Isn’t what as “good” as it could’ve been.
The queue was 45 minute long and it was jam packed inside.
It was the first one so there were bound to be problems.
They basically misjudged the amount of interest here in London.
They are already learning from this one and planning ahead for next year.-

Sounds like it was more popular than they expected, did you get to try and of the gear? Glad I didn’t go in that case, sounds like they need a bigger venue in future!

I did get to try some of guitar pedals but not many.
The two that stood out for me where Two Notes and Rainger FX.
Two notes had a guitar preamp with 64bit internal mixing with over sampling,
proprietary custom chips and their own reverb algorithms.
My guitar, an Epiphone WildKat, sounded super sweet through it.
Rainger FX had some rather quirky pedals on display including one they call
a “Minibar”, which needs liquid to work.
High conductive liquids create low gain, low conductive liquids create high gain
and one can change the tone by the amount or light it receives via a photo…Read More

Glad I didn’t go. From what I’ve heard there were a lot of people that just left the queue and went home disappointed.

True.
Many people did leave disappointed and to a certain degree
so was I but I was actually glad that I stuck it through.
Let’s see what happens next year.

How to make 303 acid basslines on the Elektron Model Cycles. Sounds good!

It actually makes quite nice acid-style basslines. It’s a great little box. If I didn’t have much money/space I’d definitely go with a Model:Cycles over the Novation Circuit.

To me it sounds more like FM bass than a 303. It has its own sounds. A Model:Samples could get closer to a 303 with the right samples plus it has a filter.

Looks like Roland have updated Zenology to v2.0. It doesn’t look like the synth engine has been upgraded (it’s still the same Zencore synth engine under the hood) so this is just a UI refresh and some additional presets. It does look like it might be a bit easier to navigate. I also noticed they updated Roland Cloud a few days back, might be time to take another look.
