KORG/KID – 2012 FALL NEW PRODUCTS DIGEST MOVIE
Brand new teaser from KORG featuring upcoming stuff – including a Hello Kitty keyboard / microPiano 
If you read the forums on KORG it seems that the end users are not all that happy with what has come out of the KORG labs recently, check out the quote below:
“First, let’s come out with a really awesome workstation. We’ll call it the Kronos. But let’s make it out of really cheap, recycled computer compenents. Then, let’s release an X version of this keyboard, and use slightly better, crappy computer compnents. Let’s slap on a laggy touchscreen interface and sell it for $4000. Then, right when everybody is thinking we won’t need to release another workstation for awhile, we can hit them right where it hurts, with a shittier version of the same workstation we have been working on for the last 5 years. How are we going to make it shittier? No worries, we’ll just take out all the cool sounds! But we’ll call it revolutionary, we’ll call it the answer to all their problems, and they’ll have to buy it! Best of all, we’ll give it a different name! Instead of something like Kronos LE, we’ll just call it Krome and make them think they’re getting a whole new product! It’s BRILLIANT!”

Random Looping Sequencer
Here’s a demo of the Random Looping Sequencer DIY module. This patch features the RLS’ seq out multed to uscale in and envelator gate in. envelator out to borg 1… borg out to mixer and into camera. The sound source is the uncle & anti osc tripple wave folded and filtered with the z2040 and ems synthi filter clone.
The Random Sequencer is a circuit that produces random control voltages. These can be completely random, or they can be locked into loops that repeat every 8, 16 or 32 steps. It was inspired by the long history of shift register pseudorandom synth circuits, including the Triadex Muse, Buchla 266 Source of Uncertainly, Ken Stone’s gated comparator and Grant Richter’s Noisering. This circuit includes a transistor noise generator, so should create true random binary sequences. However, the structure of the sequencer and the nature of the digital-to-analog converter used seem to give a particular character – tones that rise and fall in a particular way.
-Tom Whitwell

Demo of Scape – the new iPad app by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers
Scape
Available now for iPad
http://www.generativemusic.com
Scape makes music that thinks for itself. From Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, creators of Bloom, Scape is a new form of album which offers users deep access to its musical elements. These can be endlessly recombined to behave intelligently: reacting to each other, changing mood together, making new sonic spaces.
Can machines create original music? Scape is our answer to that question: it employs some of the sounds, processes and compositional rules that we have been using for many years and applies them in fresh combinations, to create new music. Scape makes music that thinks for itself.
– Brian Eno, Peter Chilvers

Cory Henry checks out Korg Kronos X
KORG has been busy during the knight here are some fresh stuff from their labs, enjoy
Solo artist and Snarky Puppy keyboardist, Cory Henry, joined us at Korg USA for a test drive of the Korg Kronos X, along with the optional EXs Expansion Sample Series libraries available at http://www.korg.com/kronossoundlibraries
As an established gospel and jazz fusion keyboardist, Cory knows the importance of having an inspiring instrument at your fingertips: “The Kronos does a great job of making you feel as if the instrument that you’re playing is right in the same room as you. Every time I browse another sound, it kind of gets me into a different place that makes me just want to play, as if I am a violin player, or if I have an actual electric piano in my house. It does a great job of making you feel that you’re playing the actual instrument.”
Demo versions of the EXs libraries are included with the Kronos X, and original Kronos users can download the demo versions from http://www.korg.com/kronos
