STATE – Our Statement


Our message in our Statement is simple: We’ve grown as a studio — both creatively and physically — but we’re still laser-focused and sharp. We are enthusiastically looking towards tomorrow, and well into the future. Because we LOVE what we do and hope to keep doing it (until robots take over all of our jobs… just kidding!).

The mobile music creation app ”KORG Gadget”, which won best mobile music app at Europe’s musical instrument show, Musikmesse 2016, has another major update! The new version 2.5 (codename: Kamata) developed in collaboration with BANDAI NAMCO Studios adds the synthesizer “Kamata” which features a reconstructed “Waveform Memory Sound Generator”, the sound engine that produced so many legendary game sounds in the eighties!

In addition, we have added two more gadgets: “Gladstone”, with genuine drum sounds you can really feel, and “Madrid”, featuring acoustic bass, electric bass and 6 different amps for creating dynamic bass sounds! We have also installed 8 new effects, making it possible to create powerful bass tracks with more flexibility than ever before.

I hadn’t used a Corel product since CorelDRAW in the early 90s, but recently I got my hands on a demo of Corel Painter 2017 for a Cartoon Brew story. It’s looking great!
