Time machine by folktek = video1 arius blaze and ben houston

YouTube via benpumpkin
"This is a time machine by folktek - arius blaze and ben houston - see folktek.com and ariusblaze.com = sampling based remix machine...Here we captured a single sample "kill em when they get a certain age" added bits from another track that was randomly playing next on the mp3 player, looped it and played the keys. All of the keys are patched to points on the upper patch bay section. The patch bay is magnetic and requires no plugging, just placing the cable ends on whatever patch point you like. the sound quality is terrible, the video is not great, but until a new professional video comes, this is it. this is one of two videos up now."

KORG Nano Controllers

Some specs translated on CDM:
"There are three different controllers in the line:
* nanoKEY: 25 keys, transmitting either as MIDI notes or (via a separate mode) Control Change (CC) messages. Octave shift (natch). Pitch, modulation. And it’s supposed to be velocity-sensitive, too, although we’ll have to get our hands on one to see how sensitive it is.
* nanoPAD: 12 pads, supposedly inheriting the terrific sensitivity and feel of the padKONTROL, which is pretty much the favorite pad controller round these parts. Chord Trigger. Control Change mode (as with nanoKEY). There’s even an X/Y touch pad with roll and flam mode, favorite features of the padKONTROL.
* nanoKONTROL: 9 faders, 9 knobs, 18 switches, transport controls. (No, really.) MIDI notes, 168 CC messages. There are even attack and decay times for the switches, allowing them to work as faders, filter controls, effects settings, and the like – something I’d love to see on other (full-sized) controllers."

UNIVERSE

"Universe is project inspired by late nights of listening to reverb filled sonnets by musical desperadoes. Hunter Skowron - the frontman of the project packed his things from New York City and headed west. the past years have been spent perfecting his pallet, collecting unique synthesizers and noise makers to fit the ideas of the project. His influence ranges from the lonely songs of Ennio Morricone, Lee Hazelwood and David Sylvian, to the New Romatics period, such as Japan, and Ultravox. Universe is best enjoyed in a dark, cool place. It also sounds great underwater, in abandoned temples, haunted deserts, and on numerous quests for invisible treasure."
