"Though this nice, hand held device uses a crystal for it's clock , and therefore shouldn't be hackable with out a custom built precision timer sub-circuit, it did, however, clock down nicely when two pins on its central IC chip were connected. The toy also has a USB port and can download a "name" from an online list. In this video it's set to 'Marco.'"

"This device was hacked by our good friend, Creme DeMentia. It is full of glitches, clock bends, and loops."

"This toy has a classic clock bend that glitches nicely on the low end. By jamming a screwdriver into the toy's mechanism you can cause the device to loop nicely."

Alvaro Lopez on drum programming - The DSP Project

Alvaro Lopez on drum programming - The DSP Project from Rupert Brown on Vimeo.

"Alvaro Lopez is an amazing drummer so I asked if he would be kind enough to talk to us about drum sequencing from a drummers perspective. He is working in Logic with Ultrabeat but the information can be applied to programming drums in any DAW or hardware drum machine.

Meet The Soundlab

The MFOS Soundlab on The B-Roll

"I love my soundlab. I have a special place in my heart for this guy because I built it myself and it was my first real electronics project. I built it into a stenographers case that I picked up from the flea market. I purposely left all of the controls unlabeled. This was the gateway drug to the modular."

You'll find more pics and audio on The B-Roll.

Vintage 80's Philips PMC-100 synthesizer

via this auction
"the keyboard has a built in cassette player/recorder to record your compositions as well as live sounds from the microphone input, it also has a built in sequencer to record notes (although I've never tried using it).
you can hook up this synth to your mixer using it's stereo output.
although the Pmc-100 is very compact and has some interesting features for the time, this 'soft touch' keyboard is far from being a professional gear. it's 100 preset sounds and 15 accompaniments reminds of the 80's portable Casio keyboard, BUT this odd and great looking instrument will be a unique addition to any live setup or a vintage synthesizer collection.it could also be interesting option for circuit bending or for a lo-fi electronics/experimental musician."
