It’s hard to think of a genre of music more full of raw energy than rock. The emotional edge that is found in this kind of music is unmistakable. At the core of rock’s powerful, anthemic sound lie chord progressions that serve as the basis of the genre’s distinct atmosphere. Rock chord progressions can add a distinctive energy to your music whether that’s in the form of a simple yet effective power chord movement or a soulful ballad sequence. So if you’re strumming a guitar in your garage, sampling rock music, or playing MIDI-rendered guitar with Kontakt, you’ll want to know these 5 rock chord progressions... The post 5 rock chord progressions …

More great sounds and presets this week, including some for the latest Arturia plugin and a bank that sold me a synth! There’s an unwritten rule when voicing a new synth. The very first patch when you turn a synth on is the one that sells it. KORG’s M1 had ‘Universe’ and the Prophecy had ‘Prophetic Steps’. Roland’s D-50 had ‘Fantasia’ and the JD-800 had ‘Millenium’. Heck, even Arturia’s PolyBrute 12 opening patch, cleverly called ‘The Opening’, is a real sonic statement of intent. The theory was that when a customer walked into a music store (remember those?), they would turn a synth on or select Bank A Patch 1 and play. This patch needed to grab them and draw t…

The Electric Piano remains one of the most distinctive and timeless sounds in recorded music history. We’ve selected some of the best stage pianos available for recreating classic Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds both in studio and on stage. A marvel of post-war engineering, the electric piano’s original designs used a system in which hammers strike thin metal rods called tines which are connected to tone bars and amplified with pickups that perpetuate sound in a similar way to the electric guitar. Where the Rhodes and the Wurlitzer differ is the fact that the Wurlitzer uses metal reeds as opposed to rods. This, of course, produces a different sound, and while the Wu…
