In an effort to help musicians at home during the period of Coronavirus related self-isolation, Moog and Korg have made their synthesiser apps available for free.

In Ireland, hundreds of gigs have been cancelled or postponed. Moog have called the release "a gift to spread positivity", and Korg said it was to help occupy the time of those in self-quarantine, or those who are practicing social distancing.

For a limited time, the Korg iKaossilator fo iOS and Android, and Moog's Minimoog Model D iOS app are available free of charge.

"With many people self-quarantining & working from home, we wanted to help you occupy your time a little,” said Korg.

A gift to spread positivity, creativity, and expressivity. A moment to slow down, appreciate our innate strength, & experience the uplifting power of sound.

The Minimoog Model D iOS app is free for download: https://t.co/oHCCBMgSs1
