See the video here.

"Rogue is a robust wireless connection and battery for the QuNeo 3D Pad Controller.

BERKELEY, California – September 9, 2013 – KMI has officially launched an Indiegogo campaign for its newest product— QuNeo Rogue, an integrated wireless connectivity and long lasting battery power accessory for KMI's QuNeo pad controller. Giving artists unprecedented freedom, now anyone with a QuNeo can use Rogue to get out from behind their gear and into the spotlight.

What is Rogue?
Rogue is an accessory for the QuNeo that supplies long lasting battery power and an incredibly robust wireless connection to a computer.
Rogue attaches quickly and easily to the bottom of your QuNeo with low-profile velcro.
Battery life for Rogue exceeds 12 hours (in time-trials we saw it function over 16 hours).
Artists say…
"The idea of having a really sophisticated controller that's completely wireless would really open up a lot of opportunities that currently don't exist."
- Dan Deacon (yes, that Dan Deacon!)

"I love this controller; it's absolutely amazing. They're going to make my favorite controller even better- by making it wireless!"
- Thavius Beck (Producer/Artist, Dubspot Instructor, Ableton Certified Trainer)

"KMI told me about the Rogue and my brain started flipping out a little bit."
- Jack Conte (Pomplemoose, Patreon) (built a QuNeo playing robot!)

Crumar Bit 99 Vintage Retro Italian Analogue Synthesizer

"The Bit 99 is one of the first synthesizers from which traditional knobs and sliders have been banned. The edit method is easy to understand. The Bit 99 can produce a wide variety of sounds but bass sounds are the best. It has a polyphony of 6 notes, BUT with a limited polyphony of three notes, you can have two sounds layered! Possibilities are almost unlimited and if the 99 patches are not enough you can save the data to tape and load it when you want! This synth was used by 808 State but the synth sounds a lot like Orbital's 'In-sides' album. A rackmount version was also released, called the Bit-01.

Nerd Stuff:
The Crumar Bit 99 is a 61 key (velocity sensitive), 6 voice, bi-timbral digital/analog hybrid synthesizer, featuring dual oscillators, 24dB resonant low pass filter, dedicated VCF and VCA ADSR envelopes, dual LFOs, a patch chain, and MIDI."

Indecent Machines Sound FX Sample Pack

Published on Sep 8, 2013 the coil·1 video

"Indecent Machines is an industrial sci-fi sample collection of cybernetic machines featuring 1.7 gigabytes of 24-bit/96khz samples and bundled Kontakt kits, created by producer/sound designer Chad Glenn. Inspired by a concept of mechanical disrepair and emergent AI consciousness, these sounds originated from field and studio recordings of various machines which were then processed through custom DSP algorithms using Kyma and other sound design tools. The result is a unique set of mutant robotics, mechanical snippets, evolving textures, rhythmic artifacts and menacing atmospheres appropriate for music and sound design projects of all kinds.

audio demo by Chad Glenn using only sounds from the Indecent Machines sample pack.
