Interview with Bert Schiettecatte of Percussa

full interview on wire to the ear

A couple of excerpts:
"Do you find artists using AudioCubes in the studio or are they solely for a live performance situation?

Up to now artists have been mostly using them Live I believe, but now there are more and more people using them for various applications, because we’ve released all this new software for the hardware, so the applications are now really wide and people are really enthusiastic about it."

"What’s next? AudioSpheres? Something else?

That’s top secret :-) I think right now we’re focused on developing more software and perhaps a few hardware addons for AudioCubes too. We’d also like to get more open source developers involved from non-music areas, maybe visual artists or game developers."

Flame: Six-in-a-Row Arrives at Analogue Haven

"The Flame Six-in-a-Row sequencer is here! This multi-functional performance controller can act in various ways. The manufacturer has been hard at work to develop, for example, a Clip-Sequencer for Ableton Live, to turn the device into a general midi controller as well as refining its use as a matrix sequencer (see the Youtube video on our site). The software protocol will be opened up to third party developers so there could also be applications in Max, Pure Data, etc. The Six-in-a-Row costs $499 and ships from stock. LINK."

West Coast Boys: Dutch Electro Portraits

"Paul Langlade calls it "gear p.rn" or "synth p.rn" because - jammed as they are with sequencers, synthesizers, samplers and various other pieces of equipment - his photographs of the leading lights in the Dutch electro scene are a music nerd's wet dream."
