The Korg ARP Odyssey Modules offer all the editing and sound-shaping parameters from the keyboard versions, but in a format designed to fit into DAW and hardware-centric music production environments.
The compact module form factor has both CV/GATE to interface with analog desktop racks and synths, and USB and 5-pin MIDI for interfacing with controllers and DAWs.
The lineup includes two models, the white Rev1 and the black and orange Rev3, reproducing traditional styling.
Since its appearance in 1972, the ARP Odyssey has earned its reputation as a classic analog synthesizer. Forty years later, in 2015, with the advisory assistance of David Friend, co-founder of the ARP Instruments company, Korg resurrected the ARP Odyssey with a complete reproduction of the ARP Odyssey’s original circuitry. With the new Odyssey Module, Korg has further broadened the reach of the classic ARP Odyssey design.

Pricing and Availability
The Korg ARP Odyssey Module Rev 1 and Rev 3 will be available October of 2016 for $599.99 (US) each.
The Korg Volca Kick is ‘all about massive kicks, toms, and basses’, according to the company. It starts with a true analog oscillator and offers drive and MS-20 resonator circuits to shape ‘earth-shattering sounds’ that can be played and sequenced chromatically.
As opposed to generating sounds using a typical sine wave, the Volca Kick starts with the sound of an oscillating filter from the original MS-20. The filter of the MS-20 self-oscillates when resonance is increased to the maximum, and this is used to produce powerful kick sounds, ranging from solid kick drums to crisp kick basses with complex overtones.
The Volca Kick’s 16-step sequencer has a new Touch FX feature, which provides one-touch sequencer variations and time division, to introduce more live performance potential.
The pattern chain function lets you connect multiple sequence patterns for successive playback, making it possible to construct large-scale productions of 32, 64, or even 256 steps, by joining up to 16 sequences.
“Like all volcas, kick has a personality all its own, and combining it with other volcas or any other hardware adds unique character to users’ setups,” says Korg’s James Sajeva. “The familiar Audio Sync connection means it plays exceptionally well with other volcas, minilogue, electribe and SQ-1, and the MIDI IN jack lets you use the volca kick as a sound module via DAW or MIDI controller.”
With its compact size, battery operation, and built-in speaker, the volca kick can be taken anywhere.
Pricing and Availability
The Korg Volca Kick will be Available in October of 2016 for $159.99. See the Korg site for details.
“Musicians who gravitate to microKORG can now choose a version that needs no additional speakers, monitors, or other connections to play,” says Korg’s James Sajeva. “The program memory capacity has also been increased twofold, and we’ve added 64 all-new preset programs.”
microKORG-S offers all of the original microKORG’s functionality, including ‘Big Knob’ genre selector for quickly selecting groups of presets, a four-band vocoder with an included microphone, arpeggiator and optional battery operation.

The microKORG-S will be available in September of 2016 for $499.99. See the Korg site for details.

The system combines:
With their synthesis system, Percussa makes no attempt to conform to current status quo in synthesis, instead, trying to create a new generation of digital modular synthesizers.
- AudioCubes – a tangible wireless patching interface;
- SYNTHOR – powerful synthesis software; and
- REMOTE – a tightly integrated controller.

Percussa’s Digital Modular Synthesis System
SYNTHOR systems come with a wireless patching interface, which allows musicians and sound artists to patch synth modules in real-time, by placing AudioCubes, which represent the software modules, next to each other.
Moving cubes closer and further away changes the modulation depth of the signals flowing between the synthesis modules, allowing you to tangibly control more parameters simultaneously than is currently feasible with traditional hardware systems. Multiple patch connections between modules can be created simultaneously by placing cubes next to each other.

Synth modules are automatically assigned through the SYNTHOR synthesis software to each cube.
Percussa says that it is like having a virtual case of modules, offering the advantages of computer based synthesis, but with dedicated hardware interfaces for patching and parameter control.
SYNTHOR runs stand-alone on MAC and PC and needs no other software or plugins.
The SYNTHOR digital modular synthesis system has built-in visual feedback: synth modules, patch connections, show clock timings, and signal amplitude are all mapped to RGB colors and light intensity on the AudioCubes patching interface, giving you an instant overview of the state of the system at all times.

Percussa REMOTE
Modular synthesis setups are easily created using the tightly integrated REMOTE controller, which lets you configure AudioCubes and set parameters in the SYNTHOR synthesis software, without having to touch your computer or mouse.
Entire synthesis setups and module configurations can be easily created and switched with the press of a button on the REMOTE controller, and the AudioCubes patching interface instantly controls the new module setup. Presets can be exchanged online with follow musicians and artists.
Pricing and Availabilty
The SYNTHOR digital modular synthesis system is available now on the Percussa website, and comes in 2 versions:
The SYNTHOR synthesis software is included in both systems. Systems are expect to ship after KNOBCON.
- Percussa P8 (8 AudioCubes, 1 REMOTE); and
- P15 System (15 AudioCubes, 1 REMOTE).
Details on both systems are available on the Percussa site.

KMI says that BopPad has an extremely wide dynamic range and measures strike velocity from the softest hand drumming to ‘the most brutal percussive assault’. A robust tuned elastomer surface covers a 10” circle of KMI’s Smart Sensor Fabric, combining traditional feel and expression with modern capabilities.
BopPad Editor Software
The BopPad Editor software will be available as a desktop download and iOS app. KMI is even developing a WebMIDI version, so you can design presets for BopPad from anything that runs a web browser.
BeBop Smart Sensor Technology
BopPad takes advantage of Smart Sensor Fabric Technology from BeBop Sensors, Keith McMillen’s sensor technology company. At the core of BopPad is a single large sensor made from the 8th generation of BeBop’s Smart Sensor fabric.
Pricing and Availability
KMI is funding production of the BopPad via a Kickstarter campaign. This is KMI’s third Kickstarter project, and they have already raised about $5,000 of a $35,000 goal. The BopPad is available to project backers starting at $150.
Eine genial einfache Methode, den MicroKorg auf die Spielwiese der Boutiques und Refaces zu bringen, die ebenfalls Batteriebetrieb und eingebaute Lautsprecher bieten.der MicroKorg ist ebenfalls noch nicht am Ende - der kriegt jetzt eingebaute Speaker (!)

Wäre es nicht interessanter, wenn Eric Persing einen Hardware-Controller herausbringen würde, mit dem man seine Software komplett bedienen kann? Dafür würde er keine Kooperation mit Roland benötigen, sondern würde schon jemanden finden, der ihm den Controller entwickelt und baut. Dann hätte man den letzten Stand der Sound-Welt von Eric Persing zum Anfassen und Bedienen mit Hardware.
(wahrscheinlich nach Lizenzverhandlungen mit Eric Persing) größere Versionen davon in neue FAs, Integras und SonicCell-Nachfolger stecken würde.
