such kind of digital data recorder often used with early personal computer in '80s
but I have not ever seen used in electronic instruments
usage is almost same as a usual cassette recoder
but you can change the sound while playback(e.g. koto to shakuhachi)

WorldScales Microtonal Synth for iPad

"Not all scales are created equal.
This app allows you to break out of the limitations of equal-tempered scales and gives you freedom to tune the built-in keyboard in whatever way you want. Loaded with many presets and samples you can explore ancient scales, byzantine music, oriental vibes or configure your own scales.

Have you ever wondered why we tune our instruments the way we do? They are usually tuned to an "equal-tempered scale", which divides the octave into equally spaced tones and semitones. This has become the most prevalent way of tuning the instruments in the west since the 18th Century. Today, musicians use this tuning system, and the scales based on it, without ever considering other ways. For example, in the Middle Ages European musicians generally used Pythagorean tuning, and today many traditional instruments in the Middle East and Asia are tuned according to regional systems and standards.

Included features:
● Ability to tune each key in the octave individually (+- 100 cents).
● 18 High quality sampled instruments: From grand piano, violin and organ to oriental oud and kanun, to voices of a choir singing Ison voices. Many samples are polyphonic and have multiple velocity layers.
● MIDI In. Connect your External MIDI keyboard and play microtonal music. Tuning the individual keys is normally only possible on $1000+ keyboard!
● Many presets introducing lesser known western, byzantine and oriental scales.
● Ability to save your own scales and tunings.
● Entering directly frequency ratios, frequencies or cents.
● Shows on the piano keys where the scale starts and what keys are included in the scale.
● Changing the root key of a scale: all tuned keys are shifted correctly.
● Audio effects: reverb and compressor.
● And more…"

NAMM & NOT NAMM - New Products on the Synth Front

Well, it's that time of year again. Keep an eye out on the NAMM label (added to top right menu) for everything NAMM and more. More in that anything new will get the label whether it's shown at NAMM or not. It's about new gear. Updates in this post will be preceded in red. Some already in below. See "The NAMM List!" link under the Twitter, Facebook, and RSS labels on top of the right to get back to this post later.

(A note on the top site menus: I removed the iPhone and iPad labels as they go up in posts every day now so you can find them there. eBay links are on the right, so I removed it as well.)

That said, the following are some of the things to look out for. If you have any NAMM info feel free to comment and/or send it in. If I missed anything, let me know! If you are going to NAMM, feel free to send pics and video in.

Casio DM-100

Click here for shots via this auction.

"The Casio DM-100 is basically a Casio SK-5 and a MT series keyboard in one housing. I believe it was the only mini-keyed keyboard to have dual keyboards on it.

Strangely though, not all of the SK-5 features are present (or at least brought to the control surface). Absent is the ever-useful lions roar, laser gun, dog, and surf sounds, but it features a few others instead. It does keep up to four samples and retains the useful sample tune, reverse, loop, and amp envelopes. The samples are stored in the memory after power off as long as batteries or AC adapter are present. I never cracked it open to see, but I imagine that some of the other SK-5 features are still there on the circuit board and accessible to hardware hackers and circuit benders. It has a built-in microphone as well as a 1/8" line-in jack for the sampler. The larger speakers on the DM-100 make it sound better than any SK-5 ever did.

The bottom keyboard has a PCM sampled soundset with the ability to layer any two of the 20 sounds together for a total of 210 possible combinations.

It also has rhythm accompaniment as well as Casio's auto chord accompaniment feature. It has a mixer section to balance the sound output of the top and bottom keyboards with the accompaniment and a 1/4" headphone jack on the front. On the back are RCA outputs, a 9V DC-in (AC adaptor not included) and individual tuning knobs for each of the keyboards so you can get detuned chorus-style effects out of this thing if you play both boards at once."

Update via Alex in the comments: "Hate to break it to you, but the sampler is not based on the SK-5. I've owned two of these and had a good, long look inside them. The sampler is basically a stripped down SK-8 with the same instrument set and sampling capabilities.

So, you won't find any lion's roar or laser gun in this keyboard, I'm afraid. Neither will you find the oriental features or even any of the ROM related features."
