Keyboard virtuoso and all-round good guy (if at times a bit ‘grumpy’) Rick Wakeman has stamped his name firmly in the Korg army when it comes to buying a digital piano. Personally, I’ve always been a fan of Yamaha digital pianos, but there’s no doubt Korg make some crackers as […]

Italian footballer, Mario Balotelli, has supposedly been captured playing the Italian National Anthem (Il Canto degli Italiani) on a grand piano, while national team-mate Andrea Pirlo looks on. It’s a pretty ruse, but take a look at the video below and you’ll quickly see that it’s fake. While the guy […]

Here’s a very insightful video made by Steinway & Sons, giving a tour of their factory and explaining many of the processes which go into making one of their top-end, unique grand pianos. It’s narrated by the late John Steinway. The 8-minute video doesn’t cover every aspect of the production […]

Inspired by the heatwave, Harry @ Westend Production was jamming out a remix of Roy Ayer’s classic Everybody Loves the sunshine in the shop when the young MC Tiga heard the beats and asked to join in. She proceeded to freestyle over the beats performed using the MPC Rennaisance and […]

Built a nifty clone of a Synare analog drum circuit, triggering it with a Hart Dynamics Pro Snare and also featuring the Dusic (Deaf Music Cube) which is visualizing the sound of the synth with sound-reactive LEDs mapped to different frequencies. Finally the audio out is running into a Sommatone […]

Then is the “Special effects Generator” which produces a rhythmic effect. Then the “Stepped Tone Generator” or “Atari Punk Console” which […]

My second synth project. I was going to try to make a more complicated synth after my first 556 but couldn’t even rebuild the 556 in the same way. I also didn’t know how the 555 operated properly so I thought myself a bit of a charlatan if I didn’t […]

(c) 2013 by AnalogAudio1 Synthesizer demo of the vintage synthesizer Korg DW-8000 from 1985. In this movie I play some of my own sounds – no additional effects or EQ were used. The intro track is a multitrack recording of DW-8000 sounds. The Korg DW-8000 is an expanded version of […]

Here’s a cool little video with great sound, with a hat tip to Daft Punk’s Aerodynamic. A different take (and visual) to Myleene Klass’s version. “My buddy Colin posted a video of his band playing Aerodynamic by Daft Punk and it inspired me to fire up the old Triton and […]

It’s not at all surprising someone has rigged this up, but I haven’t personally seen it before. A great use for those old floppy disk drives and disks you (might still) have lying around. Got an interesting musical/synth use for old computer parts? Share in the comments!
