Hard Mod Electronics are based in Mexico and just presented some images of an upcoming new device that looks interesting made of a Matrix – shown here (delivered by Ghielmetti, CH) they posted something about this thing coming up next – the real source synthi – sort of EMS inspired thing, so the matrix may play a role sooner or later in here.. ?   they also did a VL1 mod that looks totally nerdy and cool, like a heavily expanded synth with envelopes, echo, oscillators that are being controlled…

InfoQ: Archaeopteryx: A Ruby MIDI Generator

InfoQ: Archaeopteryx: A Ruby MIDI Generator. Summary Giles Bowkett captures the heart and soul of the RubyFringe conference as he demonstrates his revolutionary Archaeopteryx MIDI generator. He delivers an eloquent, highly politicized call to action in a career-defining presentation that is raucously hilarious yet unnerving in its practicality. – It’s about PROBABILITY and Standard-Beat.Matrix(es). I really like this guy – He also delivers sort of philosophy of his own and demoes the PROBAILITY MATRIX Stuff. When do we have that stuff in our tribes? Also watch this Video Archaeopteryx: Ruby…

REVIEW / TEST Oberheim X-Pander (Xpander)

sorry.. review currently german only.. By M.Irmer / Moogulator Nur um Verwechselungen vorzubeugen, es gibt noch einen anderen (Oberheim) Xpander, den OBXpander, die tastenlose Version des OB-X. Aber schon an den Bildern sieht man, hier geht es um DEN Xpander (nicht Expander), der 1984 gebaut worden ist. Der Xpander ist ein Analoger! Nicht vergessen darf man aber, dass die analogen Baugruppen durch digitale Steuersignale kontrolliert werden. Dazu dient innen ein, heutzutage eher weniger kraftvoller, 8bit Prozessor. Es gibt auch eine Tastaturversion, den Matrix12. Er ist 1985 zum ersten mal aufgetaucht…
