via Zeppelin Design

"The Altura is a MIDI controller that emulates the Theremin, the classic early electronic musical instrument. As you move your hands in the air, the Altura transmits MIDI data to your synthesizer to control pitch, volume, velocity, bend, modulation, portamento, and more! Use it to control any MIDI synthesizer, such as the Macchiato Mini Synth. Ready-to-play or build it yourself from a fun and easy DIY kit! Get a sleek black acrylic cabinet — kit or ready-to-use — or make your own cardstock cabinet using the provided template.

Requires 9V DC power. Use a battery (not included) or pick up a plug-in power supply.

If you are an Arduino enthusiast, you can hack the open-source software that runs the Altura, or download updates and flash them to your controller.

Connect with your music: build your own gear!"

Native Instruments Maschine mk3 - hands-on

Published on Nov 21, 2017 Future Music Magazine

"Si Truss and Simon Arblaster get to grips with the latest Maschine from the NI stable.

The hotly anticipated Maschine mkIII is here and we have been loving its refreshed angular design, improved workflow and layout.

With a few things borrowed from Maschine Studio and its younger sibling, Maschine Jam, the mkIII feels like a more complete system. Much of this is down to the addition of an audio interface - definitely a welcome move in a world of ever-decreasing ports."
