It’s the final countdown…

Wow! So many things to blog about, studio build, plugins, demo mix…. where do I begin. Yesterday I got myself a copy of the Korg Legacy Collection. I was primarily interested in this because I wanted a Korg Polysix keyboard. This keyboard is a legend, It was used by Joey Tempest from Europe to write the classic keyboard riff to ‘The Final Countdown‘, I can see why! (However a TX-816 and JX-8P where used when they recorded it) and I remember having one in school so it was one of my first encounters with a real synthesizer. The thing absolutely rips, the sounds fit perfectly with even the most modern of productions. Full, bold and solid are just a few of the adjectives I would use to describe how it sounds. However, I wasn’t entirely convinced that needed to get then entire collection, that was until I read the KVR top plugins ranks and noticed that two of the other synths in the pack (M1 and MS-20) appear in the top ten! Well that convinced me, and I am not disappointed at all. Amazing….. If you are producing any sort of music at all, I highly recommend you get these plugins they are reworks of keyboards that will be shaping the sound of things to come for a long time……
