The IT Crowd's Matt Berry Talks About the MS-20 Mini

Published on Apr 30, 2014 Korg·450 videos

I always wished I'd spot a MATRIXSYNTH card somewhere in the IT Crowd's office. Matt Berry was also in The Mighty Boosh and featured a couple of times here on MATRIXSYNTH in the past. Unfortunately some of the videos have been pulled off of YouTube.

"Matt Berry is best known for his role in award winning comedy series The IT Crowd, from 2007 until the final episode in 2013. But Matt is also a talented musician, with his fourth album Kill the Wolf released last year to high acclaim.

KORG caught up with matt before show time at his London show to find out how KORG fits into his live rig.

WREN Open Source Modular Soft Synth for Windows

A bit reminiscent of the original Clavia Nord Modular editor.  You'll find full details here.

Via the info page:

"This is not a product, but just a lil hobby project that got out of control a bit. This software ain't good for anything and it will crash your PC too. That being out of the way, for questions or remarks please use the forum I made for this. I'm open for requests, but do not promise anything. I may fix bugs when it's easy to do so too! Contributions are welcomed :-)"
