Casio SK-1: The Everyman's Sampling Keyboard

YouTube via gearwire
"Even for those of us not long enough in the tooth to remember when the Casio SK-1 came out, the legend of this handy device looms large, even though the thing itself is not that big. One man band Willis P. Jenkins demos the SK-1 for us, and continues to amaze us with his penchant for instruments that make multitasking seem easy."

FRAME - I - (Ripple Counter) - Solar powered Art by Phillip Stearns (Pixel Form)

YouTube via pixelform
"Ripple Counter is a solar powered electronics sculpture that charges in the presence of light and turns on when it is dark. The ideal location for the installation of this piece is a sunny window. During the daylight hours, the circuit will be in a stand-by mode, charging the battery pack integrated in its design. When night falls, the circuitry activates and any sounds that make it through the glass will be visualized as a stream of trickling blue LEDs. It can be calibrated to function in a standard gallery exhibition space where it can charge off the standard incandescent lights and become activated as guests shadows pass over the surface.

Please pardon my whistling..."

yr3wk48 moog & tonematrix from longcat on Vimeo.

"with the ever wonderful moog opus 3, and the insanely addictive tone matrix from andre michelle...

it's freely usable so long as you have the most recent flash update, it reminds me of early software drum machines like hammerhead...

it seems he is creating a whole reason-ish music creation world online all run with flash, it's quite heavy on the CPU but very interesting x

lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix

the moog is still missing it's string sound, but one of it's faults allows me to just have the filter with no sound underneath which you hear at the beginning... i love this synth x"

Question on GMedia and Ohm Force

Anyone know which GMedia products if any were not done in conjunction with Ohm Force? I just added an Ohm Force label and want to remove it from any Gmedia products/posts they were not involved in to prevent any confusion.
