One of the things about the Korg Monotron (expected to hit these shores around the beginning of July) that has a lot of people fired up is the potential to mod it into something more capable. Modding gear really isn't anything new, but what is new is that Korg is acknowledging and giving support for this kind of activity in its marketing like the above video. I think that's brilliant. If they can help create an interesting little subculture around the instrument, I'd have to imagine it would help sales. Anyway, check out the video. I like the modular one the best, how about you?
Most of the time when I post synth samples on here, they're of bass sounds, since those are particularly easy sounds to sample. But today, I thought I'd give you something in a higher register. This is the 'Poly 2' preset from the Oberheim Matrix-6R multi-sampled as 24-bit mono WAV files. Root keys are in the file name.
This site has been around for quite some time, but somehow I only just found it the other night. Tons of really good demos of different synths and drum machines. The music in the demos isn't really my thing, but the sound programming does a nice job of showing off the personality of these synths....
