Welcome to this week’s TDL Show! Garry talks about low-cost home security cameras and how to integrate them into your home security system. I explore a new plugin that recreates the classic Jen SX1000 and compare it to my own Jen. I also discuss the new MIDI stack in Windows 11 and revisit my old Korg NX5R. Plus, I launch my new community sound bank project and much more!

TDL Show #975

Welcome to this week’s Synth Chat!

This week on the show, I’m joined by keyboard player MarQ Speck from SWEET CRYSTAL. He’s celebrating 50 years with the group and has played an incredible range of synths over the years.

We discuss his journey, from starting out with organs to acquiring his first Minimoog and other classic synths. We also talk about the regret of letting go of potential classics and the differences between studio needs and live performance requirements.

Plus, we dive into synth clones, new synths, and much more!

Welcome to this week's podcast, where Garry and I are joined by musician and DJ Kelly Myers to talk about his passion for synths, drum machines, and music.

Kelly has an interesting collection of electronic music gear, including the classic Roland TB-303. He shares how he got into music, talks about his gear collection, and explains why he uses both modern and classic synthesizers.
