Well I’ve finally bitten the bullet and gone and bought myself a smart phone, my hand was somewhat forced by my previous handset crashing every couple of hours. It probably didn’t help that I dropped it down the loo once too! Anyway, The long and the short of it is that I took the plunge [...]

Korg microSTATION

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Set to be available this May (2010) at a price which is yet to be confirmed, the Korg microSTATION is a new and decidedly less than “micro” addition to Korg’s Micro range.

Line 6 Pocket Pod Express

Monday, April 27th, 2009

At first glance the Line6 Pocket Pod Express is very cute, stylish, and shiny. Almost toy-like.

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

It’s never too late for a last minute Christmas impulse buy, and KORG are certainly playing that market with the pink KORG KAOSSILATOR.

If you want to set yourself [...]
