Eigenharp, i think someone in the cantina played this...

Check out the eigenharp, a pretty neat usb controller that features a bunch of buttons, some touch strips, and a breath controller. Too bad it looks to only use proprietary software. But its still in alpha release so maybe they will open it up to some other more common software. Either way maybe those middle school oboe lessons weren't a complete waste.

All that button mashing and lost quarters can be some good use...

This DIY controller features 16 arcade style buttons and LEDs to create a nice little MIDI contoller. I say you should mic it too, and have a sweet clicky click click solo of the buttons. Next gen from these guys will add 2 little joysticks. DjTechTools

Tenori-On now in orange flavor!

Yamaha is releasing the Tenori-on with orange instead of white LEDs a little cheaper because it wont run on batteries and doesnt have the LEDs in the back for the maximo showmanship.

Stylophone Beatbox, might be worth $25

Check out the stylophone beatbox, loaded up with samples of some famous beatboxes and a few other fun functions, it just might be worth the $25.50 price tag.

Mustaches!

I saw this product ($7), which I find quite amusing....



And it reminded me of one of the best music videos of all time, the Soft Pink Truth - Promofunk.

Speaking piano

Some Austrians using computers and a real piano make analog synthesized speech. Basically they have an actuator over every key on a piano, and they figured out how to use a computer to control the set up such that a series of keys pressed together in certain ways creates speech. The voice kind of scares me, but the choice of a little boy would do that.

Novation grid controller, yet another monome clone

Novation is shipping in the beginning of November their version of the monome. Whats nice about it is that its designed with Abelton's Live in mind. With a $200 price tag it seems like it might be good for someone who has been thinking of trying one of these controllers out to give it a whirl. Check out the video below and more info @ create digital music.

Korg microSAMPLER

The Korg microSAMPLER is almost awesome. Its got a bunch of great sampler features, and I do like the keyboard and that It can run for a few hours on half a dozen AA batteries. But what sucks is that there's no vocoder, suprising since it has elements of the KAOSS pad, and a built in mic like the venerable microKORG. Retail around $700.

BASS!!

THANKs WYATT.

In other news...squirrels are cute

This picture makes me laugh, from Nat. Geo website

My husband and I were exploring Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park-Canada when we stopped for a timed picture of the two of us. We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intriqued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot!

Humanthesizer

Take a bunch of hot chicks, some smart guys from the Royal College of Art over in Britain, add in a relatively egotistical dance musician, and you get a synthesizer triggered by humans, not in your normal way. Watch the video for more.

Snacks and Shit

Check out the hilarious blog Snacks and Shit, a blog dedicated to the ridiculous lyrics of hip hop and rap songs. They take lyrics, and interpret them literally, hilarity ensues.

"No room service just snacks and shit."
- Jay-Z, Hey Papi

Honestly, this sounds more like something my dad would say. "Remember, no ordering room service. It's too expensive. Plus, I brought snacks."

Sonic Charge Synplant

Grow

Synplant is a software synthesizer with a genetic approach to sound creation. Instead of creating patches the conventional way by turning dials and knobs, Synplant lets you explore a world of organic sounds by planting seeds that grow into synth patches.

Mutate

Once you are ready to get your hands dirty and dig deeper into the anatomy of Synplant you will have the option to crack open your sound seeds and modify their underlying genetic code.

Create

The purpose of this product is to move focus away from the sometimes intricate and difficult process of sound synthesis and instead let you develop sounds by simply using your ears. You will find that creating synth patches with Synplant will be as easy as listening and deciding what you like and then having the sounds evolve in the directions you desire.

Although Synplant is exceedingly easy to use, whatever you do, do not let its relative simplicity fool you. Beneath its straightforward and playful interface you will find a versatile synthesizer of the utmost quality with lots of character.

If you're like me you tap your shoes a lot. Well now you can put it to some good use. A piezo-electric generator in shoes? A chair that counts calories? Nope... A midi controller with sensors embedded into the heel and toe. Complete with a How to so you can do it too!

Add some analog warmth to your favorite room

Check out these lamps made from recycled cassette tapes from ooomydesign. Pretty neat, I dunno if they sell them here in the U.S. but worth checking out. As a designer I won't say you might be able do this at home, support the industry.
