FutureMusic sampling special 'making of' videos

FutureMusic magazine have uploaded two 'Making Of' videos to go along with their Sampling special edition. Part one is hosted by Cyclick and part two by Groove Criminals (Both regularly supply the free samples that can be found on the free CD that comes along with FutureMusic Magazine).

Part one focuses more in foundsound (eg, recording every day objects) where as part two talks about creative ways of getting cool sounds out of your synthesizers and drum machines. To be honest I preferred part two as I'm a huge synth nerd.

They're about 20 mins long each but you might find something interesting/useful. Watch part two if you just want to look at lots of cool synths.

Introducing the Monotron Duo & Delay

Korg have announced two new additions to their family of portable pocket sized analog synths. The Monotron Duo and the Monotron delay are the latest additions to korg's line up of handheld analog synthesizers. I can remember getting my original Monotron through the post earlier this year and spending hours messing around, making huge sounding siren noises and creepy effects. It now sits at the side of my computer distracting me from whatever I'm supposed to be doing and at the same time annoying anyone else that happens to be near me.

It's probably one of my all time favourite pieces of studio gear and I've used it in countless productions and tracks. The raw power that this tiny beast holds is astounding, the sound of that analog filter is pure gold. I'd love to be able to get my hands on one of these new wonderful new Monotrons. The teaser videos have got me pretty exited already.

Korg if you're reading this send one my way for reviewing and I'll be the happiest man alive.

Below are the teaser videos that were uploaded by Korg. I think I might have watched them about ten times each.
