REPLAY: We Be Jammin’ Live From The Disaster Room

Jammin’ first this week, then chatter! Simple as that.

Musically, the Polybrute and Take 5 ended up taking center stage, along with the Wavestate Native plugin and a little bit of OpSix for some fun synth jams. And I talked a little more about the Kontrol S custom user presets, some updates on the studio layout, and I unveiled what is to be the unabashedly digital synth.

Here’s the video. As always, you can watch here, but the chat action is available when you watch on YouTube.

Here’s the rough timeline:
