contribution. The samples are better than expected, bordering on excellent to be honest, and there is a good amount of dynamic optimization to make sure you can get appropriate thwack out of your main elements.

Chicago is essentially a 303-style emulator. This Gadget includes some pretty nice onboard effects as well as a built in tube overdrive simulation. A nice arpeggiator and scale selection actually allows for the rapid creation of some pretty inspired acidic hooks. I’d buy this alone as a VST/AU instrument.

Marseille is basically a sound bank of the essentials. Piano samples, string samples, etc. Really this is a utility module used to cover a lot of bases. Not the most interesting but a necessary inclusion. A built in chord function expands its repertoire a little.

Brussels is optimized for big detuned leads and is a go to for big electro-anthem style leads. Doesn’t sound bad actually, but not my bag personally as I tend to think this type of sound is pretty overused. A good amount of depth though for sure.

Kiev is a vector based synth, and for those who haven’t played with vector synths before, you’re in for a treat. They are GREAT for specially intricate drones. This guy is a lot of fun.

Phoenix - with its Oberheim style front panel, this polyphonic virtual analog is a nod to the OB-8 etc., and fills the role nicely. Big 80s style leads and chord sounds abound, and it’s not a slouch for bass sounds either.

Dublin takes us back to a familiar Korg lineage. It’s like a little second cousin to the MS-20 series, with a degree of patchability and modular style controls. Pretty deep for part of a 15 pack if I don’t saw so myself. This one will look after all your weird bleeps and bloops.

Miami I expected to dislike, but once I got over the lowest common denominator graphics and styling, I was impressed. It was bound to show up somewhere – this Gadget is the 'wobble synth' that will probably see a ton of use. Designed to help easily produce dubstep style basstones, it actually sounds pretty darn good, and the LFO sync automates REALLY well.

Tokyo is an interesting inclusion but a welcome one. It allows for some really cool adjustments on analog style percussion sounds. Think 808 style controls on pitch, etc. and you’re in the ballpark. Pretty flexible and damn if I don’t love some distorted analog toms.

Wolfsberg allows for digital control of analog style sounds. I mean – this is ALL digital control, but in this case, the analog waveforms have been optimized in a nice unit with tons of modulation capabilities and a pretty deep sound. Not one of the go-to’s per se, but a nice Gadget nonetheless and capable of some really nice sounds with its additional envelope and effects.

Berlin - now we’re getting into some interesting stuff. Designed to produce tearing hard sync leads, this is a tiny beast. Funk abounds.

Helsinki could well have just been called Boards of Canada. An ambient synth, it combines great waveforms with really nice sounding reverberations and some chipset style degradations. Melodic and deep.

Chiang Mai utilizes VPM – or Variable Phase Modulation – and is a cousin to FM in terms of sound. Great for clangourous tones and metallic elements, this Gadget works for 80s leads or even some intricate, high harmonic bass tones. Korgs work with VPM in other synths has produced a really easily workable high timbre sound source.

Amsterdam is a sort of 'dub siren' utility, full of decorative one shots and transition noises. Lots of things here that you COULD do with other modules – not my favorite but I’m sure it’ll get some use by anyone looking to produce entirely within this virtual 'box.'

Kingston is a wicked little chiptune Gadget, capable of video-game style leads and effects, and is heavy on the lo-fi digital vibes. Total essential."
