RME Fireface upgrades – more stable

I have updated the RME stuff quite a while ago when Snow Leopard was very new and they all went to 64bits. Well with taking some hurdles of updating and deleting I fixed my problems on the Mac and updated the Fireface 800 to 2.72 and now it’s also back – I can switch it on and off and nothing freezes. I had those problems after the 2.64 update and did not dare to switch it off when I did not need the audio interface (just surfing etc). so it’s back…

New Sonic Arts Granite Granular Texture Generator

Reminds me of what I did with the EPS16+ and ASR10 back in the 90s: Sampling with LFO modulated Position and other things to extend my simple „speech sample“ to make it a crowd on my first CD „regression“, well – here’s a PC only plugin that tries to do exactly that – since it is Windows this is just for you non Mac-ists. and it sounds like this to them. My answers are still on my first 3 Albums if you want to listen to recycled and looped samples..…

White Apple MacBook – Updated – Neues kleines Macbook

MacBook updated, 2.4GHz now, only 2GB built in (so get yourself cheap4GB somewhere when buying one), NVidia Geforce Graphics (!!), no Firewire (careful for audio stuff!!). So not much but better and more expensive (it’s Apple!) – get the 13″ MBP for 150€ more incl 4GB and Firewire – that’s what I’d recommend here. since FW and RAM is worth that and looks better btw. I assume this one may be for ppl who aren’t into music or video ;) Neues kleines Macbook im alten Stil mit Grafikkarte und etwas…

Roger Linn Design – Tuning & Playing – New Musical Instrument Prototype

Reminds of a C-Thru Controller crossed with Eigenharp and Haken Audio Continuum. Has sonsors for pressure and position. Also quantizes the pitches. YouTube – Roger Linn Design – New Musical Instrument Prototype. looks familiar? all explained here http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/linnstrument/index.html looks a lot like the newer kind of (almost expensive) controllers these days. touch keys and ribbons like the eigenharp. but doesn’t mean to be such a bad idea, waiting for new „input devices“. me still waiting for a simple normal keyboard that allows the keys being a controller..?
