Built in the same Larrivée Californian factory, 02 Series are exquisitely constructed with all-solid-wood. Now with Larrivée's Parabolic bracing, and a single-piece rather than 3-piece neck, the 2017 versions represent even greater value for money, starting at just £999.

Sound On Sound review AKG's K872 flagship closed-back headphones
"Sonically, the K872s are one of very few pairs of closed-back 'phones I've heard that can hold their own against the top bracket of open-backed models; and unlike any open-backed design, they combine good sonic performance with excellent comfort and impressive isolation."
The full review can be found in the July issue of Sound On Sound magazine on sale now.

Musicians Blog: Can a ROLI Lightpad Block control a hardware synth?
Can a ROLI Lightpad Block control a hardware synth? Via a DAW and the included BLOCKS Dashboard software the answer is yes!
In this video below the left-hand ROLI Lightpad Block is acting as a MIDI controller for a Nord Lead A1's sound engine - the Lightpad's X-axis is used to switch the Lead A1's arpeggiator on/off, the Y-axis is controlling Filter Resonance, the Z-axis is controlling the LFO Speed.
