'Amanda Chaudhary opens the evening with her blend of experimental electronic sounds with jazz, funk, and other idiomatic styles, with her visualy intriguing performance. Following is Zachary Watkins, composer-performer performs a set for solo electronics with his many influences including just intonation and “high vibration resonance.' Thea Farhadian and Silvia Matheus will present their 3rd performance in this new collaboration – working with structured and free improvisations, the duo integrates noise based material to tonal music, with real time processing. Three 25-minute sets by three musicians/composers based in the Bay Area.

This Digital Kalimba Prototype is AWESOME!!!
video upload by Musical Miscellany
"My YouTube friend Shiela from @midi_in sent me this digital kalimba prototype for feedback. This is an early prototype. She's already made changes to the design, but it shows a lot of potential. I really like the idea of a MIDI controller that conforms to scales/modes and the interface is very intuitive.

Hope you really enjoy it!
In this video, I used the the Novaion Peak Synth to create 5 diffrent sound layers that were placed over each other (Overdub) to create a single track Loop (2 mins loop) with the Aeros Loop Station. I also ran the signal into the Microcosm Hologram to give a little o colorful and Drone background sound.

- Singluar sound Aeros Loop Studio
- Microcosm Hologram Pedal
- Arturia Keystep (Only as keyboard)

"Great analog synthesizer
16 voices / 32 oscillators
Lots of modulation options
Serviced by a pro tech.
All electrolytic caps were changed to Nichicon and Rubycon
New ALPS potentiometers (lighter action) on those footprints that were skipping
Bright backlight with no dead pixels
100-240 power supply
And .... the main thing .... THIS ONE WAS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES
This is one of the first 2000-2001 year of manufacture
The synth was babied and never toured"

"I am a music hobbyist, a bassist in fact, and this synth belongs in the hands of a professional keyboard player or producer ... or anyone with more talent than me. I'm sure someday soon I'll regret selling it. But frankly though, I bought it because I couldn't wait for the Behringer UB-Xa any longer. But now that I have the UB, which in no way sounds as beautiful as the OB-X8, I'm selling the OB.
Now that I have the two to compare, the most immediate difference is the build quality of the OB so completely outshines the UB. Next is the tone. The lows and especially the lo-mids are tight and clear on the OB. The UB is a bit boomy or mushy in comparison with a tendency to overdrive without adjustment on the board. The OB also has more preset storage, 128 more locations. However, given my lack of skills, musical and financial needs, I've got to sell the OB. My loss is your benefit."
See this previous post for build quality on the UB-Xa.
