ARP 2600 Synthesizer Masterclass

12 Jan, 2023  No Comment

 

In this series of Korg videos, composer and synthesist David Mash leads a 7-part masterclass on the ARP 2600 synthesizer.

 

David Mash was involved with the reissue of the Korg ARP 2600 FS and the release of the ARP 2600m.

While the video features the Korg ARP 2600m, most of the discussion will apply equally to the original 2600 and its various copies.

Topics covered include an overview, patching, using the voltage processors, FM inputs to the VCOs, the sample and hold, the audio processor and more.

Korg Modwave Native Now Available for Mac and Windows

10 Dec, 2022  No Comment

 

The trend for official software versions of contemporary hardware synths is one we’re fully onboard with.

Korg has introduced modwave native, a fully-compatible software counterpart to its recently introduced modwave synthesizer keyboard. The Modwave has joined the Opsix and Wavestate as an option for your DAW.

Released in 2021, the Modwave is an all-digital synth that’s loosely based on Korg’s DW-8000, which is something of a cult classic. It offers wavetable oscillators, sumptuous filters, flexible modulation options, effects and hi-spec pattern sequencing.

Modwave Native is fully compatible with the hardware – sounds can be exchanged between the two – and also supports any third-party sound libraries that are designed for the original Modwave (or for the wavestate, for that matter).

 

Features:

  • modwave synthesis engine
  • Kaoss Physics
  • Motion Sequencing 2.0
  • Deeper access into the synth engine
  • ‘Filters for days’
  • Flexible modulation
  • Wide arsenal of effects
  • ‘Randomization that inspires’
  • Set Lists and Smooth Sound Transitions
  • Patch exchange between modwave and modwave native
  • Crossgrade from hardware modwave
  • Demo version available

Audio Demos:

Modwave native is available in VST3, AAX, and standalone formats, on both macOS and Windows, as well as AU on macOS. You can seamlessly exchange sounds between hardware and software.


Modwave native is available now for intro price of $149 (regular price $199) Special crossgrade pricing is also available for owners of the modwave keyboard. Find out more and download a demo on the Korg website.
