Flower Electronics News

"Flower Electronics was featured in the current Schneiders Buero catalog, as well as an interview with Jessica in the recent Schneiders Buero documentary 'Totally Wired'. "Totally Wired’ explores one man’s electric evangelism, and the interface he has built to connect analogue instrument inventors with their end-users." The DVD is available from Amazon.com and as a digital download from Realeyz.com.

The Little Boy Blue recently received a makeover. It still has the same great features as before, but now the revision 4 is available in three styles. In addition to the classic blue, the LBB now comes in either black or in the "nude" (raw die cast chassis) at no additional cost.

We also have two new devices which are available occasionally:
The Touch Noise Generator - a touch sensitive noise maker,
and the Creative Electronics micro synth - a miniature patchable synthesizer with four sections (mic/preamp, oscillator/timer, resonant filter, power amp/speaker).
Product quantities are limited, so keep an eye out for availability. Make sure to look into our distributors as well: Analog Haven, Schneiders Buero in Berlin, and Paradise Records/2nd Staff Corp in Japan.

Sync Unit DC

via rv0:

"I have been working on a freeware application that sends dinsync over the audio ports.
For now it needs a dc coupled soundcard (motu) and Apple OSX, but other options are under development.

The installer for it can be found here

If the link dies, check the server root for a new version.

Screenshot in logic 9;


This is how you prepare a cable for it:



It delivers instant sync as soon as you press start in your DAW.
12, 24, 48 and 96 sync modes are available.
More goodies coming soon.

rv0 Sync Unit & MPC Sync Track: cheapest pc to dinsync solution


"Use your soundcard to sync your old analogue gear. If you don't have a motu interface you can get this device on ebay, real cheap and download the Sync Unit for mac (pc coming soon) at http://users.pandora.be/darffader/rv0"


"The device is called MPC Electronics Sync Track and it needs only 0.5 Volt peak to peak clock level, so it will work on any soundcard." from the manual: "Bar/beat switch This switch is exclusively for Roland units such as the 'DRUMATIX' and 'BASSLINE' and works in conjunction with the run/stop switch when adding breaks or pauses to a synchronized performance. In the 'BAR' position the units being driven will restart from the beginning of the bar in which they were stopped. In the 'BEAT' position the units will restart from the next beat after the on on which they were stopped, ie Acting more like a pause" Here's a search for MPC Sync Track on Ebay. Nothing was up as I posted this, but feel free to check.
