As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the world, forcing schools, workplaces, and public gatherings to shut down, governments and communities are encouraging social distancing and self-isolation.
The struggle here, of course, is that self-isolation can be very boring – but for musicians needing to occupy their time, Moog and Korg have you sorted.
The two synthesiser companies have released some of their synth apps for free for a limited time. Moog’s Minimoog Model D iOS app and Korg’s iKaossilator iOS and Android apps are both available right now.
Moog described this as “a gift to spread positivity, creativity, and expressivity. A moment to slow down, appreciate our innate strength, & experience the uplifting power of sound.”
Korg, meanwhile, said: “with many people self-quarantining and working from home, we wanted to help you occupy your time a little”.
Watch a demo video for the Minimoog Model D below.
