Silver Glitter x0xb0x Synthesizer
via this auction"x0x with a special metal flake automotive paint from House of Kolor. It's a 4-stage paint, including primer, base coat, sparkly middle coat, and top clear coat. It was all shot through my Sata II paint gun in my garage and I must say it looks fantastic. It reminds me of Kustom amps from the 70s. It's basically like 70s boat paint! The back panel is a clear acrylic panel, which allows you to see all the analog goodness that makes this little guy sound so great!
The only mods done to the x0x were the bass boost mod, as well as the addition of a power switch on the back panel. Everything else is stock, with Adafruit firmware. It sounds fantastic, and will kick out sweet acid basslines all week while looking chic in your rig. When cutting the hole for the power switch, the acrylic cracked a tiny bit, which I've shown in a closeup photo. It's not very noticeable."

MIDI-to for iPad
MiDi-to iPad application showcase from MiDi-to app on Vimeo.
iPads on eBay
iPads on Amazon
"MiDi-to is a wireless DJ MiDi controller designed for Serato Scratch Live™. It is the first iPad MiDi controller designed for Serato that does not need any additional software to work. MiDi-to takes advantage of the new Core MIDI framework available with iOS 4.2 which minimizes setup and latency.
Our philosophy is to bring back the DJ's attention to their DJ set instead of their computer.
MiDi-to is designed by DJs for DJs with ease of use and ergonomics as priorities. It is a performance tool that empowers Serato users to control Cue points, FXs, Loops and track selection directly on the iPad. We tried to create a layout that is uncluttered and functional.
MiDi-to's features are divided into 3 practical views.
MAIN VIEW:Trigger Cue points
Trigger Samples
Use your "Ultra Knob" FX and all the latest presets
Set manual loops
Set auto-loops on the fly
Reverse or "censor" the playing track
Change playback mode between Absolute, Relative and Internal quickly in emergencies (cleaning your needle for example)
FX VIEW:Control your FX in "Super Knob Mode" for each deck.
In this view you can have up to 3 simultaneous FXs per deck.
All the latest Serato FX presets are included for quick and precise manipulation via ergonomic virtual faders.
Change the rhythm of the FX on the fly.
LIBRARY VIEW:Navigate through your Crates and tracks directly from your iPad
Assign a song to the desired deck and play it!
The MiDi-to equipped iPad can be seamlessly integrated into a DJ setup providing a more hands-on approach to Serato's features while enabling the DJ to perform in novel ways.
MiDi-to's ambition is to become the platform for combining Turntablist and Controllerist performance techniques, for the next step in DJing.
MIDI-TO REQUIRES SERATO SCRATCH LIVE™ SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE CONNECTED TO A WI-FI EQUIPPED MAC. IT HAS BEEN TESTED AND OPTIMIZED FOR THE SL1 INTERFACE.
NO ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE NEEDED.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DOWNLOAD OUR OPTIMIZED SERATO MIDI MAPPING PRESET FROM OUR WEBSITE FOR A QUICK AND EASY SETUP.
You just need to connect the iPad to your computer via Wi-Fi.
FOR MORE INFO AND A STEP BY STEP VIDEO TUTORIAL PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE WWW.MIDI-TO.COM"

"Here's a video of me, Kirk Markarian, playing my Sidrassi Organ. My effect list is:
Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man
MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay
ZVEX Vexter Fuzz Factory
Electro-Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi
ProCo Rat 2
ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky
I don't use all of these effects at the same time. Less is more, quite often. The only effect that is on all the time is the Electro-Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi, because it gives me the sound I'm looking for."

"This is the first column of what hopefully will become a series about the ins and outs of Synth Do-It-Yourself. I haven’t decided yet on the exact format, but Synth DIY is something I like to do personally. In the past I received several mails and messages from people asking me what to do or choose I thought this column would be a good place to share information, tips, tricks and thoughts.
There are a few simple thoughts about and ‘rules’ from the Synth DIY scene to let you decide whether you should try it."You can sub here if you have an RSS reader.

Q&A on IndieGames.com
Southend Interactive is an independently financed game studio based in Malmö, Sweden. According to manager Fredrik Erlandsson, the company has refrained from entering their products in the Independent Games Festival because they see it more as a forum for less experienced devs. However the design methodologies underlying Windows Phone 7 and Xbox Live Arcade puzzler ilomilo have embodied an independent spirit.
"Someone comes up with an idea and presents it to the team," says composer Daniel Olsén. "If people like it, we’ll start working on a pitch to show to publishers. We also have something called “hippie day” when we sit down in small groups and try to come up with ideas for pitches. Usually, whoever comes up with the idea is the one who stays in charge of the project later on. That’s pretty much it."
Close to one hour (not all of it is used for the mobile version) of music has been written for the game, which is out now for the Windows mobile device and will see an official release on XBLA in early January. A full-length remix album is also in the works, care of art director Simon Flesser. We caught up with the game's composer to hear about his music score, which in its endearing use of eclectic instrumentation and imprecise harmony lends a childlike quality to the overall game design."

"*Note: Internal laptop speakers will not properly reproduce the low frequency sounds utilized in the piece, please uses external speakers.
-This is documentation of a recent audio/visual installation that explores an analogues relationship between sound and image. Sound is generated and modified algorithmically and is visualized through the utilization of the phosphorescent capabilities of antiquated television technology. Each television has been modified to display the electrical signal associated with the sound transforming it into patterns and imagery."
Note: I created a new "Art Installations" label for these types of posts. This is the first. I'll update older posts as/if I have time. As always, if I miss labels in posts, feel free to call them out.
