Sync the Korg PolySix Arpreggiator to MIDI

"The beautiful thing about this project is that it can be built using simple parts from Radio Shack (yes, I know it's hard to believe these days, but Radio Shack can actually provide all the parts you need, for this project at least). And what's better than being able to pick up the parts for the project at your local mall? The price is so low that you can build it for a mere ten bucks, including a fancy case."

"Ableton Live's new vocoder offers a little more than ordinary vocoding. It also works with an internal noise generator and a pitch tracking oscillator with 4 different waveforms. And you can use the audio input as modulation source and carrier at the same time."

Moog - Early Days in Rock

A great post on the AH mailing list came up on the first use of Moog synths in Rock and Roll. Bill noted the following:

"- The Doors (first rock band to use a Moog on their "Stange Days"
track/album in Oct. '67)
- The Monkees (first pop band to use a Moog on the track "Daily
Nightly" in Nov. '67 - see YouTube)"
