Beatsurfing App – Just draw your own controller!

·0 comments·

BEATSURFING is an iPad Organic MIDI Controller Builder. It allows you to draw a 3-dimensional controller and use it in two different and complementary ways.  You can tap it like you would with your regular MPC or any other beatmaking device, but the best and most innovative use you can make of it is definitely by surfing your fingers along routes, colliding with objects, triggering samples or effects.  It’s all about movement, and bringing back this intuitive way to make music.

Moog MF-104M Analog Delay Introduced

·0 comments·

Originally designed by Bob Moog and released in 2000, the Classic MF-104 Analog Delay was manufactured as a limited edition release of 1000 units. A special “Bucket Brigade” delay chip was employed allowing the effect to remain completely analog. Unfortunately, the supply of these chips was limited and the final MF-104 sold in 2001. Since then there have been two reissues of the Classic MF-104, the MF-104Z and the MF-104SD. In that time, each has been added to a short list of the most sought after analog delays in history.
