Synth Rorschach #64: Moon Rocks

Where does NASA keep the Moon Rocks? - Smarter Every Day 220 Published on Jul 9, 2019 SmarterEveryDay

The source of Formant knobs. Moon rocks!

OK, this one is a bit of stretch, but when I saw the small thumbnail for this video on YouTube, my first thought was, "did SmarterEveryDay do a video on modular synths?!". For a split second I thought that was a Formant modular in the background. In the larger still above it now reminds me of square Mattson Mini Modular panels with Formant knobs.

Koala Sampler | iPhone Pocket Operator? - haQ attaQ

Published on Jul 9, 2019 Jakob Haq

"Elf Audio's Koala Sampler for iPhone and iPad, is a sampler app that in many ways resembles a Pocket Operator. Koala Sampler has a sleek looking interface that is straightforward and easy to work with. Apart from the basic sampling features, it also adds some very nice no-hassle resampling options. And on top of that it also comes with global effects including stutter, rhythmic gating, reverb and tempo delay to name a few, stuff one wants to have access to when performing live. Check this out!"

Summary: "Korg PolySix Analog Polyphonic Synth w/ Kiwisix Power & MIDI Upgrades, Tubbutec Polysex OSC Mod, Synthgraphics Overlay, New LA Synth Co Key Contacts, New Switches, Original Manual, And Vintage Ad"

Additional details: "Korg Polysix with Kiwisix power supply replacement, Kiwisix PCB/MIDI firmware upgrade, Synthgraphics Kiwisix control panel decal, brand new replacement key contacts from LA Synth Co, new push switches, and a Tubbutec "Polysex" OSC mod (using original Polysix knobs to match).

All of these improvements effectively create the modern Polysix we'd all love to see from Korg. Check out the embedded video to see how the Polysex adds a completely new dynamic to the trusty Polysix. The keys on this unit really do feel nice after the contact upgrade and the switch replacements go a long way for ease of use. No more dropped notes or button presses!"
