First Look: Korg miniKORG 700FS Synthesizer
The minKORG 700FS is a faithful, yet subtly upgraded limited edition re-issue of Korg’s classic miniKORG 700S synthesizer from 1974. Whilst we were aware of its historical significance, we weren’t prepared for just how amazing it sounded. Noisegate were lucky enough to get their hands on an early review unit so here’s editor David Haberfeld and senior contributor Tristan Malloch discussing their findings and exploring its sonic capabilities.

UAD-2 Plugin of the Month: Gallien-Krueger 800RB Bass Amp Plug-In
Here we check out the Gallien-Krueger 800RB Bass Amp Plug-In UAD-2 plugin by Universal Audio. Developed by Brainworx, and officially licensed by Gallien-Krueger, the GK 800RB is the legendary solid-state bass amp used by artists like Guns n’ Roses Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more!
As Steve demonstrates, the plugin really brings the bass tone to life by scooping the mid freqs and boosting the treble & high mids to add further grit to the tone.

Workstation Comparison: Yamaha Montage, MODX and Korg Nautilus
In this video Mike takes a look at 3 price tiers of Music Workstation Synthesizers to see how they stack up: Yamaha's flagship Montage - a premium unit with a price tag to match, the new mid-range KORG 'Nautilus' that channels the Korg Kronos pedigree, and the budget friendly but feature packed Yamaha MODX.
Overall each unit certainly has strengths. The 2 Yamaha's 8 operator FM synth engine is able to produce mind-bogglingly complex sounds and the 'superknob' is a lot of fun. However the 9 sound engines of the Korg Nautilus, plus the Sequencer and Sampler provide a lot of flexibility, and the vintage inspired Korg MS-20 and Polysix engines are fantastic.
Being immensely complex units, consider this a teaser of their capabilities. So if you're looking to buy a workstation keyboard, do your research and try to get down to a store to play each unit on your shortlist. Videos are no substitute for trying them yourselves!
