New and old working together - Korg Polysix v Ableton

So Nathan and I were in the studio the other day trying out Nathan's new, well old but new to him, Korg Polysix. We wondered how people in the olden days synced the timing of the arpeggiator to the music they were recording. Then we noticed an Arpeggio trigger input on the keyboard. We DL'd the manual and found out that if we send a repeating sound (like a kick drum) to that input, the arpeggiator would sync to it. We made a video showing how it's done. The video is probably only interesting to gear heads but that's OK. feel free to contact us with any questions.

LeBeato - Cherry Mix Vol.1


















We've made our first official LeBeato Mix - we like to call it the Cherry Mix Vol.1. We compiled this mix the other night, myself and Mark got together at the studio with nothing planned, so we decided to do this up. It's a brilliant little mix of electro, dance, techno and some remix's. We also plugged in a remix of Moses Mayes' track 'Being'.
