Surprised that @colin-h hasn’t mentioned this, but just seen a posting that John McLaughlin is offering a free download of his new album “Is That So?” . Facebook message below and direct link to bandcamp download should be attached
John McLaughlin

That should keep people occupied for several weeks of self isolation.
Then on to track 2 😜
Freddy Steady says

More free stuff to keep musos entertained (Courtesy of Engadget)
Moog has made its Minimoog Model D iOS synth app available for free.
Korg is doing the same for its Kaossilator apps, which normally cost close to $20. Android artists can grab the software for no charge until March 20th, 2020, while the iOS crowd has until March 31st to get iKaossilator.
Twang says
Oooh top tip. The superb Reaper DAW is also free at the moment.
mrxsg says
Good call with Reaper. It’s always been free for the first 60 days and ridiculously cheap after that. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Unfortunately, I’m too heavily invested in Logic to give it the time it deserves. I know a lot of people gone over from Pro-Tools and not regretted it.
Twang says
It’s my DAW of preference. I don’t know any others but when I look over my mate’s shoulder at Logic it seems incomprehensible. Doubtless Reaper does to him.
Timbar says
Thank you. Downloaded that minimoog one. Great fun!
Twang says
The Moog one seems to be iPad only? Mind you I’ve already got two Minimoog plugs but no reason not to have a third. 😄
mrxsg says
Hi Twang, I downloaded it on to my iPhone X so I’m not sure what’s occurring there.
Declan says
Too stupid to download anything. Can someone supply a clickable link, perhaps?

Bastard! Can’t shake me up with McL, I’m a longstanding fan.
Seriously though..
