Last Chance for Mini Waves for 2008

via Blacet

"We just kitted up the last of the PCBs and have 5 kits left plus 10 assembled units. This will be it until Spring 2009."

"The Blacet/Wiard Mini Wave is our incredibly popular wavetable lookup device with 256 on board waveforms (256 bytes per waveform). You drive it with a VCO sawtooth wave and it tracks the input frequency. Or, drive it with any waveform for some amazing distortion effects! Wave and Bank selection are voltage controllable! You will want more than one."

Be sure to see these posts for more, and specifically the Retrosynth MiniROM.

Tabla for the iPhone

"The Tabla (also known as Arabic drum, darkukkah, darbouka or dumbak) is a single-headed hand- drum found in most Arab music ensembles.

This application provides a Tabla with 5 different beat sounds, the "Doum" in the middle, and 4 different "Taks" in the four corners of the drum.

For best sound quality, connect your iPhone/iPod touch to external speakers or headphones.

You can play your iPod music in the background while using this application and accompany the song!"

You can find Tabla here:

Update via Murray in the comments:
"1. That's not a picture of a tabla.
2. Tablas are not the same as darkukkahs, darboukas or dumbaks."

Note the image is the image in the iTunes store for Tabla as of this post.

The Casio sk-5 flute sopund

I'm guessing sopund is supposed to be sound? It is a cool sound.
