"Some darker vibes this time with some "friendly" elements. We need a little bit to get into the mood and as always a few mistakes included, problems with E2-Volume at 10:47 for example. Shame on me ;-) And i think a few sounds don't fit, but cause of the time there was only one try! Thanks for watching!

Roland TB-303 vs Korg Volca Bass


Published on Jan 14, 2016 SynthMania

"I know, I know... it's sort of a silly endeavor and also a bit unfair to compare a mega-classic that these days goes for $3K to a super-cute little $150 box... but I think both machines are great and each has their own unique character! I have to say, I am impressed by the whole Volca line (I recently got all four models and will be posting videos of the others soon). The filter resonance on the Volca Bass is incredible, by the way!"

Chroma Polaris


Published on Sep 14, 2015 centrevillage

"Chroma Polarisは元ARPの技術者が設計し、ARP倒産後にFenderからリリース­されたシンセサイザーらしいです。
不具合ありのものを手に入れたので、自分で修理して音を鳴らしてみました。
よい音してると思いますが、世の中がデジタルシンセに移行しつつある時期にリリースさ­れたことからあまり評価はされなかったようです。
なぜかそういう不憫なシンセに惹かれてしまうんですよね。"
