You say that like it's a given that using legacy branding means accurate recreation is necessarily "the point".

It's more that it's interesting that the priority is ostensibly high quality modelling, given the price, and assuming they are not artificially limiting them, rather than impressive polyphony. Ten years is a long time in DSP and the Creamware boxes (for e.g.) were doing 12 voices. At a higher price ...

Actually looking at that photo I wonder if maybe they can each be used as voice slaves for any of the models.

i wonder how much the DSP for ACB costs that they can't eke out more than 4 voices...this is the 21st century after all. Or maybe they are targeting people who only have one hand ;) Yeah. Ten (?) years on from those Creamware ASB boxes, which these are reminiscent of, and the polyphony isn't close....

This is good, albeit not especially helpful for our purposes. They talk about recording 'Pale Shelter' and 'Suffer The Children' with David Lord before 'Mad World' and the rest of the album was done with Chris Hughes.

I think I can still recite Ant Rap from memory.

Well I literally spent no more than a minute setting that up so do your own experiment! But yeah i'm not convinced either. If it is the drum machine there's obviously some further processing, reverb at least. I wonder if they didn't sample it and reuse it in "Listen" and elsewhere. Still could be a ...

If it is the CR-78 I'd say it's most likely the clave with a quick delay on it for that flam effect. I'm getting something close(ish) with a quick check - CR-78 clave sample pitched -12 semitones and around a 27ms delay.

I haven't tested this but it appears the answer could be a slowed down CR-78. Curt Smith told me.

Funny, I noticed it in this recently.



Much more prominent in 'Mad World' btw.

I don't have an MS-20 but it might be worth elaborating on what Low Life said. That is - you can apparently use V/Oct on it by patching the keyboard CV from the mod (performance) wheel and adjusting the osc (& filt) mod amounts to scale octaves correctly. Use the perf wheel to tune. You need to conn...

That terminal is a beaut. Shame you didn't find any vintage balls of hash.

In fairness Android has its problems with hardware and OS variations. It's also still inferior for audio AFAIK, not that this would be much of an issue for sample management but it's one reason it doesn't have the take up of iOS for music apps. I'm sure the decision to go with iOS initially at least...

Bit concerned about this simplified modulation on the new Electribes. I hope you can have a variety of LFO shapes at least. Let's not dumb it down too much eh.

I suppose the point is if Korg did the sample transfer app in Java it would be platform independent and would be somewhat future proofed if nothing else by being simple enough to run in a browser. As it is it does seem like a bit of a misstep for the Volcas even if it is otherwise cool. I wonder wha...
