Paul Bothner Music

Now an Appointed Bose L1 Premium Partner

Bose is pleased to welcome on board Paul Bothner Music as a Premium Bose L1 Partner.

More than just a new type of loudspeaker, L1 portable line array systems, provide a completely different approach to live sound. Using proprietary Bose technology, L1 systems combine PA and monitors into an affordable, single, highly portable unit that can be positioned behind, or to the side of individuals onstage. This novel approach to amplification helps eliminate most of the issues with conventional PA systems—including excessive reverberation and extreme volume on and near the stage.

Lightweight, interlocking components help make L1 systems especially easy to transport and set up. And their distinctive vertical loudspeaker enclosures don’t require separate speaker stands.

3 New and Truly Mind Blowing Apps for SynthStation

SynthStation25 has been generating a lot of buzz among musicians and app developers. Meet three new, fun and creative apps recently created by SynthStation25 enthusiasts: Fairlight, Kinetic and Sinusoid.

The Fairlight app brings to SynthStation25 the classic Fairlight synthesizer, used by legends like Tears for Fears, U2, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Peter Gabriel and Michael Jackson.

Picture the inside of a maraca, only when the beads hit the wall they generate different notes and you have control over them. This one-of-a-kind app is called Kinetic and it will get your music in motion.

With Sinusoid, simplicity has never sounded so good. Inspired by retro gaming, Sinusoid is a 4-channel, 8-bit tracker/sequencer app that gives you the ability to make fun, vintage tracks.
