Roland Jupiter-Xm "iArpeggio Juno Grooves"
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
***Watch in HD!!*** ***Turn It Up!*** ***No Talking!!!***

The Roland Jupiter-Xm has arrived & it's worth every penny!
The Roland Jupiter-Xm iArpeggio is a mixed bag for some,
-yes it can be difficult to control at first but when you "get it"
grooves start to come alive! The first half of this demo is "meh"
but half way thru it gets bumping! I dig the iArpeggio now!
Many more videos are being filmed & are on their way!
STAY TUNED! :)

"Athena" 172g Moroccan Stone Chondrite

Korg MS20ic To Get an Update?

Thought this was interesting. The KORG MS20ic was KORG's first mini MS20 controller for their Legacy software sweet that including a model of the MS20. It also worked with the iPad/iOS version. Someone sent the following to an email list I'm on. Curious what else might be coming for it, and why? It's interesting that KORG would be putting resources on this.

(For those who don't know what I'm talking about, it's the old Korg controller that looks like a miniature and cute MS20.)

I emailed Korg support to ask why the LED lights for the Env and Gate etc only work on the iMS20 version, not the VST or standalone app (which is really just a VST host, anyway). This has been an issue on the MS20ic for a long time.

Korg Support USA wrote back:

"We are currently looking into this issue of the EG LED not lighting up and will try to resolve it in the next update."

I am very excited. There is a lot of charm in those flashing little red LED.

Keep your fingers crossed, fellow Korg Legacy users!

Artist DIY: Vicky Clarke

FACTmagazine

"Artist DIY is a series of videos made by artists in collaboration with FACT in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FACT edits each episode remotely, while the artist shoots at their home or studio with whatever equipment they have available. In this episode, Manchester sound artist Vicky Clarke talks us through some of the DIY instruments and techniques she uses to make music.

Prior to the pandemic, Clarke worked on a project called Materiality, in which she combines physical materials and digital processes to build sound sculptures, and a collaborative project, Noise Orchestra. More recently Clarke has built an interface for Ableton Live using a revolutionary material called graphene, which she demonstrates in this episode.

Whilst in lockdown, Clarke has taken inspiration from a recent project in Russia focusing on machine learning to develop SleepStates, a browser-based artwork exploring feelings of online perpetuity and the sleep-like limbo of quarantine.

Clarke is part of Manchester’s music, art and technology scene, working to help communities and young people. She works with emerging musicians charity Brighter Sound and is part of local audiovisual community Test Card.

Clarke is also a creative associate at Future Everything, an organistion that has been exploring the intersection of technology, art and culture since 1995. She’s currently working on her first release – follow her on Twitter and Instagram for updates.

Korg 900PS preset analog synth

"The Tremolo effect and the “repeat” switch are not working. Also, from time to time (but not very often) it goes a semi-tone out of tune for about a second.

I guess it could be fixed by replacing the right capacitors.

All the rest is working perfectly. All the switch and knobs were cleaned and lubricated.

The wooden veneers were in poor condition, so a sticky wood-like veneer was added.


This was bought for a university project only, I don’t need it anymore so it’s just taking space. These are quite expensive even with defects (like mine)."

This is a bit of a joke post. The keys, followed by that slider.

"This Juno-106 analogue synthesizer is in good working order and is supplied in a hard carrying case.

There is one knob missing from the PWM slider (see photo), but the slider works fine."
