The Lab Science Podcast returns with a new episode dedicated to the Roland AIRA System-1 synthesizer. Captain Lean Automatic is at the helm as we navigate through some of the System-1's best features and sounds. We also spent some time at the end experimenting with the synth patched into the Roland AIRA VT-3 Vocal Transformer, and boy were we pleasantly surprised!

For this episode's homework assignment, we've included a download to the entire synth recording track from the podcast, and it's up to you to find a spot on it to sample.  There's TONS of audio craziness to choose from, so chop, produce, share and the best song gets a free iTunes gift card!

​Welcome back to the Lab Science Podcast. This week we take a look at some synthesis basics while conducting an audio overview of the new Korg Monologue, a hardware synth that literally can't be found in stores. Professor SentZ and Captain Lean Automatic also crack a few Modelo's and discuss Troy Ave, the difficulty keeping NYC clubs open, and the "post crack" hiphop generation.
