Gearwire Crosstalk Podcast #013

Must be lucky episode 13: Gearwire Crosstalk goes video!!!!Mike, Dan, and Britton speculate on the next generation of touchpad madness with the announcement of the Korg KAOSSPAD 3. Next, three of the videos from our Summer NAMM expedition are previewed and discussed. We finish off with our first in a series of looks into free and donationware plugins.




01:46 Reminder to check out the Gearwire Forums.

02:26 The Korg KAOSS Pad 3 was recently announced and has created quite a stir. Hear what our panel has to say.

09:41 The crew takes a look at three of the videos from this year's trip to Summer NAMM. First up is the Fender Princeton Recording Amp.

14:17 Numark iDJ2 and . . .

20:09 . . . the Electro-Harmonix HOG are also peeped.

23:40 The best things in life are free. Or maybe the free things in life are on the Internet. We say both. Our special feature on freeware starts off with five synth plugins that pay for themselves as soon as you download them.

24:59 Remember the Jen SX1000? Neither do we, but we review a sweet little plug called Leto that supposedly emulates it. We also make mention of the Magical 8-bit Plug, which makes old school video game sounds.

28:39 Next up is the Cheeze Machine. Mike, Britton, and Dan decide to start an emo band using this melodramatic freebie.

31:48 Do you need to make sounds for your retro sci-fi BBC series? The panelists show you how, and for free, using Invader. Now you can spend the rest of your budget on a Tesla coil for the lab scene.

35:12 What if space was a synthesizer? That would be really cool, but for now we have Cygnus, which only looks like space but is pretty cool nonetheless.
