Anyone remember the silophone? You could upload files to be played through an abandoned grain silo with a twenty second reverb trail. http://vimeo.com/9191201 I 'member. In a way, Silophone was kind of a precursor to this, yeah. I like the idea. It makes me imagine a crazy future where people's eff...

It kind of looks like how guitars turn out in cartoons, when the artist has very few points of reference with how the instrument actually needs to work.

Not sure about guitars but it, very mildly, irks me when amps with top mounted controls have them the "wrong" way round. i.e. configured to be used with you stood behind the amp. It's possibly more vintage correct (*amber*) that way but meh. Ugh, this. It also pisses me off when easily de...

As much as I love the look of a bound guitar, I really have a hard time playing them without injuring my wrists.
Same with some thicker bodied slab designs. I need curves and shit.

I feel so bad for the dude that did that demo. It's not his fault that the synth sucks so hard.




...and yet, LOOOOOOOOOLE

I haven't heard much about the Timberwolf, after it's disastrous Anderton's NAMM demo. Hopefully they got the tuning issues worked out.

I ended up ditching my Virus KC for cash and a Minilogue, over the summer. I'm not a keyboardist but the slim keys on the Minilogue still managed to annoy the shit out of me and the way the envelopes cycled made it not play nice with the rest of my gear, so I ditched that for a DSI Mono Evolver Keyb...

This might be worth your consideration, provided that it sticks in line with the pricing of the other Volca units ($150-200 range). No English captions yet on the vid, sorry. Here's the breakdown: 3 voice, 6 operator polyphonic FM synth 16 step Volca style sequencer with new features such as Warp, A...

Why I say the 4 op yamahas are good is because 4 operators is plenty enough to get the characteristic FM sound and it simplifies the programming quite a lot. FM programming is notoriously complicated. If you want an 'easy mode' of sorts, you can always get a software editor, like Herr Mueller's DX7...

Whoops, I meant JP-08.

I saw a chick with dual JU-O8s in her setup, play a gig last weekend. They sounded fantastic but she seemed to have a bit of a hard time tweaking them on the fly. At one point, she had to break out a mini flashlight, in order to work something out. I think that the small form factor and the bright L...

The reason I chose the Alpha 2 over the 1 is because it supports both velocity and aftertouch, making it better suited as a master controller, in my opinion. Other than that, the Alpha 1 has 49 to the 2's 61 keys and I think that it's MIDI implementation is more robust. Their engines are supposedly ...

Keep an eye out for old Roland transitional control surface DCO analogs, like the Alpha Junos and the JX line. You can generally snatch these up for cheap (I payed $230 for my Alpha 2) because they were pretty popular in their time, meaning that there's tons of them out there but they fell out of fa...

The headstock shape seems to bother me less, when the guitar is being played Vs. displayed.

Seriously, between the name, Dave Navarro's involvement and the fulglie (ugh, that nameplate, jesus...), I was expecting this to suck a giant dick but na, dudes... This thing rules.

I think it looks cool but I would definitely prefer a normal JM trem unit.


AND NO SQUIER-ASS TRUSS ROD ACCESS AT THE HEADSTOCK, DAMNIT!

I'm all for original designs but this just seems like an iceman with a bunch of random for the sake of random design revisions.

Are you looking for a set of cans for playback applications only or something that's transparent enough to be used as monitors, too?
