KORG Announces New Volca Kick
KORG volca kick - ANALOGUE KICK GENERATOR
Published on Aug 31, 2016 Korg
Update: video above added.
And we have a new Volca dedicated to kick, bass, and sub bass sounds, based on an analog oscillator, and an oscillating filter from the original KORG MS-20.
Details via KORG:
"Korg Announces Latest Edition to volca Series with the volca kick
An Analog volca Designed to Deliver Powerful Percussive and Chromatic Kick, Bass, and Sub Bass Sounds
Melville NY - - September 1, 2016 - - With the latest edition of the ever-growing volca series, it’s all about massive kicks, toms, and basses. volca kick starts with a true-analog oscillator and offers drive and MS-20 resonator circuits to shape earth-shattering sounds that can be played and sequenced chromatically. It’s the perfect addition to any volca or desktop hardware set to bring serious boom to the user’s sound production.
As opposed to generating sounds using a typical sine wave, volca kick starts the sound of an oscillating filter from the original MS-20. The powerful filter of the MS-20 self-oscillates when resonance is increased to the maximum, and this is used to produce powerful kick sounds ranging from solid kick drums to crisp kick basses with complex overtones.
volca kick’s 16-step sequencer now has a new Touch FX feature, which provides one-touch sequencer variations and time divisions for even more live performance potential. The pattern chain function lets users connect multiple sequence patterns for successive playback, making it possible to construct large-scale developments of 32, 64, or even 256 steps by joining up to 16 sequences.
'The volca Series has consistently brought renewed attention to classic groove machines and historical synthesis. It now has a new focus. This time, it's the most important sound in dance music: the kick,' shares James Sajeva, Director of Technology Brands for Korg USA, Inc. Like all volcas, kick has a personality all its own, and combining it with other volcas or any other hardware adds unique character to users’ setups. The familiar Audio Sync connection means it plays exceptionally well with other volcas, minilogue, electribe and SQ-1, and the MIDI IN jack lets you use the volca kick as a sound module via DAW or MIDI controller.'
With its compact size, battery operation, and built-in speaker, it's easy to take the volca kick anywhere and perform any time. Available in October of 2016 for $159.99, to learn more or find a dealer visit www.korg.com"

Matt Crumar EVI / Oberheim Xpander Jam
Published on Aug 26, 2016 Patchman Music
"Just screwing around last night with my custom Crumar EVI with custom Steiner/Cooper MIDI interface, Oberheim XPander (my patches), Korg M3, and Eventide Eclipse. I am controlling the XPander with the Crumar EVI via the custom CV to Midi interface built by Nyle Steiner and JL Cooper and modded/tweaked by yours truly. So you are hearing a mix of the Xpander and the Crumar's built in analog synth for all the lead sounds.
Experimenting with direct stereo audio fed into my iPhone via a Roland Duo-Capture EX which available from Patchman Music here: http://www.patchmanmusic.com/roland.html"

Collector Quality Roland Juno-60 Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

"Absolutely stunning example of a vintage Roland Juno 60.
In collector quality cosmetic and working condition.
During our last run on the Joe Walsh tour, I came across this Juno at a tour stop in Florida.
It was living in a rehearsal closet in a private school's music department where it had been set up since new! Though my current interests lean more towards modular synths, I couldn't leave such a beautiful example behind. I cleaned it up and serviced the faders and pots with Deoxit Gold and Faderlube. Everything sounds great without any scratches or pops. You would be hard pressed to find any significant imperfections in the metal or wood ends.
She is ready for her new home!"
