Issue 328 of Future Music is on sale now

Traditionally, the start of the year always brings a flood of new music technology gear, as companies break out their latest releases for the NAMM trade show in California, and 2018 is no different.  

Being just a few weeks in, it might be a little too early to call it, but here at FM we’re starting to feel like 2018 could be an especially good year for electronic music makers. Case in point, the two new hardware synths on this issue’s cover. First we have the Prologue, the grown-up sibling of one of our favourite synths in recent years, Korg’s Minilogue, which blends some genuinely impressive digital tricks with its classic analogue innards. In this issue, we get hands-on to find out what it’s all about.

Plus, we’re going in deep with Arturia’s MiniBrute 2 – the beefed-up, semi-modular reimagining of their popular analogue monosynth. Get to know its capabilities in this month’s Producer’s Guide, and find out how it fares on our test bench in our full review.

That’s not all though. In this issue’s news section, we’ve the full lowdown on all the hottest new synths, drum machines and production gear – including news and releases from Moog, Universal Audio, Bitwig and Waldorf.
