TIJUANA SOUND MACHINE
After a decade of having created the sound that defines the border, The Nortec collective evolves. From this metamorphosis, appears the current production that is Tijuana Sound Machine which include Bostich+Fussible. When Nortec fused electronica with the popular sounds of northern Mexico, it created that unique sound that has become emblematic not only of the border, but of an entire generation. In Tijuana Sound Machine, Nortec, via the experimentation with new technology and the consolidation of a rhythm, again, reestablishes the well know sounds of Bostich+Fussible. Tijuana Sound Machine, more than a new album, creates a new city, fully created by this pure sounds.

"Jamming with 3 machines: TR707 for drums, MC303 sequencing the AN200 for the 303-ish sound. The MC303 is not outputting any audio.
Just trying to get a groove on."

via this auction

http://www.touchprone.com/"If you want that BOOOOMM, the essential TR-808 kick, but a full 808 is beyond your reach, this clone will satisfy the craving. A faithful reproduction of the original, with the addition of a Tune (pitch) control and MIDI triggering. Built from the original circuit, all components are of highest quality, including MKT caps, 1% metal film resistors and 2SC945 transistors. Push the 'learn' button on power up to teach it any MIDI note and channel you send and you're set to go. The learnt MIDI setting is stored so doesn't need resetting every time you use it. Tune, Tone and Decay controls, MIDI input for triggering, 1/4" audio trigger input, 1/4" line-level audio output, 2.1mm 12VAC power input, and a Tap trigger for adding fills and testing sound settings. Power supply is not included but is easily obtainable from Radio Shack, Dick Smith, Jaycar etc,. This item is new and warranted for 12 months.

See the write-up on Sonic State. A modern day Oberheim Strummer with it's own sound engine including amp models, effects and more.

Musikmesse: MESSE09:CopperLAN - One Wire To Link Them All

see the write-up on Sonic State. I didn't watch the full video, but from what I can tell CopperLAN is a new audio and networking protocol that can be used on any device, allowing you to break away from the computer. Think DIY and MIDI on steroids, supporting audio as well as MIDI.

"What is CopperLAN?
* Protocol and networking system for audio + command & control
* Based on existing hardware standards
* Self-configuring, plug and play
* Compatible with MIDI
* Turnkey solution: protocol, hardware solutions, middleware, driver and application code"

Be sure to see Sonic State for more.

aM laboratory ToneMatrix, Karplus-Strong Guitar, ToneWheels and More

Online instruments by via Andre Michelle. Start with ToneMatrix and then click on the Karplus-Strong Guitar at the bottom right of the matrix, followed by ToneWheels.

ToneMatrix:
"Simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlaying wave-map, which makes it more cute."

Karplus-Strong Guitar
"This is a Karplus-Strong algorithm implementation, synthesizing a 6-sided guitar without any sample material in AS3. The result is simply amazing and there is still room for tweaking. The guitar body is just simulated by two mixed in low-pass filter with resonance. Also the sequencer is static at the moment. However you have some controls over the general playing characteristics We will develop the guitar for the [hobnox] AudioTool. Thus no sources this time."

ToneWheels
"The particles have their own note value, while the wheels affect their octave. Drag them all to alter the melody."
