Visitor - COMING HOME (Viceroy Remix) [Free Download]



Here's the latest track from the upcoming Visitor release, Coming Home//RNB.  It's a free download, and a goodie, so check it out.  The EP will be released on the 10th of September.  Be sure to check it out, as the other tracks so far have all been stellar.

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




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.

Check it out!

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?
