It won’t have escaped your notice that this issue is dedicated to the players and gear that are the building blocks for the future of the guitar. Although reports of its demise have been greatly exaggerated, it’s true enough that our beloved instrument’s role in pop culture has shifted in recent years. And with so much processing power devoted to recreating old tech, it’s no wonder that outsiders sometimes look at aspects of our industry with incredulity – after all, who wants to drive a new car manufactured exactly like a death trap from the 1950s, or equip their kitchen with a NOS refrigerator containing lethal quantities of sulphur dioxide and methyl formate?

Welcoming back royalty once again this week as our go-to vintage synth sensei King Unique joins us for an in-depth look at How To Use Arturia Synthi V

Yet again Arturia has painstakingly emulated a legendary piece of hardware loved by the likes of Brian Eno, Pink Floyd, and Hawkwind by combining the Synthi AKS and VCS3 into one full-featured software instrument.

Long live the King! He's back with an all-new How To Use hardware tutorial, and this time he's checking out Arturia's digital-analogue algorithmic synthesiser MicroFreak.

Featuring a 12-mode digital oscillator, an analogue multimode filter, obscure envelopes and a host of sequencing options all packed into a stylish chassis this cost-effective box of tricks has tons of potential.
