Keio organ – Korg
MicroStation offers unprecedented portability, the stunning sound of Korg’s EDS-i synth engine (M3, M50), dual arpeggiators, and phenomenal effects; all the tools you would expect in a keyboard/workstation housed in a smaller – and extremely affordable – package.
Whether performing or composing, the on-board sequencer can be anything from an extra set of hands or a powerful drum machine up to a full-blown MIDI production suite. Loop Recording, Grid Sequencing, Song Templates, and One-Step recording features make it easy for anyone to achieve professional results.
New single out from KUBO (PolyDroid/Empire State Human/The Warp)
Brian O’Malley (PolyDROID) and Aidan Casserly (The Wazp, Empire State Human) have started a new project called KUBO. Their debut single “I Dream Electric” will be out on the UK based minimal wave label Vocoder Tapes.
The May 3rd released single will be released in a limited edition of 50 individually numbered cassettes, plus digital formats, and is available right now through Vocoder Tapes’ Bandcamp page. You can stream the tracks below.
It’s not the first time that the duo teams up for a project having first recorded electronic music together in 1986 under the name ManSeries. They kept collaborating in various forms over the years, including the very early days of Empire State Human as well as a film scores for the Brian O’Malley directed short “Screwback”.
The Undulating Noise Machine
The undulating noise machine comes with 2 modules. A player which loops samples of white, pink and brown noise (the sound at the same speed as the resting human heart rate (60 bpm) ). The second module allows you to create an ambience by adding effects and rhythmic motions by simply drawing a motion on the dedicated pad. Unfortunately, there is no record feature, despite this I will rate it as a Killer App, because of its great UI and for the fun that you have in creating an ambience.

Cycling 74 presents Mira – the iPad controller app for Max
At the Code Control Festival in Leicester England this past weekend we gave attendees an advance peek at some of our mobile projects. Sam Tarakajian, our principal mobile developer, showed a new iPad app, the Mira controller for Max, that makes it possible, with as close to zero configuration as possible, to make your patch “touchable.” Mira presents a large set of Max user interface elements on the iPad exactly as they appear in your patch. It also provides access to multitouch and accelerometer data. We’ll be revealing more of this powerful addition to the Max universe as we prepare it for release in the app store later this spring.
As a possible companion to Mira, I revealed a new “hardware” project dubbed the MiraBox — in reality, nothing more than an 8 x 10 wooden picture frame stuffed with foam — that helps capture accelerometer and gyro data from the iPad. The software component of the project was prototyped entirely with Mira and Max 6. Like many others we’re interested in extracting higher-level gestures from accelerometer sensors, but in particular, we’re interested in tracking data when you touch your patch.

Korg Volca Keys, Bass & Beats Demo
This video is a couple of days old, but since it has not been posted here before, here goes, details below:
PMT Exclusive – Korg Volca Range Demonstration
At Frankfurt musikmesse 2013, PMT grabbed a first look at the new KORG
Volca range. We witnessed Boris from Korg Europe putting Volca through
its paces, and the results were excellent.
The rumour mill before the show was rife with talk of KORG releasing
further retro based vintage products that are packed with analog
technology. The range comprises of three separate models, we have the
Volca Bass, a unique three oscillator analog bass synthesizer, the
Volca Beats which is an analog drum machine featuring a comprehensive
16 step sequencer, Completing the lineup is the Volca Keys, a
straightforward yet effective polyphonic analog synthesizer which also
features a loop sequencer. The fun doesn’t end there, each unit in the
Volca range has a MIDI input and sync jack making it easy to interface
with your favorite DAW.
