Note the keys are raised/angled from the body. I think this is the first time I've noticed this.

"The Yamaha DX 100 Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer incorporates digital FM tone generation technology. There are 49 mini keys. The DX 100 has a programmable 24-voice INTERNAL memory(RAM) from which any voice can be selected at the touch of a button, two 96-voice PRESET (ROM) memories for a total of 192 fine preset voices, a 96-voice BANK memory that permits storage of PRESET voices in any configuration for one-touch selection, and a cassette interface that permits unlimited storage of FM voices. The DX 100 is fully programmable, allowing you to create your own FM voices or sound effects. Broad MIDI compatibility is also provided so the DX 100 can control or be controlled via other MIDI-compatible music equipment, even a wind generator! It comes with a Yamaha power converter and will also run on batteries."

MMM Accomplished

George Mattson wrote in to let me know that today marks the day the Mattson Mini Modular "Phoenix Series" is complete. The final filter and updated noise source have been completed and installed on the first run of production units. They are currently running on a four day burn in where they will be left on and inspected prior to shipping. If you ordered one, the wait is over.

April 1, 2007 to December 9, 2008. A year and a half for a full system from concept to completion. Not bad for one dude on a tight budget. Note the first post went up on September 15 2007.

World's 1st music video shot on an iPhone -- Newteknowledge by GOSHone

YouTube via goshone. via Scott and on the front page of Digg - Digg it!
If this indeed is the first video to go down in history made with the iPhone, it's cool to see the Moog Little Phatty and Akai MPC2000 in it.
"Shot entirely on a jailbroken iPhone 3G using Cycorder. Edited using After Effects, since Final Cut didn't like the resolution from Cycorder. This is a song off the debut album by GOSHone, "ctrl_alt_ego". Visit my site for more info.

VICMOD Ensemble live @ Make it Up Club from abre ojos on Vimeo.

"VICMOD is a Melbourne based group that meet up once a month to build and discuss modular synths and occasionally we jam. This is five of the members performing at Make It Up Club a live improv night at Bar Open in Melbourne Australia.

Shot with a HV20 on a stationary tripod. Sound recorded straight off the mixer by Stephen Richards via an Indigo card & Powerbook in Ableton Live."
