"'Good Vibrations' is a psychedelic pop song by American rock band The Beach Boys. Composed and produced by Brian Wilson, the song's lyrics were written by Wilson and Mike Love.
Released as a single on October 10, 1966 (backed with the Pet Sounds instrumental "Let's Go Away For Awhile"), it was The Beach Boys' third U.S. number-one hit, reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1966, as well as being their first British chart-topper. Initiated during the sessions for the Pet Sounds album, it was not taken from or issued as a lead single for an album, but as a stand-alone single, and later placed on the album Smiley Smile eleven months after its release."

"a micro-looper.

eight samplers, corresponding to columns of the grid.

record by holding second-from-bottom key.

focus arc to column by pushing bottom key.

left knob is loop selection. turn to move selection, push-turn to resize selection.

right knob is volume. turning changes velocity, not position, so a tremelo effect is easily achieved. pushing down stops the spin, like a turntable.

third key up is mute/unmute. top rows transpose up/down by octaves. top rows meter sound levels."

"how does it work?
the device connects to a computer and is powered by USB. when the knob is moved or depressed, data is sent to the computer. the application running determines what happens with this data, and may correspondingly send data back to the device, changing the light pattern.

as with our other devices, programming isn’t required, though you may find yourself wanting to learn. we’ve already begun writing applications and expect the library to grow quickly through community involvement."

Black Yamaha Tenori-On

"Amazing Custom Black Yamaha Tenori-On. NO RESERVE.

It's the more expensive Silver model (LEDs both sides, Battery power option) that has been refinished in Black by the legendary Custom Synth.

Hardly used. Amazing condition. And probably the only Black Tenori-On in the world.
