The Button Box

Title link takes you to the post on the Music Hardware blog with video including a performance and how it works by Evan Morris. What's interesting is in the end of the video he mentions a couple of links but shows links to the MIDIBox website, uCAapps.de. Wonder what the affiliation is...

"homebuilt midi controller from artist Evan Morris. The box is a button based wave sequencing system that chops and loops audio files in real time using a Reaktor Ensemble."

Crazy Analog

Title link takes you to Crazy Analog, a S. Korean dealer site with loads of gear shots. This one came in via Ken MacBeth, of MacBeth Studio Systems. BTW, if you are on the hunt for a brand new boxed M3X, at a discount, these guys have a few.

They didn't have a nice shot of the M3X, so here's a Moog Source from them instead.


Via Ken MacBeth on AH:
"Hi All! Many people on this list have asked me or made enquiries regarding the availability of the M3X synth that I used to build- I met my S.Korean dealer, Lee, in Frankfurt- to my surprise, he told me that there are 11 available from midistation in S.Korea and a very good price- they were $2200.00USD- but now Lee has dropped his price to $1450.00USD which is a great deal for those who want a brand new, boxed (un-opened) M3X- these one's are special too- featuring blue led's instead of the orange ones! Crikey- remember when blue leds were in fashion!!"

Monome

Cool button based MIDI device. Title link takes you to the Monome site with video. Via Analog Industries.

Suzanne Ciani

This one sent in via Tony Saunders. Title link takes you to the Early Suzanne Ciani webpage with video clips including Buchla. Make sure to track back to the root of the site for more on Suzanne Ciani and don't miss this page on Buchla. Thanks Tony!

Update: John Simmons was checking out the site and found this gem. It's a video of Suzanne Ciani creating the sound for the pinball game Xenon. Note the Xenon was released in 1979 according to this site. You can see the NED Synclavier used to sample the sounds in the video and then the guy inserting the chips with the samples in the pinball machine. Pretty cool. Thanks John!

EMS Soundbeam

Title link takes you to a video of the EMS Soundbeam from this auction. Via Sandro. Thanks Sandro!
