"It is essentially an updated Bit01 with new cosmetics, which afaik was released by LEM shortly after their acquisition of Crumar... Programs are also directly interchangeable with the Bit01, which used an identical voice architecture."

wavetable interlace / cross granulation

YouTube via stphnmnslw | September 09, 2010

"two sounds being interlaced in what you could call wavetable interlacing or cross granulation.. the two sound sources are a documentary about electronic music and the amen break.. if you listen closely you can hear that the documentary is talking about EMS and Peter Zinovieff ."

2010-02-28 Minimal Acid Jam (Dual-Vco-x0xb0x, DSI Evolver, Jomox 888)

YouTube via KeepUpOnIt | September 09, 2010

"This is a very minimalistic test of the x0xb0x VCO2 mod I installed in February.
Up to 02:15 VCO1 only, afterwards VCO+VCO2, at 03:55 some VCO2 detuning.

If you like it or have questions, leave a comment or write a message to make me happy, if you don't like it - make sure to check out Zx7XcExWFno and help to protect the forest to make the beavers happy."

2010-08-14 Voltage Magic (x0xi0-x0xb0x VCO1+2 X-MOD Testing)

KeepUpOnIt | September 09, 2010

"Another very minimalistic video, just demonstrating the VCO1+VCO2 crossmodulation sound of the x0xi0 x0xb0x mod. Its so warm, I really like it. This is not a sequence, as you can see - the "gate on" switch on the left side is on and so gate is never released, which does cause this permanent sound. Some Jomox 888 sounds by gestures (not working correctly yet)

- Up to 00:30 VCO2 only, no xmod
- 00:30 VCO2 only, modulated by VCO1 a bit
- 00:56 VCO2 only, modulated by VCO1 a bit more
- 02:16 VCO2 only, modulated by VCO1 even a bit more
- 02:24 tuning VCO1 down and turning cross modulation off again
- 02:43 tuning VCO2 up
- 03:41 reversing x-mod from initial "VCO1 modulates VCO2" to "VCO2 modulates VCO1"
- 03:44 turning VCO2 volume up, you hear VCO1 + VCO2 parallel, no X-MOD
- 03:56 VCO1+VCO2 parallel, turning up VCO2 modulates VCO1 X-MOD

Listen loud, don't forget to turn bass up. If you don't like it, its not my fault, its the fault of a Beaver! If you like it or have questions - leave a comment or write a message. Bless the Voltage!"

Apple - iPad - iPad is Musical & Apple Opens Up iOS

YouTube via Apple | September 07, 2010
iPads on Ebay
"Musical one moment, and medical the next, iPad is never just one thing. Go to apple.com/iPad to learn more about what makes iPad so revolutionary."

Odd that the video didn't include more music apps? On the news front, Apple is opening up iOS to 3rd Party developer tools as long as the apps themselves do not download any code. via MacRumors.com. Also see CDM for an in depth post on what this might mean for music apps.

"We are continually trying to make the App Store even better. We have listened to our developers and taken much of their feedback to heart. Based on their input, today we are making some important changes to our iOS Developer Program license in sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2 and 3.3.9 to relax some restrictions we put in place earlier this year.

In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need."
