Winduino II

via Jason Warriner

"The Winduino II is a wireless, digital version of an Aeolian harp that can be listened to on its own or used as accompaniment for other instruments. Based around the Adruino BT Bluetooth board, the Winduino II software uses the recently released Max for Live and now the Winduino II can generate any sound a user can come up with by processing the midi generated by Max/MSP directly in Live.

The project's page where you can see photos, video and listen to sound samples (along with a more detailed description): http://fascinationworkshop.net/prototypes/winduino-ii/"

Moonmodular M563 modular Trigger Sequencer V1

via this auction via the forum
"The Moon Modular 563 is a Moog modular format trigger sequencer. Four rows of toggles control eight steps of four trigger voices.

Per Yusynth:
This Moon Modular 563 module is apparently the commercial version of a module that was custom-made for Gert Jalass. For Xmas 2006, Gert Jalass sent me a Xmas card showing his sequencer unit including two prototypes of the module that were labelled 963. This is a four voices 8 steps trigger sequencers.

Each switch has three states: Trigger on, OFF, reset.

The pulse width of the triggers can be adjusted independantly for each row.

The module has a clock of its own, but each row can be independantly driven by an external clock."

KORG Radias Concept Art

via A on the KORG Forums

"I just came up with some ideas for a new generation Radias. The photoshop job is crappy & blurry but I think you get my point though. The main idea is to get a somewhat streamlined and modernized interface with a huge touch-sensitive colour display and a top row of encoders that change their function according to the menus. Also, please note the M3 styled buttons (for quick preset changes etc.), the numeric keys, and the three lighted mod-wheels with some additional function switches on the keyboard unit. In general, this would be an expanded Radias with (optional) DAW integration / multichannel audio streaming via USB (3.0?) or Firewire. I am in no way related to Korg and just made this for fun. Maybe it gets a little discussion going coz I think It's time for a new Radias.
Best regards,
A"
