Microsoft Announces Surface 2 "Remix Project" with MPC Style Control Pads

Remix Project -- Linkin Park's Joe Hahn

Published on Sep 23, 2013 surface·69 videos

"Joe Hahn explains why the Surface Music Kit is an easy way to start remixing music the way you want. Learn more at www.surfaceremixproject.com."

"The Surface Music Kit is compatible with Surface 2, Surface Pro, and Surface Pro 2. Internet access required for installation." Go with Pro if you want to run the full gamut of Windows apps. RT only supports apps specifically designed for it. Also I don't not believe Windows RT supports external MIDI devices. If you know otherwise feel free to comment.

The following video focuses on other snap on interface options for the Surface.  Remix Project makes an appearance.  Further below is a video on the Remix Project from Engadget.

Surface Workshop at Art Center College of Design

Published on Sep 23, 2013

"Three weeks before launching its new line of products, the Surface design team took a trip to Pasadena, CA, where they held a 3 day workshop with renowned design school Art Center College of Design.

The group of 11 students chosen for the workshop were the first people outside of Microsoft to see a new accessory the design team has been working on: a music attachment that clicks into a Surface and allows users to easily remix music. They asked the students: what else would you want to attach to a Surface? They code named these attachments blades."

"Microsoft Surface 2 Remix Project Hands-On. Read on at Engadget:"

http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/23/microsoft-surface-remix-project-hands-on/

"Inside the application, you'll find "stems" (things like the bass track of a song), "clips" (the intro to a pop song, say) and "oneshots," which include sound effects like claps. From there, you can drag and drop the tracks into a workshop area, not unlike the way you'd handle media in a video-cutting program (or any other digital audio workshop, really). What's especially cool is that the Touch Cover here is pressure-sensitive, just like the new Touch Cover 2, so if you want a light drum sound, you can tap it lightly; if you want something more intense, just start mashing it with your fingers..."

"This is a Moog in suitcase. A synth designed by MuSonics and worked on by Bob Moog. The X/Y LFO's allow you to create layers of modulation that ad depth to any sound. The filter sounds amazing; I have never heard a filter oscillate as loudly and smooth as this synth's. This synth was fully restored by one of NYC's finest synth repair shops. I have a receipt from August 2013 that shows this synth was fully cleaned, calibrated and tested 100% functional. The speaker was even replaced with a newer, higher quality speaker that sounds nice. The speaker is great for coming up with sounds in your room, or taking the synth over to a friends place to write music. This synth has ring mod, separate outs for the pre-filter oscillator signals, oscillator sync, the LFO's can trigger the oscillator... there is so much this synth can do that even modern analog synths don't tackle..."

Vintage Fire Moog Modular 912 Envelope Follower

via the seller / listing: "Okay. This is a vintage Moog Modular 912 Envelope Follower. And it LOOKS LIKE IT WAS IN A FIRE at some point. I came across it about ten years ago when I got my now-newly-sold Moog Modular system. I bought it only from looking at the front panel and while I was surprised at the condition when it arrived, I figured that seeing as how it was repaired and the front panel isn't wrecked, it really made no difference because this item is a function generator, not a sound generator. Before you bid on this, look carefully at the circuit board and the electronics. I never plugged this in and so I'm selling it as-is ASSUMING that it works. It looks like the diodes, transistors and variable resistors were replaced. And judging from the new solder points and new parts, some care went into restoring it. The front panel could use some more cleaning, but it's actually good to stick in your box right now. The front panel looks fine. Not great. But not awful either. Look at the picture. Your mom will never notice.

If nothing else it will be an interesting piece of history and quite a conversation piece in your modular system because it's a REAL MOOG MODULE so get over yourself. Where else are you going to find one of these? Probably nowhere. So decide what you're gonna do. Time's wasting. You may have a 911 and a 913 so fill in that gap with this HOT little number 912. This little guy really looks like a hero if you ask me (which you would if you were here), it's been through so much. It might be the sole survivor of a Big Moog Flameout for all we know. A Moog Champion. Maybe he pulled a trigger delay out with him and gave it input to output resuscitation. We'll never know what stories it holds in its quiet, yet proud circuitry. Right now it's just an orphan with no modular buddies to follow and swap voltages with. It's sad, really. But you can help. And I think you know the right thing to do. Yes, you do.

I have no way to test this, otherwise I would. But just like trying to choose the sex of your child, there are no guarantees. And like your teenage son, it may or may not work. But I think it does. This is all pretty exciting isn't it? What are you waiting for? Make it yours - don't let some nasty bid sniper rob you of your dreams. On behalf of this 912, I thank you."
