The following is a growing list of third-party instrument plugins that have "automagic" mapping to the VPOTS on the Novation FLKey and Arturia Gen3 series of keyboards for FL Studio (There are now over 100!) What's so great about it?You don't need to tell your keyboard which plugin you are using - it already knows,... Continue Reading →
I was only 14 when this was released in 1974 so, like many of us, it completely passed me by.

Model 72 (MiniMoog Model "D" from 1972) https://youtu.be/UPVMgBd8TK4 Quite possibly the best emulation of a MiniMoog which also... Continue Reading →
