Sleepy Circuits - Mezzz Available for Preorder
You might remember Sleepy Circuits' Mezzz from SUPERBOOTH23 featured here and here.
It is now available for preorder for $360.
Press release with additional details follows.
"Sleepy Circuits has announced their latest device, Mezzz, a portable handheld haptic wireless MIDI talisman that fits in the palm of your hand.
Mezzz can control over 1,000 CC messages via Bluetooth MIDI. It is class-compliant and works with hundreds of Bluetooth-enabled devices. Mezzz is easy to pair and boasts more than four hours of battery life. Mezzz features haptic-enabled encoders which make a buzz for each MIDI value and stop buzzing when you have reached the end of the MIDI CC range. Clip Mezzz to your belt or bag and bring it everywhere – shows, cafes, parks, studios or wherever your next adventure takes you!
Feature Highlights
Bluetooth Connectivity
Fully class-compliant and working with hundreds of Bluetooth MIDI enabled devices. Even older non Bluetooth devices can easily be adapted to wireless MIDI with third party hardware.
Eight Haptic Encoders
Mezzz buzzes as you change parameters, and when you reach the end of the parameter, it stops, giving immediate physical feedback. This approach brings some of the benefits of analog potentiometers to digital encoders and allows intuitive control without having to look down.
Daylight Readable LED "eye" display
The LED 'eye' ring indicates the parameter position and the current page of parameters you're currently on with its daylight-readable LEDs.
Orientation/Gesture Control (Inertial Momentum Unit)
Twist and move to the music and watch the shapes follow on the screen! The Inertial Momentum Unit uses AHRS sensor fusion to give you dynamic gestural control.
Side Buttons and Context Sensitive Center "Action" Button
Easily change the MIDI channel you’re on, and use button combinations to quickly randomize any CC message or reset a parameter back to its default state.
Hang-able, Pocketable and Fashionable
A carabiner and wrist strap is included so you can take Mezzz anywhere and look good doing it!
>4 hours of Battery Life
USB-C Charging and long-lasting battery life allows true wireless freedom.
Includes vidOS - a Cross-Platform Video Synthesis Companion App
A 3D evolution of Hypno's engine, available on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Once released this app will be free for all midi users and eventually feature premium in-depth visuals systems from the sleepy lab.
Mezzz is available for preorder now and will be shipping late November!"

Amdek Rhythm Machine

"1980s Amdek Rhythm Machine RMK-100 vintage drum machine in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. This early programmable drum machines was produced by Roland under the Amdek (later rebranded to Roland DG) banner from 1981-83, a subsidiary created exclusively to produce early computer monitors and small DIY music kits. The RMK-100 is particularly rare among analog drum machines due to its limited release and the fact that it was only produced in a kit form. It’s a step-write-style drum machine, designed to compete with the likes of the Boss DR-55.
The RMK-100 features Bass, Snare, and Open and Closed hat sounds, all distinctly warm and analog-sounding. Considering its era of production, The RMK-100 is an exceedingly versatile little machine; the Bass drum has internal trimmers for Level and Decay, and the Snare has a trimmer for Noise Level, allowing for excellent tonal sculpting capabilities. It’s a completely programmable machine, with 8 banks of 16-step pattern creation capability.
Controls are relatively simple: the four drum sounds are selected at the four-way “Sounds” switch, and the user inputs the sounds into the 16-step sequence through the two buttons (which also function as Start and Stop/Reset buttons when Play mode is engaged). A unique function of the RMK-100 is the “Filler” switch, which divides each 16-step sequence into 2, 4, or 8-step chunks and then cycles through the resultant sequences at an adjustable rate. The 8 banks are selected at the rotary bank on the right side of the unit, and there are individual knobs for Volume (also functioning as the Power switch), Accent, and Hihat Level."

1983 Linn LinnDrum LM2 w/ Original Box

Pic of the inside below.
"This was bought brand-new in August of 1983 and acquired from the original owner. It is as close to a time-capsule piece as I’ve ever seen and I’ve had 10 LinnDrum’s in the last 3 1/2 years alone. There are just a few very fine marks on the face (the small flecks in the 2nd photo are just dust) that keep it from truly being ‘mint’ which is pretty wild because the original owner actually used it. These were $2,700 back in 1983, which is over $8,000 in today’s dollars, so it’s not surprising someone took great care of it. It has been meticulously restored and is functioning as well or better than it ever did even back when it was brand-new! The circuit is unmodified to retain it’s original spec and for the fact it is so well-preserved. Another huge bonus is the individual tuning pots for the voices actually function properly and sweep with consistence. A vast majority of these machines have some degree of instability in the tuning pots due to age (DeOxit does not normally fix this issue). Not this one, though. A true collector‘s piece and one you can actually use consistently.
- Full electrolytic recap
- Auxiliary board cleaned and refurbished with battery holder and new rechargeable batteries
- All buttons cleaned and rebuilt
- All 32 faders removed, disassembled, cleaned (and repaired where necessary), lubricated, greased, and rebuilt
- ZIF quick-release sockets added to 7 voices (bass, snare, congas (x2), toms (x2), and clap)
- Factory presets reloaded
This classic piece is essentially ubiquitous with popular music starting from the day it was released. Nearly every major label recording artist and/or band used one of these somewhat extensively (that had hits, anyway). Part of that is due to Roger Linn & Co. dishing them out like tic-tacs in order to promote the machine, but that’s beside the point. The fact of the matter is this machine is all over so many songs, it would be nearly impossible to catalog them all. It’s a who’s who list of household name because it clearly made the impression they’d hoped. And the best part about it is it’s as relevant to today’s scene as it was back then. You can even swap in sounds from your other favorite drum machines to create a truly versatile, desert island instrument!
Most of these are banged up, corroded from battery acid leakage, modified poorly, unrestored, or all of the above. This is the nicest, most-complete LinnDrum available anywhere in the world. Includes original box, sales receipt, user manual, promotional paperwork, and cassette with pre-sets."
