Akin to an E8 Illuminati, Hackney's most intimate equivalent to a secret society, the Boiler Room, has quite rightly become a London institution over the course of these last few years. And indeed were it ever in need of another natural born leader, that could quite ostensibly be the endearingly awkward Jon Hopkins whose Immunity  LP, released just last week, stands out a striking early frontrunner in the inevitable album of the year litanies doubtless to emerge once this so-called summer's out. Provided it ever sneaks in that is, for at this rate [...]

Korg is releasing this awesome version of the classic Korg M1 for Nintendo 3ds via Nintendo eShop, perfect for house music. Check it out!

Korg announces the volca series of analog synthesizers. The volca series is a new lineup consisting of three units: the volca Keys lead Synthesizer, the volca Bass synthesizer, and the volca Beats rhythm machine. These units let you create a diverse array of fat sounds that can only be obtained from an analog synthesizer; and you can generate intuitive phrase performances using the loop sequencer. Multiple units can be used in tandem, or together with your DAW software.

If you think that analog is dead, think again. Korg have, much to our delight, announced the release of Korg MS-20 Mini during the NAMM show earlier this year. Despite dubbed the "Mini", it's actually the real thing: an uber cool, semi-modular patchable mono synth that comes at the fraction of price, size and weight of the original. The keys does seem to be a bit smaller but I don't see this as a problem at all. As a modern product, it's also free from typical maintenance nightmares usually found when you buy a 20-30 year [...]

Todo aquel amante de la producción de música electrónica sabe (o debe saber), sobre las ventajas de usar equipo físico sobre instrumentos virtuales, una de las cuales es la calidad del sonido. Por otro lado, también es necesario conocer las desventajas de estos equipos, de las cuales, una común es el espacio y peso de dichos instrumentos, haciendo el tema de las presentaciones en vivo un poco más pesadas en cuanto a cargar se refiere, en comparación con la contraparte virtual de un sintetizador. En cuanto al sonido el clásico sintetizador de Korg MS-20 es uno [...]

One of the most exciting rumours stirring around before this year's NAMM was Korg unveiling a true analog reissue of their patchable 1970s hit, the MS-20 . Having already released a software clone in their Legacy Collection along with its own MIDI controller the idea doesn't seem much like a surprise, but many had their doubts as the analog gurus have tended to stray away from the past with their bloated digital workstations and lifeless preset keyboards. This week Korg caved in, announcing the new MS-20 Mini, a replica of the original analog circuitry [...]

The name says everything, is the king of Korg synths. Check it out

The videos are in japanese but you can note that it includes Midi & USB and is 86% of the original MS 20 size. Always loved the MS 20 (was the first synth I used), have it on my computers and on iPad but now cant wait to have the Mini version of it.

DAVV verschmelzen auf ihrem Debütalbum Synthesizer und Gitarren zu einer kompakten Einheit. Am Samstag lädt das Zürcher Trio zur Plattentaufe. Statt sich mit ihren Stücken wie ihre Labelgenossen Kid Ikarus der Unendlichkeit anzunähern setzen  DAVV auf kompaktere Songs. Ihr Post-Rock-Destillat würzt die Band mit Korg-Nostalgie. Schon im Opener kommt der verwunschene Synthesizer, der das Debütalbum prägt, erstmals zum Einsatz. "Wendy Carlos" ist eine Ode an die gleichnamige Moog-Legende. Seine Debüt-EP hatte David Schönenberger 2008 noch solo eingespielt. Für seinen ersten Longplayer hat der Songwriter den Gitarristen Michael Cerezo von [...]

I'm not a watch person but I would totally wear this if it would be real ;) [via sequencer.de ]

Además de haber colaborado recientemente con Martin Gore bajo el nombre de VCMG, Vince Clarke ha estado ocupado produciendo una serie de videos llamados Analogue Monologues , en los que documenta algunos de los sintetizadores más icónicos como el ARP 2600 y el Pro One. No es necesario ser un experto o músico para quedar fascinado con los videos, así que aquí les dejamos el último episodio de Analogue Monologues en el que podremos aprender un poco más sobre el legendario MS-20 de Korg.

New Jersey is known for a few things... mostly that it's New York's not-as-cool neighbor. But more recently, New Jersey synth pop artists have been emerging from their home studios and slowly changing the perception that it's only filled with ridiculous guidos and Cake Bosses . One of these more notable artists is Crozet with their exceptional programming, slick keyboards/synths and an uncanny talent for writing some pretty memorable and singable melodies. After listening to We'll Be Gone By Then for the first time and admiring the brilliant way [...]
