I have loved Bleep Labs stuff for awhile now. The Original Thingamagoop was an amazingly fun toy. Very expressive and always fun to play with. Now Dr Bleep has teamed up with NEon Indian to make this new product. Here are some details. This limited edition mini analog synthesizer is based on the Pico Paso with a few modifications designed by Dr. Bleep and Alan Palomo of Neon Indian. The biggest addition are swappable controls which allow you to easily attach the included potentiometers or photocells (or a number of other devices we’ll post about later) in any configuration to the three oscillators to create all kinds of triangle wave chaos. - Two triangle wave oscillators which can be activated independently or together, modulating each other. - Square LFO which affects the amplitude of both triangle oscillators. - 1/4″ out. - Screw terminals allow any resistive device to control the pitch of the three oscillators. I also am a fan of neon indian and am excited to hear his new record. The new single sounds very promising...

As I am getting increasingly excited over the idea of the ipad and Ableton live, I decided to do some searching on touch interfaces. In the upcoming years we are going to see more and more uses for touch technology. At first I was skeptical about the ipad, since having an iphone and a macbook book pro leave really no need for such a device. However if you think about how awesome it will be to use with Ableton live..............it is going to be really tempting. check out this new touch guitar I ran across "The intersection of the classical instrument known as a guitar and the modernist urge to modify everything has resulted in plenty of nutty, zany, and just plain questionable products in its time. It's quite a pleasure, therefore, to point you in the direction of a so-called Digital Guitar that keeps the axe looking refreshingly familiar, while turning it into something that poses a legitimate threat of actually being useful. Essentially a MIDI controller, the Misa guitar has 24 frets and a large multifunctional touchscreen, which you can use to interface with the appropriate software on your pc. We've got a video demonstration after the break, and you can hit up the source link for more info including details on how you might be able to buy one for yourself." -[]-The Blue Clover-[]- [Musik,Media,NYC Events,Gear,Gadgets and other Randomness] ---[http://theblueclover.com]---

Just ran into this on one of my favorite blogs the Matrix Synth. Pretty cool stuff here.... loopqoob is a physical performance system consisting of one or more sensor-equipped cubes connected to a computer based music generation/synthesis system. The orientation of the cubes determines an aspect of the music to be played. In the implementation presented, there are three cubes. Each face of each cube is mapped to a musical motif or loop. The 'cubist' controls which motifs are played by orienting the cubes so that the face corresponding to the desired motif faces up. http://www.muratnkonar.com/id/loopqoob/" http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com -[]-The Blue Clover-[]- [Musik,Media,NYC Events,Gear,Gadgets and other Randomness] ---[http://theblueclover.com]---
