New Metasonix Moon

The naked butt of the new Metasonix. And of course new graphics are going up daily on umop.

Moon as in mooning someone. My lame attempt at humor, not the actual name of the new unit.

Update: Bill O'Reilly is a Putz? See the comments for more.

Audio Damage Ricochet

The latest from Audio Damage. Not out yet, but I'm guessing close.

"Ricochet is a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use multi-tap delay, with the signature Audio Damage sound. Featuring a 16-step grid for programming tap time, Ricochet is right at home in modern electronic music production, designed specifically for that context, and is much quicker to program than the run-of-the-mill multi-tap."

More info including samples on the Audio Damage website.

MOOG Song Producer

this auction

"For sale an super- rare- impossible- to- find Moog Song Producer for the Commodore 64. Pratically it is a Midi/Triggering interface which uses the Commodore 64 as its DAW. It comes with original package, software and diskette, plus alot of tech notes (yeah .. very uber-vintage feel !) The pictures below show the MSP for sale and those are real screen pics of the beast at work. The C64 in the pictures is NOT included in the auction.

Lots of geeky info out there if you Google "Moog Song Producer" (click here for results) without mentioning all the C64 blogs."

Update: I've updated the flickr shots with larger ones.

Philips PCM100

this auction.

"For sale an impossible- to- operate- but- very- rare Philips PCM100. I am selling it because I cant find a manual and I do not dare to circuit bend it myself. Pratically it is a FM synth with a bunch of presets, a membrane keyboard, 8k of memory and it boasts a cassette recorder. It works but I can only make her play the 3 demo songs. It uses batteries or a normal 9V adapter (both not supplied)."

Update: I've updated the flickr shots with larger ones.

"I’ve said it before: I love drum machines. Hardware or software it makes no difference they all are great! Making some super noises that are heard all around the world from Uppsala, Sweden is Mike Janney and his company Audiorealism. I was a fan of their first two products the ABL (303 emulation) and ABL Pro (Roland sounding modular) so much so I endorsed the ABL. I was seriously pleased to hear Mike’s new project was a drum machine and it’s been out for a while so I thought I’d share a useful “tip”."

Larry Henry's Studio for Sale

"Many of you viewing this page may have known my father, Larry “Stooge” Hendry. While after his death, he left behind a great legacy to his family and friends, he also left behind a studio full of musical gear. This site has been created to showcase the contents of the entire studio in hopes to sell it as one piece. I know that anyone interested in such items lacks the need or desire for a great number of the items contained herein, but this approach must be worth at least one shot. It sure beats piecing things out in a thousand different e-bay transactions. I have compiled estimated values, which are being listed along with the product descriptions, and I am offering this at a substantial discount from the total value. I am hoping that someone will want many of the items contained in the package, and see the remainder as an investment opportunity. There is certainly more money to be made individually selling these items, but my time is precious."

Update via Adam in the comments:
"This is a completely genuine book cover, which I found in Bangalore, India. I thought it was hysterical, until I opened it and saw what they write inside. Maybe I should scan a few more pages later, because the stuff they write there is just unreal.
I decided to invest $2 in buying it and I haven't regretted it since."
