DA FACT instruments are the result of 7 years of intensive research and development and are protected by several patents.

Their intuitive ergonomics by placing the body of the artist at the center of his game, instruments DA FACT opens new fields of art, as well as the Nintendo Wii or Apple iPhone opens up new uses. For their versatility, they can embrace the totality of sound arts - from music to art music underground - and visual arts - the game of theatrical lighting to new set designs multimedia complex."

Details to go up on http://www.musicwithspace.com/

"The Color Is Luxury sound is always improvisational, changing and evolving, ranging from very dense and harsh to minimal and ambient with some beats/pulses, based on their mood at the time and the atmosphere of the space they're playing in. Regardless of the situation, they manage to come up with something memorable for the audience...but not to them."

Custom Black Sid Station with VFD

via Mark Setrakian
"I recently finished a couple more VFD conversions that I think you will like. A while back I installed a VFD in my Sidstation. It turned out well, but there was something about the black display that didn't look right against the aluminum face plate. So I took the case to my anodizer, stripped it, buffed it, and black anodized it. Then I recreated the panel graphics in a CAD program and laser etched the design into the aluminum. It looks OK in pictures, but in person it's very nice; the display is gorgeous and the panel graphics are razor sharp. To be clear, this is not an official Sidstation Ninja. It still has the stock color LEDs and the Ninja logo at the bottom is my own addition. In the background is my black face MKS-80, which also has a VFD.

For those who are interested, I used Newhaven displays in the Sidstation and the MKS-80, and Noritake displays in the Sequential instruments. The difference is that the Sequential units use an underline cursor, which Noritake directly supports, and the Sid and MKS don't. The Noritake display will work in the Sid, but the graphics won't display properly."

Note Mark also brought us the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS with Flourescent Display and the Sequential Circuits Studio 440 with Vacuum Fluorescent Display.
