This one in via Christopher Randall of Analog Industries and Audio Damage.

"Yes, it's a real VST. No, it doesn't do anything."

Reminds me of this blog at times.

Thanks Chris!

Teisco SX210 with Bottom Panel of Buttons

The SX210 was released by both Teisco and Kawai. I've never seen one with buttons along the bottom like that. Click here for more shots pulled via this auction. Anyone know more about this?

From the auction:
"One other significant feature which makes this particular SX-210 even rarer than other SX-210s is the extra row of buttons and controls below the keyboard. I have seen a few SX-210s but this is the first one I have seen with this feature. The buttons and controls mirror the main panel controls."

miniMusic MixPad

"MixPad is a full featured MIDI file player/recorder/editor. It will let you take any raw MIDI file with you on your Palm and play on any connected MIDI hardware. MixPad differs from any other Palm MIDI file applications with powerful graphic support for simple viewing and quick editing." Think about that for a sec.

BTW, I love miniMusic. I'm still waiting for someone to come out with something like BeatPad for the PC. If you know of any software like this, please comment.

SID Buffer Mod

Probably the biggest issue with the Commodore64 SID is the background noise. This mod addresses that. Title link takes you to more info on C64Music!

"The mod involves adding two 74x245 buffer chips to isolate the SID from the C64 address and databuses. The main reason for the background noise is that a common ground is used for both analog and digital parts inside the chip."
