The Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeee

There's been some buzz on The Samchillian midi controller. I just took a look at these two videos (one, two) and it does look interesting. The first video is the current design floating around while the second video is the original design using what looks like a custom ergonomic qwerty keyboard; just like the one you use with a PC. The Samchillian website (title link) actually has a sofware version of The Samchillian so you can try it out yourself. You will also find instructions on how it works. The second video does a good job of showing you it's flexibility - you can chose various scales including some in depth microtonal scales that allow you to have 40 notes to the octave instead of the standard 12. Pretty interesting stuff.

Fred's Mini Sound Lab

Title link takes you to a post on Fred's Blog on his Mini Sound Lab. He took an old videopac and used it to house the Mini Sound Lab. I love the color on this design, especially the red knobs. More shots on the project after the hop. Thanks Fred!

SubtleNoiseMaker and the Zebranologic

Remember the Peruvian Zebranalogic? Well it looks like Sascha Renner picked one up. Title link takes you to a post on his brand new blog SubtleNoiseMaker. The Zebranologic isn't as shiny/polished as I was expecting, but that clear case is cool. Samples will be coming. I'll be subbing to his blog so hopefully I'll see the samples when they come in. I added SubleNoiseMaker to my blogroll on the right as well. Thanks Sascha!

Update: samples are in.
