Starr Labs Alternate MIDI Controllers
via Starr Labs"Though Starr Labs is well known for our professional line of Ztar MIDI Guitar controllers, it stands to be told (re-told) that we've designed and built many other alternate MIDI control instruments. From keyboard-like controllers with alternate key/note layouts, to MIDI foot controllers and other multi-array MIDI instruments. Check out Roger Linn's site for a great little archive of Alternate MIDI and New instruments for music expression. Here are a few photos of our goods"

"It has a nice feature set which is not found in any other synth of this size. It has a built in MIDI to CV converter which can do oct/volt and Hz/volt. It also features trigger out for stepping analog arpeggiators or sequencers in time with MIDI clock (and at user defineable divisions) and it has an external in conector for running audio through this synth's filters and fx. I've have used the MIDI to CV converter, the trigger out AND the synth all playing at the same time with great satisfaction. It's a very useful piece."

Note the stock photos including one from FutureMusic.com. I wonder if the Yamaha Motif XS7 goes with it.

Little MIDI Machine V2 Now Available - Analog Style Step Sequencer for Free!

From Synthetic Bits, (makers of FunkBox), Little MIDI Machine V2 is now available. It now supports the iPhone and iPod Touch (min OS 4.3, bottom screenshot), CoreMIDI, sync, and best of all, it is still free!!! This is a pretty amazing little app when you consider how much the equivalent in hardware would cost you. If you have a device that supports MIDI to CV you should even be able to use it with your modular gear. And... you can store your sequences. If you think about it, an 8G iPod Touch runs $229 brand new. You can run this and other apps on it for less than what this would cost in hardware. A used iPod Touch or iPhone would be even less.
"Little MIDI Machine is an analog-style MIDI step sequencer app for CoreMIDI and/or the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer interface. This app requires you have a CoreMIDI setup or own the hardware Line 6 Mobilizer MIDI interface hardware accessory for full functionality.Little MIDI Machine gives you the step sequencing power of a hardware analog sequencer on your iPad! Program two independent sequencers that send note and velocity MIDI data out on two MIDI channels to control your hardware synthesizers. LittleMM includes many of your favorite hardware sequencer features such as mute and un-mute notes, skip steps, reverse the sequencer, adjustable clock speed, etc. If you do not have a Line 6 Mobilizer or CoreMIDI setup, LittleMM can generate very basic melodic sounds in place of sending MIDI. This will let you play around with the app and try it out, but it is not a feature that will be developed further and is not the primary purpose of the app. LittleMM is intended to be a MIDI sequencer driving external hardware.
What's New in Version 2.0Now a universal app that works with iPhone and iPod touch, as well as iPad
Added MIDI clock sync support
Added CoreMIDI USB/Network support
Added random sequencer mode
Updated graphics/UI
Other misc fixes/improvements
Minimum OS version is now 4.3
With Little Music Machine you can use your Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer interface or CoreMIDI network/USB setup to control your favorite hardware synth or apps running on other iOS devices and create mind-bending loops and sequences."
