KORG DS-10開発スタッフによるDS用新音楽ソフト「KORG M01」が発表されました。

先日8/30の「株式会社DETUNE会社説明会」というイベントで初お披露目となりましたが、光栄なことにそのイベントでのデモ演奏を依頼され、一週間ほど開発途中版ですがソフトをお借りすることが出来ました。

この曲は、その際に作成、演奏した曲です。
ニコニコ動画で去年あたりちょっと流行ったあの曲のアレンジですｗ

すべてKORG M01(nintendo DS Lite一台のみ）で演奏しています。
ソフトの詳細はこちらから→ http://www.detune.co.jp/blog/?page_id=7

都合上、動画を録ることが出来ませんでしたので、音のみです。
微妙に公式っぽい動画ですが、あくまで非公式のユーザー制作動画・音源ですあしからず...。"

YouTube via bestservicegmbh | August 31, 2010

"Rediscover the hidden treasure!
Gu Zheng is one of the most beautiful, traditional Chinese instruments with a history of more than 2000 years. Yellow River Sound´s Gu Zheng is produced by Zhang Jian (China Conservatory of Music) & Ma Jing (ADSH) in cooperation with Best Service. For the first time, a Chinese instrument was sampled with great care by local Chinese music producers, who have a natural understanding of their culture and a sole passion to express the true quality of Chinese instruments. It is based on Best Service ENGINE - more than a sample player!

Minimoog Model D w/ MIDI & signed Vintage Synthesizers

via this auction

seller's details:
"I’ve owned this vintage Minimoog (serial #7578) since late 1976 and am its second owner. In 1999, it was electronically refurbished and updated with the Lintronics MIDI retrofit by the best tech in the synth business, John "J.L." Leimseider. Excerpt from www.lintronics.de/minimoog.html: “The Lintronics MIDI Converter (LMC) is a high-performance MIDI interface designed by Rudi Linhard to place the expressive potential of the Minimoog under MIDI control. The LMC uses state-of-the-art digital circuitry and software and includes an internal, programmable, wide-range, multi-waveform LFO that can be used in addition to, or in place of, the Minimoog's LFO. Pitch, pitch bend, filter cutoff, loudness, modulation amount, and the internal LFO's rate and depth can all be controlled through MIDI in real time and with high resolution. In addition, the Glide and Decay functions can be turned on and off through MIDI. The LMC circuitry is contained on a single circuit board installed inside the Minimoog, and uses its power supply.” Note that the Lintronics retrofit is for reception only, not transmission, and has no effect on the Minimoog’s standard operation.

This Minimoog has always lived in an entirely smoke-free environment. It was used in a few outdoor concerts under the sun, resulting in slight warping on the right side of the black plastic faceplate, and the bottom right corner has snapped off. There are minor scratches on either side of the wooden cabinet, but otherwise the Minimoog is in perfect working condition. It comes with Dr. Tom Rhea’s manual, documentation for the LMC retrofit, a 9' S-trigger cable terminated with male ¼" TS and S-Trigger plugs at either end, and an ATA-rated Anvil case in which I’ve replaced the original, deteriorated innards with new polyethylene foam.

Bid now and win the auction and, along with two vintage 12" x 5" Moog stickers, I’ll include a brand new copy of the first edition of Vintage Synthesizers, not only featuring an outstanding article written about the Minimoog Model D by the late, great BOB MOOG himself, but also personally signed by the author SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU!"

"Oberheim DMX with midi up for grabs. It is in excellent condition and has the original "MIDI" plate on it from Oberheim."

Anyone know if the MIDI label next to DMX is a sticker or painted on? Curious what they would have done in factory.

To answer your question - the MIDI badge is actually aluminium!

Here are some pics of the inside. [below after the hop]

"This is a demonstration of the Soviet Polivoks Analog Synthesizer.

Ever so often I'll get a comment or email about how I refer to it as "built like a tank".

It was a bad choice of words - I simply meant that it looks like a piece of military equipment. Physically, it's no more solid than an Arp Odyssey."
