Vote for Moogy!!!

Update: Moogy jumped up to 626 votes! But... the dang chinchilla is up to 1218 as of this update. If you haven't voted, vote! It's easy, seriously. No logon, nothing. You just click her radio button and click submit below. That's it. Two seconds depending on how fast you click and scroll.

Remember Corkyburger's Moogy?

Title link takes you to the "Fuzzy Wuzzy Modo Contest: The Fuzzy Finalists on Gizmodo."

Go put in a vote for our little Moogy mascot! It'll only take two seconds and it would be pretty cool to see Moogy as the winner on Gizmodo. Synths are underated on Gizmodo so let's get one up there.

Do it, it'll make you feel good. : )

Update: I just voted and Moogy is in 2nd place currently at 261 votes to a bunny. The bunny is at 697 votes. Go out there and vote. We can't let a Synth cat lose to a Nintendo bunny with a stylus in its mouth!

Update via corky burger: "just listen to this groovy music that Moogy makes!" [link]

Come on people, vote for her! Moogy needs you!

Update: For anyone that actually cares, correction: it's a Chinchilla, not a bunny. There is a Chinchilla bunny, but this is actually a Chinchilla Chinchilla. ; )

Anyone know roughly how many of these were made? I rarely see them for sale. I was hoping you'd eventually find these for a couple hundred or less. I always wanted to get one for my daughter. Yeah that's it, for my daughter. : ) Something about the built in speakers and the tilted panel always made me want one, but never at the original prices.

Kymaworks - Richard Lainhart

"These recordings are taken from a live radio performance on April 7 2006 at WDFH in Ossining, NY, hosted by Treavor Hastings. On the different versions of "Cranes Fly West," I play electric lap steel guitar processed by Kyma. On "One Word" I play the Kyma with MIDI faders. "The Tiger's Dream" is for Haken Audio Continuum and Kyma."

Update via the comments: "Just a note that this is actually our 'template'. We've currently got a maple and a black walnut that are being made and once those are finished the pictures will look much better."

M-Audio MIDI Controller?

"Dit zou een "midi" controller zijn voor het programma Torq van M-audio maar je zal er ook programma's als ableton mee kunnen aansturen."

Can anyone translate this or know what this is? I see MIDI controller, Torq, M-audio, and Ableton. I did a quick search on Torg and M-Audio and I get this. I didn't seen anything on the m-audio product page that looks exactly like this, but I've been known to miss the obvious in the past.

Whatever it is, I like the lights. Via synthforum.nl.

Update: It's M-Audio. It was also up on Music Thing. I'm still catching up for the day folks... Also via Synthbaron in the comments: "Engrish to American English translation:

"This is a MIDI controller for the Torq program from M-audio. It can also be used with Ableton Live"

"Nothing has been announced besides this picture. It looks like it will be indroduced in January at NAMM""
