  1. It looks like a render. Is it real?
  2. Very unique. Is that polystyrole material kind of like lexan? Where do you get it? I'd love to see some video of how you use it with Reason.
  3. Man I love the sound from audio samples 1,3,4, 5. It's low-fi and embracing at the same time. I'd love to see a video of it in action.
  4. Dude, that thing is sweet! Will it work on a keyboard without velocity?
  5. If you designed your controller with Live in mind, how did you focus down what you wanted to control? With practically everything in Live being controllable, how do you not leave something out that you may one day decide to control?
  6. Might have to reach out to an action sports film crew, haha. Or you could try suspending it from the ceiling. :) As nice as the controller is, think about putting video up on a site that doesn't kill the video quality, like this: http://stage6.divx.com/user/Denkitribe/video/1072802/KORG-KAOSS-PAD-KP3-(7)
  7. What's CS? Wilba, have you thought about putting up a few audio/video clips for us to hear/see it in action. ;D
  8. Lovely! This is definitely top tier material! Top 100 anyways :P Price tag is kinda ouch inducing...$662! What were the most costly items? In any case, congrats! Very impressive device you got there!
  9. Is it me or are there NO screen shots or app listings on the jacklab.org site?

    Yeah, it looks like they were gonna release it at some point but something stopped them. Don't know much about it as the visit to Reaper's was around my 2nd visit.

    Jesusonic

    Paid a visit to the Reaper site and noticed a plugin called Jesusonic included in the software, I then noticed it was based on some Linux running hardware. Creates some pretty interesting effects! Check out the video and audio on this page: http://www.jesusonic.com/hard.php
  12. Funny! I would've put knobs where the dolls buttons are. haha
  13. Woah. Could all that wiring be dangerous? Cause heat issues? Reminds me of the electrical mess in the movie A Christmas Story. :)
  14. Has anyone seen any really good tutorials teaching keyboard/piano techniques online preferably with videos? I know there are many great drummer and guitar tutorials out, online and on video, however, it seems there is less for the hopeful keyboardist. I've seen a few sites that have chord stuff. But I think I'm mainly looking for exercises to build up dexterity first and then delve into theory and stuff like that.
  15. I stumbled upon this while looking for something else and I thought this might be of interest to some out there: http://www.stardraw.com/products/stardrawcontrol/default.asp In the "movies" section there's some stuff about midi.
  16. I must say they taught you well and you must be blessed with much patience! :) Did you build tests for everything you are making?
  17. Let me be next to drop my jaw. :) This can't be your first electronics project can it? This here reminds me of some sci-fi cyborg regeneration type stuff! ;D Simply awesome.
  18. I found an explanation for that video. I don't know that this is exact or from the creator: _______________________________________________________________________________ [tt]I made a "home made Drum" out of a guitar pickup and a string installed within a piece of sponge. I use Reaktor to translate the signal with its amplitube to snare drums. Each punch, with sound a snare drum (not the same snare all the time, it changes after every puch) and it has a the amplitude of the punch. It is very sensitive and there are some great stuff i can do with the reaktor , like setting the dynamic range.[/tt] ________________________________________________________________________________
  19. I tried Suse 10 last year...as much as I wanted to embrace Linux, configuring it was theeee single most frustrating computer experience I've had. Just getting my monitor to work was a hell of a chore. Once I got it working I felt that being so used to windows and its idiosyncrasies I had taken a step back. It was a weird experience. :) Good luck though.
  20. http://www.jokeroo.com/extremevideos/homemade_snare_drum.html Seeing as this forum is international, hopefully someone can translate what the guy is saying. I've no clue what language he's speaking.
  21. Thanks Dragon, I wish I would've had those recommendations when I built my first pc. :) When are those Intel cuts due to take place? Would someone mind telling explain a the pros or cons of setting up hard drives in Raid configuration as it relates to audio?
  22. I tend to believe the worse thing you can do when concentrating on audio is bloat your system with other non-audio related junk, which is what I did with my system. But yeah, you guys have brought up a lot a interesting points. I should clarify, when I say cheap I don't mean off brand type stuff. I certainly wouldn't get an old used harddrive. But rather I look at it like this, I'm sure there are many components (consider them overlooked) that you can now get pretty cheaply on ebay and newegg that'll give you a hell of a bang for your buck since everyone is getting the latest and greatest dual cores. And since single core chips have gone wayyyy down in price that single core system that was once considered awesome is incredibly affordable. I had a five year spread between pc purchases and when I started looking again I pretty much narrowed in on the 939 socket and I blinded myself to everything else. So, I'm wondering what Intel and AMD socket types to look out for? Actually, I have a question about something DavidBanner brought concerning building a dual boot machine...something I'd never even considered. I don't know the first thing about this sort of thing but it does sound kinda sweet - 1 profile for audio, 1 for anything else you need! My current system is a dual core AMD 3800+ so is it possible for me to get a 2nd drive and do all my audio work there? What does configuring a setup like this call for? Artesia, I saw that system a while back. Very cool stuff. There's also a system that allows you to network vst's that I've since lost the link to...I'll try to search for it.
  23. I'm thinking of building a second computer to use for solely for audio work. This was the plan with my current pc but my internet connection made it otherwise. :) I started downloading demos of this and that, and well you know how that goes. Soooo, I've been thinking of utilizing my old pc's case (compaq), I actually really like the case, and change out everything and build it up with a very stripped down version of XP. I'm thinking of some sort of P4 processor, I think those run under 90 bucks now, (I'm open to AMD cpu's as well) and a micro atx mobo to start, max out the ram, etc. And probably get a lot of this off Ebay. Any of you done anything like this? Suggestions? As it stands now, the internet distracts me from concentrating on audio work. :P
