Music Tech Roundup with Richard Llewellyn
New Music Tech Roundup – Apps, Instruments and Industry Updates
TiME’s Richard Llewellyn shares the latest in his regular Music Tech Roundup for the Music Teachers’ Association. This edition highlights Yamaha’s new Extrack stem separation app, the addictive Keydle ear-training game from ROLI, and Roland’s inventive Mood Pan – a modern electronic take on the traditional handpan. Richard also takes a look at the changing landscape of UK music retail, celebrating stores that continue to thrive and support musicians.
