![]() I don't know how to start.’ I wasn't aware of how big of a fan Christian was. And I'm like, ‘I want to do this, but I need guidance. I've always been a huge fan of Vicente Fernández, his son Alejandro, and Joan Sebastian. This record with Christian Nodal started in such a beautiful way. “For this particular project, just like volume 1 and 2, everyone that participates in this album, I highly admire. We created this in Dominican Republic, rented out a villa for three days. She was very hands-on producing, writing. But that's more like an urban bachata, which allowed me to do something completely different with her and do more like a fusion of flamenco with bachata. I knew that she had collaborated with The Weeknd, and I love the record. I just presented her with a verse, not even the hook. ROSALÍA is what I like to describe as a unicorn. I was just blown away, not only by her voice, her stage presence, her energy. Someone from my team showed me a video, because they know I'm heavy on flamenco. “I'm terrible with remembering the timeframe, but I know that it was right in the premature stages before ROSALÍA reached stardom. It’s one of those records that it is what it is, but it's also one of my favorites.” It's almost difficult to describe what style the intro truly is, because it's just a very earthy sound that I don't know how to explain or elaborate in the best way what I do. “‘Boomerang’ is just that straight-up fusion. ![]() JT threw his spice in there producing, tweaked some melodies, songwriting. But I also brought on board Danja, an amazing producer that has worked on many hits with Timbaland-‘My Love,’ ‘SexyBack.’ The reason why I did that is because I wanted it to feel authentic. I linked up with my good friend, producer/songwriter Rico Love, who worked on ‘Promise’ and ‘Odio’ with me, to keep the tradition. When it comes to tailoring a bachata to whoever I want to collab with, I did it with Usher, I did it with Drake, and this was not the exception. We linked up and he's like, 'The worst thing that can happen is I tell you I don't like this song.’ And clearly that shit would've been terrible to me, but that's where I'm honestly very confident. I always said, ‘I need to record with Justin Timberlake.’ It was on my bucket list. My first cover ever with Aventura was an *NSYNC song, ‘Gone.’ We released our second album We Broke the Rules, and I adjusted it to our style at the time. Everybody was like, ‘Oh man, this shit is fire.’ So I said, ‘Let’s start the album with the record, because it has a little bit of everything.’” I think that it was just the perfect song to set the tone, because for everyone that I played the song to prior to me setting up the tracklist, there was just always something about that one song. Traditional, fusion-it has a little bit of both. ![]() I was good just with my kids, but when you add Katt Williams to that intro, it's like, ‘Okay, this is Fórmula vibes.’” It's my most personal intro as well, because my three kids participate, so I can honestly tell you that it has a sentimental value. Katt Wiliams was cool, understanding what this means to the Latin industry. It's not a walk in the park it’s a mission. “It starts with just the concept, and then I put Artie to do all the hard work.

All the while, he continues to assert his dominance in the genre while also experimenting outside of the sound he made his name with. Indeed, the third installment bears many of its predecessors’ hallmarks, from the comedian-led introduction to the inclusion of exciting and unexpected guests, including vanguard pop artists Justin Timberlake and ROSALÍA as well as tropical music heroes like Toño Rosario, Rubby Pérez, and Fernandito Villalona. “Right away when I named it that title, everybody was like, ‘Who's going to sing bachata? What’re the surprises?’” he says of the expectations surrounding his first Fórmula record since the 2014 sequel. 3 marks a fitting and phenomenal end to the bachata superstar’s beloved series. “This is where the trilogy ends.” Three years in the making and coming roughly a decade after the massively popular first installment, Fórmula, Vol. “I would never title an album Fórmula just to keep the franchise alive,” Romeo Santos tells Apple Music. ![]()

![]() Some authoritative sources use the first form, and other sources the second. ![]() One final bit of trivia: there seems to be some confusion over the capitalization of “Vox” vs. Some of the more notable ones include The House of the Rising Sun (The Animals), Light My Fire (The Doors), I’m a Believer (The Monkees) and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (Iron Butterfly) … ah, those were most certainly simpler times. The Vox Continental was used on innumerable hits. Arturia’s virtual recreation is of the basic two-manual model (with foot board). A number of variations of this model were produced over the years, but the sound largely remained the signature Vox Continental sound. The two-manual version initially was priced around $1200 USD. But the sound was reportedly consistent.Ī couple of years after the basic model was released, a two-manual version was made available and that also had an optional ($100 USD) one-octave foot board. The British and US models offered wooden, plastic-laminated keys, for example, whereas the EME models used keys that were all plastic. The instruments from Italy suffered a little in quality. But the bulk of the instruments would end up coming from Italy from a company called EME (Electtronica Musicale Europea) who would go on to produce the considerable majority of Vox Continentals. Additional manufacturing capacity was added in California. The instruments were initially manufactured in the UK, but the factories there couldn’t keep up with demand. The sound of this organ was also well suited for the music of the time as the bright timbre could compete in mixes with the electric guitars inevitably present. The look of the Vox Continental was a perfect match for the mod look of the early British Invasion bands, who were normally composed of trim young men, well-groomed and nattily attired in matching sport coats and ties – sharp-looking band and sharp-looking keyboard. ![]() Prices would drop somewhat as manufacturing efficiencies were realized. To put that in perspective with respect to inflation, a new entry-level family sedan could be bought in the US at that time for a bit more than twice that amount. The initial price of the first Vox Continental was $999 USD. It had a striking appearance with a bright red-orange case and a keyboard with black naturals and white sharps. In 1962, they introduced the first Vox Continental organ. They later became noted for their Vox line of amplifiers, especially among guitarists. Arturia has the occasional sale with good discounts that make for a great buying opportunity.Ī company called The Jennings Organ Company (later incorporated as Jennings Musical Industries, or JMI) began life manufacturing electronic console organs for home and church. It is also found in Analog Lab ($149 USD) but only has presets that allow limited programming capability. The organ is included in the V Collection 6 bundle ($499 USD list). The Vox Continental V has a list price of $149 USD. Installation and authorization are done using the online Arturia Software Center software, but offline activation is supported. Arturia virtual instruments are compatible with all major DAWs on PC and Mac, but are 64-bit only. I am most grateful to whoever constructed this site for the wealth of knowledge it provides.įirst we must get a few essentials out of the way. ![]() In doing research for this piece, I came across a goldmine of information on combo-organs here: The third Arturia organ is the venerable Hammond B3, which is also covered in this month’s issue find that review here: The other Artruria combo organ recreation, the Farfisa V, will be the subject of an article in our next SoundBytes Magazine issue. One of these combo organs was the Vox Continental and that is the instrument that inspired the virtual recreation that we’ll be looking at here. The introduction of the transistor had a profound effect on how an organ sound could be packaged into a relatively lightweight and compact case. They became very popular among bands who might have preferred a Hammond B3 but whose budgets didn’t allow for roadies and large equipment trucks. Two of them are so-called “combo organs” – small, portable, and somewhat affordable instruments that became widely used in the pre-synth era of the 1960s. Here is a look at Arturia’s virtual recreation of one of the most popular of them.Īrturia’s line of virtual electronic organs includes three instruments. The combo organ was big in the 60s and has never really lost popularity. ![]() ![]() ![]() Packing stellar performance in an astoundingly small 63mm x 18mm x 28.8mm modern silver aluminum alloy body, the CCELL Silo is at the leading edge of handheld vaporizer technology.

Raiden instead takes responsibility for it, defining his personal mission as a path to end the cycle of violence in this world’s “war economy” in exchange for his own moral standing. And perhaps most refreshing is the messy conclusion, because the story doesn’t actually justify the violence. Instead of writing off the violence as inherently justified due to the bad guys being bad guys, Revengeance is brave enough to question why it’s okay to take lives. Raiden’s character arc is dedicated to acknowledging the moral dissonance of violent video games, which often see the hero taking lives without consequence. What makes this development stand out to me is the protagonist actively engaging in this sort of introspection. If that was it, this would just be an ends justifies the means argument, and that’s not exactly new or interesting. Now, there’s more to it than Raiden simply justifying his bloodlust with just cause. You can check out the scene itself for context, although playing the game of course is the best way to absorb all the context: That’s incredibly bizarre and unrealistic, but the long and short of it is Raiden decides he is willing to embrace his inner darkness in order to prevent what happened to him happening to more children. ![]() What triggers his regression back into his Jack the Ripper persona, is a corporation… uh, transferring the brains of children to create new super child soldiers. Raiden is, as an adult, suffering from his upbringing as a child soldier. Because to Raiden, to the hero, his cause is just. The hero is arguably a bad person, they realize it, and accept it. Well in this case, the answer is the hero doesn’t get redemption. How does someone who gleefully engages with mass murder get to be the hero? How does a sociopath who ostensibly racks up dozens, if not hundreds, of cold-blooded kills possibly earn a chance at redemption, or simply stake claim to the moral high ground without being challenged at all? Why isn’t Nathan Drake in freakin’ jail for chrissakes? ‘Here I Am, Surrounded by Death, Arguing Philosophy with Terrorists’ As Raiden gives into his Jack the Ripper persona, we’re also seeing the creative team taking a moment to ponder what it means to be a video game protagonist. What this sequence, and its aftermath does, is engage head-on with one of the most screwed up aspects of video games. This scene, which is one of the goofiest moments in this game that is full of ridiculousness, is also one of the most poignant. If you’re familiar with Revengeance and reading this, you probably know where I’m headed. Check out these amazing Metal Gear Rising Raiden action figures and statues.Raiden stabbing a superhuman Dick Cheney stand-in to death rules, but I want to focus in on a little bit of meta commentary on Video Games (capitals for emphasis) that Raiden is used as a vehicle for. But it isn’t really the political commentary that draws me to Raiden – after all, that’s more of the collections of overarching themes the game deals with. From calling out American intervention to child soldiers and the military-industrial complex, Revengeance uses sick anime action to deliver commentary that felt relevant, and still does today a few years later. There’s a lot of surprisingly sharp political commentary throughout the story, which isn’t something I normally expect from Metal Gear or Platinum Games. ![]() There’s a lot to unpack in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. ‘Who Saves the Weak from Those Who Save the Weak?’ I actually want to look at Raiden as he is portrayed in Platinum Games’ Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. ![]() I’m not actually much of a Hideo Kojima Kool-Aid drinker, and frankly Raiden as a character doesn’t do much for me as he appears in either Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty or Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

This means that roughly 9 cells of 20GHz will be needed to replace a cell of 3.5GHz if same coverage is to be provided. A cell using 20GHz is expected to have only a third of the radius of coverage compared to a cell using 3.5Ghz. However, the following can provide an illustrative example of the potential cost increase in the 5G era. It is true that deployment of 5G sites may be different from sites of legacy cellular networks (e.g., 5G sites may be in the form of indoor small cells rather than grand towers/masts) and that not as much cost may be required to deploy 5G sites than to deploy legacy sites. This means that cell offers smaller radius of coverage and so achieving widespread coverage may be challenging. ![]() To meet mobile broadband demand, 5G is likely to be offered on higher frequency radio spectrum above 6GHz. Radio access networks already comprise the largest portion of the cost in network deployment and operation. ![]() 1.2.2 Cost of 5G Deployments to meet throughput demandĥG networks are expected to incur a higher cost of deployment to meet throughput requirement and demand. In this context, it would be more rational for operators to share in-building infrastructure or at least the transmission lines to share the burden while achieving reasonable coverage. Even if the operators are successful in securing and deploying base stations in proximity of an optimal site, each operator will have to invest in the civil works of antenna and transmission lines. Secondly, having more than one mobile operators further complicate the problem because the mobile operators will have to compete for a few sites. This means that there is only so much space where indoor base stations can be installed, where only a few choices will be available considering the coverage demand to be satisfied. Firstly, the space within buildings are usually confined and reasons of aesthetics/civil works limit the choice even further. Network densification to address coverage demands in indoor environments has led to increasing difficulties in acquiring sites for radio access network (namely, base stations). 1.2 Why Infrastructure Sharing? 1.2.1 Difficulties in acquiring sites for access network While subscribers do not perceive directly the composition/configuration of the infrastructure, the performance (e.g., throughput and latency) of the whole mobile network infrastructure determines the user experience and therefore the network infrastructure has been one of the key assets for mobile operators. The definition of network infrastructure is not only limited to electronic components but also includes passive elements such as physical sites and towers that are required to operate the network. Mobile network operators provide connectivity and communications service over deployed network infrastructure (whether owned or leased).
