Sparks - Number 1 Song in Heaven 1979

YouTube via eileenh28 | May 18, 2009
It's like the synths of the time are all representin' - Minimoog, Oberheim TVS, and ARP 2600.
via It's Full of Stars. Anyone see them at Magic Mountain back in the day?
Video description:
"Not one, not two, but three, count 'em, THREE Ron Maels. Three very pretty Ron Maels.

If that ain't heaven, I don't know what is.

The 3 pretty Rons make up for the bad hair day (month? year? decade?) that Russell was having.

Update: Well well well. That Group is no longer interested in taking this video down. You can watch it as much as you want. But you still should buy the record "No. 1 in Heaven", it's very good."

Akai MPK Mini

"AKAI PRO ANNOUNCES MPK mini, USB SOFTWARE CONTROLLER WITH KEYBOARD AND DRUM PADS

New USB Mini-Controller Fuses Akai Professional’s Popular LPK25 and LPD8 Controllers into One Powerful, Portable Package

Cumberland, R.I. (Oct. 1, 2010) – Akai Professional, the name synonymous with music production, announces the MPK mini, USB keyboard and pad controller. MPK mini will be unveiled at the 2010 BPM EXPO in Birmingham, England on October 2nd.

MPK mini strikes the perfect balance between portability and comprehensive software control by melding together the immediate control and grab-and-go convenience of the LPK25 and LPD8. The MPK mini is less than 13 inches across and weighs just over one pound and easily fits into a laptop case, backpack or messenger bag for extreme portability.

The MPK mini keyboard is ideal for quickly entering notes and phrases into a computer and is also velocity-sensitive. Dedicated Octave Up and Down buttons instantly access different pitch ranges and a Sustain button provides further performance options. The MPK mini also has a built-in arpeggiator to create sparkling, staccato leads and driving bass lines in a variety of time signatures and patterns.

MPK mini's eight backlit, velocity-sensitive pads are based on Akai Professional’s MPC line of iconic music production stations. Great for firing one-shot samples and sequencing drum patterns, the pads can send note information, MIDI CCs, or even program changes. Pressing the Bank button will quickly toggle between two banks of pads for 16 pads in total. Additionally, the MPK mini has eight assignable Q-Link knobs to control virtually any software parameter. 



MPK mini is plug-and-play with Mac or PC and requires no software driver installation or wall power for operation. The included software editor quickly maps MPK mini's controls as well.

'Today’s music is constantly evolving, and that requires the tools for music creation to evolve similarly,” said Adam Cohen, Director of Business Development, Akai Professional. “The MPK mini is the perfect extension of the computer for making music in any setting.'"
