Unusual Electronic Music Controllers From KMI At NAMM 2019

Published on Feb 3, 2019 Synthtopia

"At the 2019 NAMM Show, Keith McMillen Instruments was showing a complete line of unusual music controllers.

Their line is based around 'Smart Fabric', which means that it doesn't rely on movable parts, like most instruments and music gear. The technology also allows the devices to sense a variety of types of touch, allowing the controllers to be used in very expressive ways."

Retro Review & Demo - Waddington's Compute-A-Tune Toy Sequencer

Published on Feb 3, 2019 ChrisLody

"This is the Waddington's Compute-A-Tune which is a tiny toy sequencer and keyboard that was released, at my best guest, in the late 1970's or early 1980's. Cool little thing I hope you'll agree :D

Here's the song I made with it:"

#Jamuary Day 21 - Waddingtons Compute-A-Tone Toy Sequencer

Published on Jan 21, 2019 ChrisLody

"Day 21 of Jamuary

I have to confess that I made this back on the 5th of Jan as part of Jamuary but made a better tune immediately after. Time is short today though. This was made using only the 1970s maybe 1980s Waddigtons Compute-A-Tune toy sequencer and a 4 track. For me it invokes the sound of cold war number stations, the little musical bits in between all the code. Like something from The Lincolnshire Poacher broadcast."

Song-A-Day & #RPM Challenge 3 - TV Love Ballad on Yamaha P115 Piano and Cs2x Strings

Published on Feb 3, 2019 ChrisLody

Nice custom silver knobs on the CS2X.

"Song-A-Day & #RPM Challenge 3

I woke up and this popped into my head within about 5 minutes this morning. I must be feeling in a particularly cheesy mood, because this sounds like TV movie music to me. The piano is played on a Yamaha P115 and the sting sounds are from the Yamaha Cs2x (PII 033 St:Simple preset). Try not to weep, the story works out okay in the end."
