New Korg Krome Workstation Priced Starting At $999

Korg’s recent hyping of an upcoming product release left some fans disappointed and some fans ecstatic.  The new line of Krome workstation keyboards share little with their pervious offerings, other than the ubiquitous “K” spelling (ie. Kaoss Pad).  These full-sized keyboards are quite large, but the added volume and weight is not arbitrary – it houses the components needed to produce powerful voices, filters, oscillation control, and modulation effects. The 88 key Krome comes in at $1,599, while the 61 key version tops out at just less than a grand.  The unit also features an updated 7-inch color touch screen for easier navigation. http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2012/09/07/new-korg-krome-workstation-priced-starting-at-999

Elektron Analog Four + Machinedrum Jam

Many of the older synthesizer videos we find on YouTube come to us in an awful film quality with horrid audio quality to boot.  That’s because they were shot on video tape sometime in the late 80’s, which these synthesizer were still considered to be revolutionary.  It’s hard to believe that synthesizers were capable of so much, in the same era when cameras still relied on magnetic tape and old splicing techniques to make a decent video.  Video cameras and digital cameras have since caught up to the “revolutionary” stance that synthesizers had once held. [embed width="656"]http://youtu.be/3QZWe3JSnDQ[/embed] One aspect on which they both converge is their size.  Synthesizers and cameras no longer need to take up generous amounts of space in a dedicated office or bedroom.  When synths were in their younger years the smallest Roland synth took up the space of a tabletop, and one had to position themselves in the center of a workstation if they wanted to perform on more than one instrument.  The largest Korg Krome Workstation is the closest in size to the smallest comparison we can give for an example.  In this short jam, a complete band of synths are put together in the amount of space that a typical desktop would require.  I spot an Elektron 4 and a machinedrum. http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2012/12/16/live-techno-jam-with-elektron-analog-four-machinedrum/

Korg MicroKorg XL+ Now Available

If there’s any Korg product that needs no introduction, it’s the MicroKorg line of synthesizers.  These have been popularized by many an artist and have even been seen in music videos while riding skateboards (Neptunes).  Korg, like many other gear manufactures, has made the unfortunate mistake of replicating the beast too many times.  On one hand, it’s good to rework a product to add features that were missing – but it can also be a detriment when it’s pushed out to the market to quickly.  Smart buyers will see this as an attempt to label it as something new when it is anything but new. Old versions of the MicroKorg had a classic look that is still mimicked on other synthesizers and synth gear.  Mainly, the sides of the unit are created with a simulated wood grain effects, yet the entire unit is built from a more durable plastic in order to keep up with modern factory production techniques.  Korg offers different sizes and color of their line, so it can be a bit confusing to stay on top of new gear.  Their latest offering is the MicroKorg XL+ which adds some new features which might not be so apparent at first.  You better read up on it and make sure you know what you’re getting. http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2012/12/28/korg-microkorg-xl-now-available/
