Just a very brief Joyeux Noel/ Happy Christmas/ Weisse Weihnacht and so on.
We at Stalking Gogo Girls are using the absence of work - and our girlfriends… - to figure out how to use the new Native Instruments “The Superinstrument” Kore 2. Unfortunately it’s not as easy as their demovideo suggests. As usual with NI… Althought we love their software, we found the only fast-access piece ever was FM8 (demo - we didn’t buy in the end). The trouble with NI; instead of building around computation standards like undo (!) they are creating stylish but limited GUIs with static hardware like functionalities. Ok, we are a bit harsh here, but if we count all the hours that went into Kore 2 already (and yes, this we have bought…) we are a bit pissed about the results. Maybe this needs some “Superproducers” as well? I recently read an interview with one of the Swayzak guys where he describes how they started. I can’t remember it fully, but it was something as impressingly minimal as 2 samplers and 2 FX… And what great music came out of that!

Essence for another too gift loaded christmas: maybe it’s not “Superinstruments” with “unlimited” soundfeatures and sounds we need, but some of that famous “less is more”.

Hmmm… Still undecided (1 Christmas Holiday to go…)
