Has it really been twelve years since the the launch of the first Korg Kaoss Pad? Many of us will remember strolling down to our local outlet and touching that early XY pad as if it was some kind of long lost treasure, awe-inspired by the effect that our mortal hands had on the incoming audio signal.
Hold tight for the arrival of M-Audio’s Venom, a 49-key synthesizer which combines the character of classic analog synths with modern digital processing to deliver an aggressive, infectious new sound.
The Slim Phatty is the all new monophonic, two oscillator wonder from the Moog stable. It’s essentially a Moog Little Phatty without the keyboard, although the design and circuitry has been bred from the Minimoog Model D.
For a moment let’s just forget about the vinyl versus digital argument, which seems set to rumble on for all eternity. The scene is at a crossroads – there’s no doubt about that – and DJ controllers are becoming more and more prevalent amongst modern jocks. Time then to take a look at Native Instruments’ latest offering, the S4 controller.
The lack of a professionally built 2-channel mixer has long been evident in a market that is seemingly overcrowded with entry level units. Often these companions of the bedroom retail just above or below the £200 mark and lack the level of robustness, circuitry and sound quality found in their nightclub-worthy siblings. A round of applause then to Denon for embracing this task with aplomb, with the DNX-600.
Korg’s new souped up Kaossilator Pro is the elder sibling to their Kaossilator, bringing lots of new and exciting features to the table, but can it live up to the legacy of it’s younger brother? Juno Plus investigates.
Rodec and Sherman are brands synonymous with producing high-end analogue equipment built to an extremely high standard. This means the build quality of their new collaboration isn’t really an issue. The real question is: does a hardware effects unit have a place in a modern studio or DJ setup? Ben Daly investigates.
Like most producers lumped into the “nu-disco” pigeonhole, Ilija Rudman can’t stand the phrase. After speaking to him, it’s hardly surprising; he eschews the obvious in favour of the path less travelled. Rather than moving to a musical hotbed like London or Berlin, Rudman has remained in his native Croatia to focus on making music, and resolutely rejects new software in favour of vintage equipment. He spoke to Juno Plus about 80s pop music, unreliable synths and his love of the English countryside.
With Numark releasing their NS7 DJ controller last year and their brand new add-on, the NSFX effects controller this year, Juno Plus’ Ben Daly explores both offerings to find out what all the fuss is about.

The CDJ-2000 is the latest model in Pioneer’s famed range of CD decks, and was until recently shrouded in rumour and secrecy.
