In continuation of Moog’s tradition of great gear with questionable names…

Like with my Virus review, I’m going to start my little thoughts with the story of how I got this thing into Bangkok.

The moment anyone plays with one of these babies, they have to have one, and I am no exception. For those people who dig on observing the back of my head (and who doesn’t?), here am I getting my first taste of Access action while working in Virul3nt’s studio on a remix…

About a year ago, the screen on my Alesis Andromeda A6 stopped working.  It lights up, but it displays only gibberish.  Other than that, the synth works perfectly, so I procrastinated for a long time.  About 3 months ago I finally took it into a repair shop that specialised in Alesis hardware, who promised they [...]

Even though I’ve had it for a while I’ve only really gotten around to using it today.  Kong and [...]

The latest addition to my studio is the Virus TI Snow, which I picked up a few weeks ago.

I had previously played with my friend’s Virus TI Polar, which suitably blew me away and since that point the seed had been implanted in my mind to obtain this new synth.So why didn’t I get the [...]
