Arturia have just released iMini for iPad. The iMini is based on their popular Minimoog V software that is used may many producers and sound designers.

Arturia are the latest company to release a synthesiser for the iPad and iMini is a welcome addition to the various vintage synths that are available in the AppStore. It's nice to finally see a faithful Minimoog clone in the AppStore.

A revolution is coming - Native Instruments teases new synth

Native instruments has uploaded a new video teasing a brand new synthesiser. Native Instruments are well known for their synthesisers, with Massive and FM8 being a huge hit with many producers, I'm sure that they won't be holding back with this one.

There's no further details about this mystery synth yet apart from the video on their YouTube page (that I've embedded below).

Native Instruments release Traktor DJ for iPad


DJing is not something that I regularly talk about on Voltage-Controlled, but I thought that the new Traktor DJ app from Native instruments was worth a mention.Unlike most DJ apps in the AppStore, Traktor DJ focuses on the waveform display rather than virtual turn tables. Traktor DJ also features effects, EQ and filters taken from Native Instruments' computer based DJ software.



Traktor DJ is now available in the AppStore for £13.99. For more information on Traktor DJ check out the Native Instruments site here.

Peavey announces new "The Walking Dead" line of instruments and accessories

Although I do play (a little), I don't usually post about guitar related stuff here on Voltage Controlled, but my geeky side feels that this deserves a mention. I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead (Both TV and comic book) and Peavey's new The Walking Dead line of instruments and accessories looks pretty awesome.


"Peavey Electronics®, one of the world's largest manufacturers and suppliers of musical instruments and professional sound equipment, proudly announces the expansion of its licensed product line with the addition of products featuring graphics from The Walking Dead, the award-winning comic and TV show.
Designed for serious collectors and musicians alike, these new musical instruments will feature highly detailed artwork on guitars and accessories."


You can find more info about the line on Peavey's website, here.

The Korg Mini MS20 is real!

People have hassled synthesiser companies for ages to recreate some of their classic analog gear. Korg has finally taken the bait and announced a fully functional, fully analog replica of their legendary MS20 synthesiser.



The Micro MS20 is smaller than the original but it looks perfect. If the pricing on this little machine is right then it could be a phenomenal hit. I need one of these!
