"The Thingamagoop 2, an amazing "handmade, analog and digital synthesizer you control with light" from Bleep Labs.

This is definitely the most bizarre "instrument" I have ever played, and one of the most fun, and I look forward to making some random noise symphonies.

This little robot is very 2012-ish."

"Finally doing some CV mods to my Korg Monotron.
CV inputs to gate, pitch and cutoff. . . controlled by ableton via MOTU Ultralite. It seems that the Monotron likes a 35K resistor in series with any incoming CV. Next, will hit the LFO Rate (monotron's "hidden" second oscillator), Resonance CV, and some feedback loop switches/pots."

Welcome to the Other Side

Just getting situated and ready to start the morning's post.  Note this isn't my official New Year's post, you can find that directly below, or here for those coming in directly to this post via RSS, Twitter or Facebook.  To get a taste of the MATRIXSYNTH audience, I thought I'd put up the following poll.  Please take it as it is of the utmost non-importance.  Don't worry, it is completely anonymous. 





New posts for the year will commence now...

Any new year's resolutions?
