Zoom LiveTrak L6 MIDI control
The Zoom L6 and the max version have a ton of mixer functionality crammed into a tiny footprint.

Thoughtfully Zoom also included some pretty comprehensive MIDI control so you can…

But since it is a digital protocol, it can be transmitted over different mediums, such as USB cable or commonly in small DAWless devices, 3.5mm…

Arturia Minibrute 2S Review
The Arturia Minibrute 2S is a large Semi-Modular that is often recommended as a stepping stone into the world of modular, due to its analog synthesis, versatile sequencer and patchbay. I have owned one for around a year now so thought it was a good time to lay down a review. As an affiliate, I…

Arturia RackBrute Hack
I picked up a used Arturia RackBrute a while back to pair with my MiniBrute 2s and dip into the modular world. I got a good price… but it only came with 2 of the fixing screws. No problem I will grab some bolts from the garage and figure it out, except it turns out…

Arturia Key Step Pro Arpeggiator
I am a big fan of the Arturia Key Step Pro. It has a straight forward interface for sequencing 4 different instruments and as well as MIDI, it is staked full of CV outputs for modular and semi-modular gear. But today we want to focus on the Arpeggiator. Well actually the 3 Arpeggiators that the…
