Drone station demo

This is a quick demonstration of DroneStation, a new app for the iPhone/Touch. A 2-oscillator synth, with an unique multi-touch interface that will hopefully make it more playable than trying to peck away at a little keyboard.

Screenshot showing it’s a 2-osc synth with a resonant 4PLP filter.

A good look at the Moog

Bill Holland was minding his business in the Gearwire studio when the ancient alien creature known as the Caretaker transported him to the Delta Quadrant, where his only hope of getting home was to shoot this series of video demos on the Moog Music Minimoog Voyager.

Part 1

Bill Holland wakes up on the wrong side of the Voyager in this amazing display of ghost piano. Where’s the sound coming from if nobody’s pressing the keys? The secret lies within this video. Don’t look at the Moog Minimoog Voyager, look through it!

Part 2

Ever onward with our look at the Moog Music Minimoog Voyager. The next stop on this luxury-synth cruise will take us to the banks of assignable control options, including everyone’s annular favorite, the mod wheel.

Part 3
