[ad_1] And it’s about time for a new standard, while the 5-bit DIN cables used in the 1980s couldn’t handle high resolution audio, the MIDI 2.0 spec is ready for any digital connector you’d like to use, and will start by targeting USB ports. That allows for far more accurate timing, and far more resolution […]

Behringer clones more well-known synths from Moog and Roland
[ad_1] The RD-6, meanwhile, is a straight riff on Roland’s TR-606 drum machine. Behringer’s spin is familiar to fans of the ’80s gear on the surface and is even meant to pair with the TD-3 (a clone of the TB-303), but throws in a few helpful modern touches. You’ll find a built-in distortion unit, a […]
Finally: A guitar pedal you’re supposed to spill beer on
[ad_1] Inside the container is a green LED that’s part of the “liquid analyzer.” See, what you put inside determines the sound of your distortion. How easily it conducts your guitars AC signal determines the amount of gain and the opacity of the liquid determines the amount of treble and bass. So, depending on what […]
Behringer’s synth clone train keeps rolling with modular System 100
[ad_1] Word is the Behringer System 100 parts will start at $50 and top out at around $99, which puts it at the extreme low end of Eurorack gear. And that’s just a fraction of a vintage Roland module, which can fetch well over $600. To start with there will be 11 modules in the […]
The Moog Subsequent 25 offers classic synth bass with modern amenities
[ad_1] Lets start with Duo mode which splits the two oscillators so that you play two notes at once. Of course you can always stack them back up to get that iconic mono bass sound. There’s more headroom so that you can louder and richer clean tones, but also a retuned multidrive circuit and filter […]
Gamechanger Audio introduces an optical spring reverb pedal
[ad_1] Traditional reverb tanks — which add a sense of space to your guitar pedal — were first used in electric organs. Fender quickly added similar units to some of its guitar amplifiers, arguably redefining the sound of the era. As technology progressed, engineers created reverb effects using capacitors, rather than springs and transducers. Eventually, […]
KeyStep Pro aims to be the MIDI command center of your home studio
[ad_1] The KeyStep Pro has 37 key velocity sensitive keyboard with aftertouch. But, what’s really important is that you can use those keys to play through riffs, melodies and chord progressions and save them to the polyphonic sequencer. There’s four independent sequencers on board, each of which can hold 16 patterns, up to 64 steps […]
Korg unveils a full-sized, assembly-free MS-20
[ad_1] This is a 100-percent accurate recreation of the original analog circuitry found in the 1978 classic. The heart and soul is the same monophonic dual oscillator set up, each with a voltage controlled amp, filter and envelope generator. Plus a single LFO. And just for completeness sake, Korg included the ability to choose between […]
ZOIA Euroburo is a modular synth you can put inside your modular synth
[ad_1] The core of ZOIA Euroburo (pronounced: Euro-bureau) is the same as the OG ZOIA. Inside there’s a pretty powerful audio processor and up front a grid of RGB buttons. There’s over 80 modules (including envelopes, CV switches, slew limiters and CV loopers), not to mention over 20 dedicated effects modules on board. You can […]
Korg resurrects the legendary ARP 2600 synth for a limited run
[ad_1] The company is reissuing a model that appears to be based on the mid-period 2600P, with a gray faceplate and road case enclosure. Inside you’ll fine more or less the same set of components that made the semi-modular synth such a hit. There’s three oscillators with options for sawtooth, square, triangle, sine, and pulse […]
