Published on Sep 13, 2019 sonicstate

"YES! We finally got to play one, the Memorymoog is a classic, almost mythical, its a 6 voice (yeah we thought 8 too) analogue poly with the Moog filter. Almost a polyphonic Minimoog, but with a few differences. We only had limited time with it, but boy does it sound huge. Thanks to Ham Plaza for the borrow"

Knobcon 2019: Conductive Labs MRCC - MIDI Router Control Centre

Published on Sep 13, 2019 sonicstate

"It is funnny how things go in circles, if you had said that a MIDI router would be an interesting new product in 2019 we probably wouldn't have believed you. However with more and more devices without MIDI thru ports and with different types of MIDI on 3.5MM jacks something like the Conductive Labs MRCC is starting to look very promising.

The workflow of a device like this needs to be simple and effective. The MRCC looks like it covers all those bases. In this video you can see how easy it is to make new MIDI routing options. You can support this project on their kickstarter now."

Roland SH 7 Korg SQ1 Reon Driftbox R

Published on Sep 12, 2019 UFO LFO

"An attempt to get the Roland SH and the Reon working together fiddling with the SQ 1 settings. Trying to get my head around analog sequencing. The Korg will sequince the SH 7 the Mono station will not so far. I have not looked into mess with the settings. I suspect my analog 4 can handle the SH 7 it's the gate that seems to be above 5 volt positive."
