"This started out as an experiment in running a pad from my G2X through the 292e. I then proceeded to perform some "interesting" video editing. Maybe I got carried away :^) No overdubs, everything is live. It's called Cold Friday because it was cold(for El Paso) and it was Friday."

Native Instruments Machine to Support VST/AU Plugins

via the Native Instruments Forum

"Hi all,

I can finally break the news to you about the biggest feature that will come to Maschine in the next free update - which is plugin hosting!

So, according to popular demand, the upcoming 1.6 version will allow you to use VST and AU plugins as sound sources and effects in your Maschine project. This includes both the whole NI range of instruments and effects as well as any third-party plugin.

Check the screenshot for an idea of how this will look like. Instrument plugins can be used in any sound channel, and effect plugins can be inserted on both the sound and group channels as well as on the master.

Obviously the addition of plugin hosting requires quite a bit of development and testing. Regarding the timing of the release - version 1.6 is about to go into internal beta testing this month, and we are currently planning to make it available to you through a public beta test in January, with the final release probably coming up around two months later. As always, these are projected dates that can still change a bit.

Plugin hosting is the most prominent feature addition in 1.6, but there will be quite some more useful things being added with that update. Look forward to the coming weeks when we will post more details about Maschine 1.6!

Regards, Thomas"

via Joe: "I was working on synthesizer music for 'switch on', an opera by santiago blaum, based on the work of wendy carlos, robert moog and rachel elkin, in berlin earlier this year.

I only have a few photos but i thought you might be interested in highlighting the project.

The opera will be performed again in dresden, germany, in march 2011 and hopefully will travel to the UK after that."
