You can see all the podcasts on our new website or on Youtube. They'll soon be available as iTunes podcasts, but just like many Apple products (including the next iPhone) we don't know exactly when :)

We are soon launching a Virtuality Video Contest - send us an email and we'll send you the details as they unfold." Contact link is under the Amin Bhatia link on http://www.aminbhatia.com/.

JLCOOPER/OBERFACE midi inputs and outputs for DSX

via this auction

Not the best shots, but you don't see these often.

"This unit works in tandem with the Oberheim DSX providing inputs and outputs. Its task is to allow theDSX to take control of its memory, and to have the numbers representing voice notes, keyboard notes, program # etc. be in exactly the same places and in the same form that the DSX is expecting to find them At the same time, it has to handle Midi information input and output."
