Having been sharing with us the story about hard work on Circuit (we’ve already told you about that) the British developers of Novation released the new firmware – 1.4 version – for their Circuit instrument.

KORG announced anticipated products 1 November. But not volcas as you might guess – we talk about a monophonic analog synthesizer KORG monologue, KingKORG update (now is available with black front panel) and KORG ARP ODYSSEi software for iOS.
