Keyboard Player for ASWAD (UK Reggae Band) / BILLY OCEAN / OMAR / Twinkle Brothers / Freddy Mcgregor. Before this I was touring all over with various reggae artists ie: Janet Kay / Gregory Isaacs / Dennis Brown / Mighty Diamonds / Frankie Paul, basically most of the Jamaican artists that came to the UK to tour Europe in that period. I produced BILLY OCEAN's last album: "Because I Love You". I am currently working as a Music producer, preparing up-and-coming young artists for the world stage in TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.

Great IMPRESSIVE little program, does much more than appears on the surface. Because of my background in live performance this was initially a challenge for me as the sequencer works in step time. My first impression of the limited control parameters was not to expect too much, but shortly after using iPolysix I realized how much fun this would be with results coming quickly and easy. The quality of the sounds are incredible! I will use my iPad in the studio just to access iPolysix alone. Having KORG KRONOS myself, I'm used to big sounds and professional quality, with just a few tracks it's possible with iPolysix to create a huge sound that is 100% authentic to the original. I really love iPolysix which should be made into a stand-alone program for Mac and PC. It was a pleasure to be involved in this project, thank you Korg!

Subdued Noise is a track which was completely conceived through the process of creating sounds in iPolysix. Decidedly downtempo, with a touch of 80's-style drum hits, the song morphs to a double-time, more "drum and bass-esque" track to further show versatility. To make the track as multi-layered as possible, I resorted to using a drum track for the bass line - opening up the two synth parts for the other textures. There's also lots of modulation going on; from filters to sends to effect types. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Matthias Sauer is a synth programmer, musician and audio designer from Germany (based near Frankfurt). In 2012 he founded his own company app-sound.com with focus of developing presets and loops for iOS apps. Before that time he was busy with factory voicing for many years, released chill out music and - by the way - he started playing the real Polysix in a school band.

RetroFunkLounge shows the fascinating iPolysix in two ways at the same time - as a vintage synthesizer rediscovering the early 80ies as well as a production tool for todays lounge music. RetroFunkLounge is actually a mix of 80s funk and todays lounge music. All the presets I made with the Korg App are really timeless, I like the chord memory function, the deep and warm sounding pads and the very easy handling of iPolysix.

Creating the iPolysix dubtechno demo 'Submarine Drift' was a very relaxing experience to me. The synthesizer does a great job on deeply filtered dub chords. I placed them in 64 step loops and played around with the excellent sounding delay and reverb effects. Prior to this composition I had no experience with the KORG Polysix yet, but I found my way into a diverse landscape of sounds very quickly, from distant ghost sounds to close fuzzy guitars.
