Musikmesse: Korg Workstation Overview ps60 / Microstation

moogulator, ,

these 2 basically equally structured workstations work the same way, but microstation is more „workstation“ while the ps60 looks a bit more like a „trident“ kind of synth,.. there’s even a 16track sequencer on the microstation. 2 LFOs + Global LFO, not ultrafast, 2 ENVs, 2 OSCs, so it is a nice little workstation small in size but nothing „special“. hmm, nothing? no, it’s smaller! even japanese ppl with just 5qm room might be happy to have a nice neat instrument for „everything“. here’s the menu structure and I show…

Musikmesse: Final Pics – Feeltune Rhizome, Lemur and Openlabs

moogulator, , , ,

Here’s the batch I missed to upload. Impressions of the new Rhozome synth/sequencer – in fact it is a dual core computer with step sequencer up to 64 patterns, plugins (comes with a lot of plugins like Minimonsta and Ohmforce filters, so you may start with it immediately), allows other stuff, since it is XP E (for embedded) as OS, 18kilos, dynamic pads, and freely assignable to unlimited real time track length. there’s still room for more, so do not expect it to be the final specs, but that’s what…

The large Tango controller and the new final Origin design form Arturia

(awesome sounding, but just the size of just a part of your hand) and the electron octatrack, which is an interesting „Loop Player“ 64GB from SD Cards – quite like a very very extended electribe slicer
