Native Instruments Kore Player Free Download
Posted on March 14, 2008, by dazzer67, under links, music, preparation, software.
The creators of some of the best virtual instruments on the planet are making available, for free, their kore player. This is both a stand-alone and VST instrument. It comes with some basic sounds but is also expandable by buying Kore Soundpacks.
Personally I love Native Instruments, I already use their Xpress keyboards and this new addition looks set to add firepower to my virtual arsenal… now all I need is the musical inspiration; time to look up Eno and his Oblique Strategies.

You’re my favourite waste if time - Jam Studio
Posted on February 10, 2008, by dazzer67, under links.
Jam Studio, my favourite waste of time, has had a make-over. Let’s rephrase that, the very excellent Jam Studio has moved on from its origins and added a host of new features to enable you to jam onlne. If you want a simple to use, music creation tool then Jam Studio is great. The best new feature has to be the MP3 mix down and export feature, however, you need to subscribe to get this. But if you don’t own a copious amount of royalty free samples, an (normally) expensive sequencer package or Timberland as your best mate, this could be very useful for you. If you don’t believe me check it out.
