Playing piano on the QY70

SHEPITOLOGY playing the Yamaha QY70 for piano and the Korg MicroKorg for Bass. Hmm... The MicroKorg sounds pretty good. Title link takes you to more info on the track.

Yamaha RM1X

dr00p on AH posted a link to the Yamaha RM1X review on Sonic State. I've always been curious about this box as a hardware sequencer. I'm curious how it compares to others. If you've had any experience with one, feel free to comment. Title link takes you to the review.

Virtual Music Synth Site

Title link takes you to the Virtual Music Synth Site. When you get there, click on the Synthesizer Accessories link on the left frame. You will find zones with info, accessories, and upgrades for ARP, DK Synergy, EMU Systems, Elka Synthex, Ensoniq, Fairlight, Kawai, Korg, Moog, NED Synclavier, Oberheim, PPG, Roland, Sequential, Waldorf, and Yamaha.

Found the site via Ethan Callender in the comments of this post on the PPG Rack. Note Virtual Music has shots of what looks like another PPG Wave 2.3 Rack.

The Ghetto Drum System

Title link takes you there.

"Through some 'net research, I quickly discovered that piezo elements could be hacked and used as triggers. Others have managed to use PIC microcontrollers or similar hardware to read triggers and send MIDI output signals to other devices. Naturally, this approach seemed to point at what I was wanting...but it would need some customization.

While MIDI is great and flexible, I really wanted something that would allow me to play arbitrary electronic drum sets/kits. Because I don't own a single MIDI device, I decided that a PC would be the perfect sound generator. I had already done a few projects that use the serial port on a PIC, so this seemed like the way to go."
