" A quick cover of Phuture's Acid Tracks. The original was around 120bpm and used a TR-707 . This quick cover is at 138bpm uses a highly modifed TR-606. I think my pattern is close but possibly missing an accent ;-) "

"The new MPD26 pad controller meshes USB controller capability with the feel and performance of an MPC unit. You get a bank of 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads plus assignable Q-Link faders and knobs. You can actually access four sounds from each MPC pad, for a total of 64 sounds at your fingertips at a time. Dedicated transport controls make it easy and effective to work with your DAW. The MPD26 comes equipped with many built-in features from the MPC, so it works as both a control surface and as a groove production workstation."

Cardboard synth gets a wood face
YouTube via nathanielscott
"This is the second and possibly the only other video I will post of my my cardboard synthesizer. As you can see I have upgraded the cardboard facade to wood and have set in place much more functionality. The video also features a Micro-Lorg and a Yamaha RX15 drum machine,
The reason that there will be no more video with this synth is that it is going to be scraped for parts for anther project."

NAMM: Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim
A new batch of NAMM shots via synchro1 are up here.
"Highlights today (some are in the photos):- Thanking Dave Smith & Tom Oberheim for making new instruments
- The Nord Piano looks to be a nice live instrument. The word "noise" is misspelled on the prototype.
- Seeing Gino Robair & Mike Peake again after several years
- Eigenharp demo - 3 models now coming out - Pico is $500 US, new T'au model will retail around $2800, out in May. Instruments only work with
Mac; PC version scheduled for March.
- meeting Jurgen from Jomox and scheduling my SunSyn upgrade
- Analogue Solutions has a prototype of a new hardware sequencer in the Noisebug booth
- watching Dieter Doepfer patch away like mad and *really* get into, so much so that he kept expanding the patch as security was turning off the lights and chasing us out. Seeing the joy on his face while he worked away at an excellent patch that sounbded a lot like Trans Europe Express. I had a chance for an extended conversation and we shared our love of the modulars that were out of our price range in our younger days.
- bought a pocket sax - which is a tenor reed/mouthpiece attached to a modified recorder body. Sounds a lot like a sax and only cost $70. My original instruments were alto & bass clarinet and since I stopped smoking I might even have my wind back. Embouchure will take a little longer..."
NOT NAMM: The Swarmatron by Dewanatron
"The Swarmatron was created to produce eight tones tuned approximately to one note, each tone slightly different in pitch to produce a complex and natural choral effect.These eight oscillators can be played with a single ribbon controller (variable resistor) to move the pitch center up or down.
The span control expands the sound of a swarm of eight notes spread just a few cents apart into a wide chord of equidistant pitches spread over the entire spectrum. The player can "taffy pull" the resulting chord by using the span control and pitch ribbon in tandem.
Swarms of sine waves evoke swarms of angels congregating. Swarms of sawtooth waves evoke the swarming of bees. The sound of a host of voices, earthly or unearthly, has a unique character recognized by the ear even when they are folded together in unison."
If you've been following this site for a while you might recognize the Swarmatron from this post back in March of 2007.
