"What are your current favorite pieces of hardware?
I've been pretty hooked on the elektron monomachine for a couple years now. it integrates with other hardware really well and is just so easy to get around and fun to jam with. once you spend some time with it you can get some great sounds out of it. i'm really getting into the MPC 1000 w/JJOS2 lately though. i've never had an mpc so it's a nice change from other ways of working. it's easy to get around on but has some nice features for processing/shaping and getting expressive results. plus it's small and stable and gets me away from the computer more. it's hard to say what a favorite piece of hardware is. usually it's whatever is in front of me but i do gravitate towards the elektrons + the modcan and the waldorf microwave XT though the evolver is always surprising and perhaps the best bang for the buck in a synth ever."

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."
