Wibbles

Reaching the number spot in MusicRadar’s latest reader poll for best VST/AU plugin synths of 2019, Synthmaster has garnered a loyal fanbase and it’s easy to see why with such a rich sonic palette, which will sate the most meticulous of sound designers.

The expansion packs* will go on sale until November 16. For more info, head over to the KV331 Audio website now.

* KV331 can't make their mind up as to whether they are preset banks or expansion packs.

I can only dream of owning a Sonnox plugin one day, just like I do of UAD..... 💭

off to see underworld in a fortnight or so, in an even bigger venue than new order...

That makes me very ... erm, happy. 

Sorry, I couldn't resist ...

One of John Lydon's finest moments:

Speaking of Mark Smith (who is most definitely a Northerner), here's a track that helped to provide the soundtrack for my first year at university:

It's time to enter the wonderful and frightening world of The Fall. The only constant of the band in its 40 plus year history was the legendary Mark E Smith. He was a somewhat demanding man to work with. There is a wiki page dedicated to the former members of the band. There's over 40 of them.

What the hell is going on over there? 

From down to Rise (released with Bob's blessing) ... knock, knock

New Order aren't so new anymore.
