Microsoft Announces Surface 2 "Remix Project" with MPC Style Control Pads

Remix Project -- Linkin Park's Joe Hahn

Published on Sep 23, 2013 surface·69 videos

"Joe Hahn explains why the Surface Music Kit is an easy way to start remixing music the way you want. Learn more at www.surfaceremixproject.com."

"The Surface Music Kit is compatible with Surface 2, Surface Pro, and Surface Pro 2. Internet access required for installation." Go with Pro if you want to run the full gamut of Windows apps. RT only supports apps specifically designed for it. Also I don't not believe Windows RT supports external MIDI devices. If you know otherwise feel free to comment.

The following video focuses on other snap on interface options for the Surface.  Remix Project makes an appearance.  Further below is a video on the Remix Project from Engadget.

Surface Workshop at Art Center College of Design

Published on Sep 23, 2013

"Three weeks before launching its new line of products, the Surface design team took a trip to Pasadena, CA, where they held a 3 day workshop with renowned design school Art Center College of Design.

The group of 11 students chosen for the workshop were the first people outside of Microsoft to see a new accessory the design team has been working on: a music attachment that clicks into a Surface and allows users to easily remix music. They asked the students: what else would you want to attach to a Surface? They code named these attachments blades."

"Inside the application, you'll find "stems" (things like the bass track of a song), "clips" (the intro to a pop song, say) and "oneshots," which include sound effects like claps. From there, you can drag and drop the tracks into a workshop area, not unlike the way you'd handle media in a video-cutting program (or any other digital audio workshop, really). What's especially cool is that the Touch Cover here is pressure-sensitive, just like the new Touch Cover 2, so if you want a light drum sound, you can tap it lightly; if you want something more intense, just start mashing it with your fingers..."

  2. Akai has the MPC Fly but it's definitely thicker. You can see some posts of it here: http://www.matrixsynth.com/search?q=Akai+MPC+Fly

    1. Good question. I don't recognize it myself. It almost looks DIY, like something from Livid Instruments.
