\[Embedded media, no longer available.\] Phosphor Test Tracks by Chris Randall Here are all the quick Phosphor demos I've done so far, all in one handy set. Interestingly, I neglected to do any pad-like stuff, a…

'Tis The Season...
Some good deals going on right now amongst the various Friends Of AI. Beatserv is having a 20% off sale on everything in the store until Friday. I personally recommend the (h)idm set. There's quite a bit of useful…

Merry Christmas, Baby...
Preach it, Brother Ray, preach it. Have a happy and safe \[acceptable celebratory paradigm of your cultural framework\].

I Bet You Wanted To See This...
(Click image for full-sized.) Avid has been doing some kind of teasing campaign for some sort of Magic Box that will be released at NAMM. Gearjunkies got the specs and posted them this morning, but Avid apparently…

Nearly Getting There...
Unfortunately, you won't be able to get Phosphor for yourself on Christmas; we're still a couple weeks away from release. But here's an early present for you: the whole UI. This is subject to change as we get further…

Disembodied Hands Are Disembodied...
In the interests of adding to the already ludicrous number of disembodied hand performance videos on YouTube, I uploaded a quick render of my hands working on a bit of the set for my upcoming micronaut show. My hands…

Out Of Due Respect...
In all deference to the Late, undeniably Great Captain Beefheart, I reprint, in its entirety, the most linked-to and visited post in the history of Analog Industries. \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \…

An Open Letter To Senator John Kyl...
Dear Senator Kyl: I'd just like to let you know, as an Arizona resident, and the owner of a small business that creates and sells software, that your support of COICA is completely and utterly misguided. Not only will…

Huh, Who'da Thunk It?
Hey, look at this. Keyboard players can over-play drum parts ludicrously ahead of the beat just like real drummers. Who knew? (For what it's worth, it's fun to make fun, but I can't do that, even ahead of the beat.) On…

ZOMG! IT'S MONDAY! WTF?
I spent the weekend working out which songs from the rather extensive Micronaut oeuvre I'm going to build a set with, and arranging and stemming same. Part of the problem with the Micronaut catalog is that most of the…

The Manta, She is Here...
The Synderphonics Manta showed up last night. My initial impression is that it's a really nice little instrument. It is functionally similar to the monome, inasmuch as it is (at its base level) a bunch of buttons and a…

Hey, Look What I Made...
That project I kept mentioning that I couldn't talk about? It's now available. Since you're reading this blog, you're most likely a musician, and since you're a musician, you most likely had a TASCAM Porta One, or one…

Welcome Back, My Friends...
A club owner I've done several shows with in the past recently contacted me, wanting to commission a single micronaut show, and (most likely due to an utter want of common sense on my part) I accepted the invitation…

Busy, Teasing, Busy, Teasing...
I'll fill this out a bit later today, but I put up another Phosphor demo in my Soundcloud account. \[Embedded media, no longer available.\] This one is 100% Phosphor, two instances. The first instance is the only thing…

Interfacing...
Lately I've become intrigued again with "alternative" interfaces. (I hesitate to use the words "tactile" or "tangible" because every interface that you don't control directly with your brain is inherently either or…
