Club of the Knobs - performance art

Saw this up on Music Thing. I've linked to Club of the Knobs for quite some time on matrixsynth.com but kind of forgot about it. The site is dedicated to the art in analog modular synthesis. There is some interesting performance art videos with plenty of modular action. Definitely check it and the site out; it's well worth it if you want to see some a giant modular in action.

The Who Synth Porn

Great video on The Who and synths. Gear porn galore! : ) In via AH.

TimewARP 2600 Goes Native!

This in via Harmony Central. The TimewARP 2600 was hailed as the best ARP 2600 soft synth by many, but it was only available in RTAS format. It will soon be released in VST and AudioUnit format as well as stand alone. I can't wait to check it out.

The Ultimate Analog

Via Music Thing. I actually saw this a bit earlier but didn't have my blog going. Better late than never. : )

Yamaha Tenori-On music box

This in via Music Thing, via Cikira. Designed by Toshio Iwai. Looks groovy... Me want one. This reminds me that I still want to pick up a Korg Kaoss pad one of these days.

More Polyevolver madness

http://www.trippler.net/files/poly/anapoly.mp3

More from Mr. Trippler. Think I'm going to need to open up a Samples section just for him. This one showcases the Polyevolver as a standard analog poly. Sounds like Mr. Trippler may be the first to tame the beast. : )

Looper's Delight

http://www.loopers-delight.com/loop.html

This just in via AH. Description from the site:

"Looper's Delight is a cultural and informational resource for musicians creating with audio loops of every sort. Loop based music essentially involves the repetition of audio samples, or loops. From that basic premise looping moves off in numerous directions, encompassing a wide range of techniques for building, manipulating, and using loops. The technique crosses many musical boundaries and appears in a wide range of musical styles and genres. "
