MeeBlip SE Now Available

via MeeBlip

" A more intuitive, playable control layout. The changes are subtle, but after lots of conversations with users, we worked to make each knob and switch the choice we liked best. (Of course, you can still modify those choices via our open source firmware, if you like.)
Patch storage. Sure, it was a bit more “pure” never being able to store patches, but this is a digital synth, after all. Now, you can save and recall up to 16 patches right on the MeeBlip, using dedicated front panel load and save buttons. It’s especially nice for live performance.
Variable pulse width. Instead of a fixed square wave, you can now use the dedicated PWM knob to adjust the timbre of the first oscillator. There’s also a “pwm sweep” switch for enabling an automated PWM envelope, of which we’ve grown rather fond. Hello, thick synth leads.
Anti-aliasing. You can now use more pristine anti-aliased waveforms, or turn this off for other timbral effects. It gives you another option for coloring the MeeBlip’s sound.
Control everything with MIDI. It’s simple: if there’s a sound parameter in the MeeBlip, there’s a switch or knob to play with it. And now, the reverse is true, too: if you see a switch or knob, you can control it via MIDI. At last, you can use a tracker or sequencer to program detailed MeeBlip sounds."

I Dream of Wires Mentioned by Martin Gore in Recent Interview

via Spin magazine where you'll find the full interview.

"Everyone I know who's into modular synthesis says that it's pretty addictive.

'I watched that documentary I Dream of Wires recently. I just related to so many of the things they were saying, when they talk about the addiction. I also watched the YouTube interview with Adrian Utley from Portishead, and he was really funny, talking about his addiction — he said it's a bit like crack.'"

"Here is a video tour of the up and coming MacBeth micromac! We get to see the front panel explained and also get to hear the sounds. NOTE this vid is just over a half hour in time- and sadly the software that I used to compress the file for upload contains one or to artifacts or 'aliases' It may come up as unwanted noise during the oscillator demo."

Anatek Pocket Sequencer with Manual

via this auction

"ANATEK POCKET SEQUENCER w/256K RAM Card!
Gently used, unblemished, fully functional and ready to go. Posted here with a very optimistic BIN price, however this is a NO RESERVE auction. This 2.5" x 1.5" x1" marvel is powered by MIDI, so no worries about wall warts, batteries or flaky power supplies. Despite its spartan appearance, the POCKET SEQUENCER is packed with features, most of them accessed via your MIDI keyboard. Here's the list from Anatek's site (now iZ):

16 Track MIDI Sequencer
258k memory card included (?? The card is 256K ... maybe there's 2K built into the main box. I haven't tested this theory.)
Variable, quantize rates
Automatic punch-in
Syncs to MIDI Clock
Tape recorder-style control
Records System Exclusive
This auction includes the Sequencer, 256K RAM card, and printed one-page manual. No original box. The manual has some scotch-tape damage and is a bit worn (see pics), but is still perfectly readable."
