Hi Niall! Please give me some background information about yourself and how you came to be the co-founder of ModeAudio. Firstly, it’s a pleasure to speak to you – I’m a big fan of Melodiefabriek, particularly your excellent blog pieces that roam beyond the confines of digital music production into jazz theory and beyond! My […]
Primal Audio got my attention when they announced on Facebook that they were working on a Rack Extension (for Propellerhead Reason users) version of their popular iPad app: FM4. After that they came out with the PMS-20, a Korg-35 filters simulation, analogue style using dual high-pass/low-pass. And then a couple of weeks ago they gave us, Reason users, the brilliant Ladder […]
Larry Crane of Tape Op Magazine interviewed mixer Manny Marroquin. Some cool stuff came out of that!
Yesterday the upcoming 808 documentary was announced. Produced by Arthur Baker featuring contributions by Afrika Bambaataa, Pharell, Questlove, Phil Collins, Rick Rubin, New Order, Fatboy Slim and many more.

At the moment of writing they have two plugins out: Vermilion and Creme. I wanted to know more about these mighty fine Rack Extensions and so I decided to ask the Chairman/CTO […]
“Bloody silly name that is, The Beatles. How corny can you get?”
One thing I had in mind was doing an interview with the person who came up with the idea for this device: Mats Karlöf. Well, that a bit longer than I expected. But I gladly present that interview to you today. You will learn about the philosophy behind the Pulveriser device and the kind of […]
Funnily enough it was Aphex Twin who had an early beta version (note: Reason) – he was the first person who showed it to me, and I thought “what a wicked idea”.
If you’re a songwriter I guess you will fall in love with the music of Todd Rundgren at some point. At least, I did. I have heard Todd play live several times. Last time was a month ago in Amsterdam at the Paradiso. He used a large touchscreen running Windows with Reason on it. Even […]
