Novation announces the MiniNova

 

New synth from Novation.  Digital, in the same style as the MicroKorg, but with some nice extra features.  Check out the videos from Novation.

Korg to announce a new product on 9/4. Will it be a MiniBrute competitor?

Via Matrixsynth

While the above are only renders, Korg is set to announce a new product on September 4th.  Because the MiniBrute is selling so well and no retailer can keep it in stock, could Korg be finally stepping in to capitalize on some fans who are tired of waiting?

Roland is also set to announce a new instrument tomorrow, but due to the company's track record with new analogs, it seems unlikely.  But again, perhaps the temptation of seeing companies do well will open their mind.

The above renders are an unlikely but awesome reality, so let's hope we get something close to that.

A nice collection of EXS24 sounds and Logic Tutorials

If you head over to logic-cafe.com, you can find an excellent selection of free EXS24 presets of vintage drum machines, or just the drum samples themselves for any of you non-logic users.  There's also a host of Tutorials if you're new to Logic and want to pick up some skills.  I uncovered this site while searching for some EMU Emulator sounds.  Here's a link to the some EMU SP-12 sounds, which are awesomely retro, as well.

Madeon - The City

At this point you either love or hate Madeon.  Here's his newest track in his string of singles, and this one is his poppiest and most radio friendly to date.  If anything, Madeon's certainly setting his sights on radio play at this point.  What do you think?

The Making of Mama - Genesis

I came across this incredible collection of home videos of Genesis making their self titled record (called the Mama record in some instances) and I thought I had to share it since it's such a cool look into making records at the time. There are multiple videos of this, so hopefully the playlist works correctly.  You can hear them doing multiple tracks from the album.  Check it out.

Rheyne - 8/23/12 - Live Jam #51

Rheyne never ceases to amaze with his jam skills.  Such a cool little setup and he releases so many of these.  Nice work!

Clouds (The Sanfernando Sound Remix)

Here's a new remix video from The Sanfernando Sound.  Some incredible old-school sounds on this one, and the introduction is pure Blade Runner.  What more could you ask for?
