via Dave of umop:
"A little something special for PARALLAX fans today... an exclusive MP3 I very recently made called Deuterium. It uses five synths: A Korg 01/W for all the background sequences and drums (programmed back around 2001 or so!), and ALL LIVE performances on a Nord Lead 2X, Access Virus kb, Roland JD-800, and my new little Korg Microkorg!"

Update: I just got done listening to the track. This some really good stuff.

KORG Kaoss Pad KP3 Review on Analog Industries

Click here. Good, and more importantly, bad points expressed.

"The I/O on this machine is a joke. Just stereo RCA on the back, and a quarter-inch jack on the front that is ostensibly a "mic" input with a trim knob. This may be fine for a weekend warrior/DJ/whatever, but for a professional user, it's annoying in the extreme."

Yep... I was hoping they would include 1/4" jacks this time. The audience still appears to be DJs.

Notes on the (modular) controller:
* a nice wooden box, covered in leatherette
* four removeable panels on top, each for separate controls
* three jacks on each side (right for CV in, left for switches in)
* a USB kit from Velleman to connect to a computer (I am writing a driver which will route control signals to MIDI)
