Wavemakers - New Shots and New Samples Up


You can find them here. When you get there, click on the music knob for new samples and click on the photos knob for new shots.

Dubsounds

Title link takes you to Dubsounds. Along with a section on the Moog Polymoog including history, resources, restoration, owners directory, and the polymoog owner's club, there are member studio shots, samples, a forum and more. Via Jordon Gibson.

Access Virus TI Racked

Title link takes you there. Via Mr. Array way back in the comments of this post. I thought I put this up already, but I can't find it, so here it goes.
Note the new ins and outs on the bottom surface which becomes the back when racked.

The Freesound Project

Title link takes you to The Freesound Project, home of a ton of free samples. When you get there try a search on anything on the top right. Results will come back with sounds that match what you are searching. All of the samples are free to use via the Creative Commons license. Pretty cool. There is also Google maps integration where you can actually see where some of the samples, like trains come from, but I couldn't figure out how to trigger the sample when browsing the map. I'll need to try it again. Saw this via CDM.

Casio CZ-1 - New Flickr Set



flickr by asgberg. Title link takes you to more.

Roland, Yamaha and Casio Manuals

In via Loscha. Bookmarking these for when we need them. Note that if you don't find what you want, try again. For example I searched for SK-1 on the casio site and nothing came back. Loscha suggested I try SK, and sure enough I got results.

Casio
Yamaha
Roland (must register first, but, it's free)

The First MIDI Butt Controller

Well, aside from shakin' it in front of a theremin I guess.

The Animazoo Gypsy 2.

"Enormous Capture Area -- Capture motion data wherever you need to – indoors or out."

Title link takes you there.

Numan with Billy on YouTube

This one in via Jordan Gibson. These are great. It amazes me to think this is all live, no MIDI, no sequencers and no computers. And... all analog.

"By the way, I just saw your comments on Billie Currie playing with Ultravox and his involvement with the Numan band (Cars video etc).

Not sure if you've linked to this before or not, but here are the two tracks Numan did on The Old Grey Whistle Test back then, featuring Billie on Odyssey once again. Good Moog Porn too ;) link

Cheers,
Jordan"

BTW, that's Billy Currie in the background.

Penny & Giles MM16 MIDI controller

Title link takes you to a couple of more shots pulled from this auction.

Details:

Penny & Giles MM16 MIDI MANAGER ( 6 unit 19" rack )

These units were designed for the pro studio. They are quite rare because of their expense: originally over £1500 I think.

The unit is quite easy to program with 16 x P&G backlit endless moving belt faders, buttons (momentary or toggle on/off), rotary encoder wheel and LCD screen.

The MM16 is designed to provide accessibility to the myriad parameters that exist within even a modest MIDI set-up.

There are two basic modes of operation, Workstation Mode and MM16 Mode.

Workstation Mode:
...allows the user to exercise control over the various Digital Audio Workstations
...by generating and receiving MIDI commands...

MM16 Mode:
In this, the MM16 is a general-purpose MIDI controller with all of the control elements programmable by the user...
16 programmable P&G backlit endless belt faders,
16 programmable (toggle/momentary) illuminated button switches.
2 footswitch jack inputs
16 MIDI DIN sockets;
MIDI Merge IN and THRU
6 Main MIDI OUT
MIDI Control IN and THRU
6 Aux MIDI OUT
Control buttons for external sequencer;
