All Kinds Of Fun New Toys...
Yep, just a whole heapin' pile of fun stuff came out this weekend. In no particular order: 1\. Valhalla DSP releases ValhallaFreqEcho MkI : Sean Costello, who comments here often (but don't let that dissuade you) and…

Tiny DIY Digi-Synth That Doesn't Look Like It Sucks...
I don't want to count my chickens before they've hatched or anything, but I have the distinct impression that I scooped both CDM and Matrixsynth on this item, unless my memory (which, I'll grant, is getting a bit…

And It Fits (Just)...
Believe it or not, I was able to get that CP80B in to my office. Had to take out a lot of shit, but it was shit I obviously needed in here less than a CP80B. For the morbidly curious, I've tuned the center three octaves…

Best Gear Score Evar...
Last night my friend Mike Fisher and I went to an auction. The actual brick-and-mortar kind, with an auctioneer and guys yelling and rows of chairs. Most of the shit auctioned was exactly that (at one point the…

Sweet Baby Jesus But This Dude Can Fugue...
This is from some old "Synths Are Frakkin' Awesome" video of the sort that crop up now and again. Dude's name is Don Muro, and he's got a Korg DS-8 and something I can't quite make out under it, and the whole rig is set…

Candy For Eyeballs...
Adam and I have been having an ongoing... well, "argument" is too strong a word. "Discussion" would be better, although it does get heated at times. The subject is eye candy in plug-ins, specifically things that are…

The Usual... errrr... Thursday Bullshit...
Been an exceedingly busy week here. As anyone that doesn't still live in their mom's basement knows, even a small unproblematic cross-city move entails many minor details. A large move, one involving a couple businesses…

Nerdcore...
If, for some reason, you own both a gigantic modular synthesizer and a Frontier Design Tango (20-bit version), Adam has taken the time to document how to modify the Tango so you can use Expert Sleepers Silent Way or…

Almost Like Christmas...
I've got a lot more room here in the new joint than I did in our apartment in PDX, so I was able to drag some old boxes from storage back in to the light of day. Since they're all just marked "Studio (Fragile)" and…

On The Cusp...
As one of the business's worst-kept secrets, virtually everyone knows that Apple will announce a tablet computer tomorrow. Virtually everyone also knows that there won't be too many surprises. It's going to be, for all…

Movin' On Up... (FREE SHIT ALERT!)
The coming couple of weeks will be fairly hectic, so don't expect me to put any lengthy missives up here unless the mood seriously strikes. We're moving from PDX to PHX on Valentine's day, and as any of you that have…

Tattoo Updated to 1.0.3...
We have updated both the Windows and OS X versions of Tattoo. In this update: 1\. Flamming when changing patterns, fixed. 2\. The reset note for MIDI Note Sync mode wasn't working correctly, now fixed. 3\. Digital…

Get Off My Lawn!
NOTE: I wrote this bit for my column in Computer Music, but I just couldn't make my point in the space they allot me, and I didn't want to toss it, so I decided to put it up here for discussion instead. I was trying…
-
To Infinity (And Beyond)...
\[Insert Pithy Apology About Not Posting\] I find it interesting that I feel obligated to post on a more-or-less daily basis, as if Analog Industries was a real job or something. When three days skate by without a post…

A Whole Slew Of Mini Reviews...
Just some quick off-the-cuff remarks about shit I've picked up recently. (Today, in fact.) Novation Launchpad: I've only had this for a half an hour, so I can't really say "OMGWTF?" or anything like that. I will say…
