 Everybody need a filter : This one comes in a useful desktop housing and a sexy chrome fader in between both cutoff knobs. With that you can fade between filtered and unfiltered signal to generate handmade rhythmical effects or simply got a mix between direct - and effect signal. Also new is the possibility to move adjusted band-stop or band-pass ranges through the whole frequency spectrum. Permalink : : Visit module main site : : 1 comments

 Saw on the 313 TM BLOG : "Saw on the 313 list and confirmed by majors news websites from around the world. The 10 th Planet (2003UB313) is officially included in our solar system. Since month/years NASA observatory searching about... Few musicians too... Here is a recording of Derrick May with a friend '?' discussing about the 10 th Planet... Interesting and so artistic point of view. Extract from Universal Techno, famous report about electronic music realised by Arte TV. Dimitri Pike" I think Mayday's friend should be Abdul Qadim Haqq, a painter who is responsible for most of the drawings and sleeve designs for labels such as Underground Resistance & Red Planet.

Saw here : "I have a mod for the Poly 800, by removing the filter cutoff trimpot (VR2) (from the big green board not the little brown board!!!!!!!) and putting a 100K audio taper pot in it's place you have a nice front panel Filter cutoff knob!!!! Drill a hole in a nice place in the front panel to put the pot. I used a big red knob on mine..... You can do the same mod with the resonance (VR5) pot also. "
Very simple Mod on a cheap synth (you can found it on E-bay for 60€), same mod should work for the EX-800 rack version and for the Siel DK-80 or Suzuki SX-500 copies. Permalink : : Visit module main site : : 0 comments
Brian Eno is the father of ambient music
 Some month ago i have posted a story about The KLF and i wrote that they were the creator of ambient music. As someone told me in his comment it's largely false. In fact Brian Eno is considered the father of ambient music as this term was first used by him in the 1970s to refer to "music that would envelop the listener without drawing attention to itself" (Ambient 1: Music for Airports). Also some of the works of Erik Satie can be regarded as predecessors of modern ambient music(He referred to his music as something that could be played during dinner and would simply create an atmosphere for that activity rather than be the focus of attention). So I would rather say that The KLF was the creator of Ambient-house or Modern Electronic Ambient music, They've also introduced for the first time the term "Chill-out" in their eponym album. I hope Brian Eno will excuse me for that outrageous mistake. Permalink : : Visit module main site : : 2 comments

After three years of working to obtain a patent on the iPod software interface, Apple's application was rejected by the US Patent and Trademark Office.
John Platt submitted a similar software design patent application in May of 2002, five months prior to Apple's. [Via engadget ] Permalink : : Visit module main site : : 0 comments
 You get two players, with a touch-sensitive screen between them that shows the current track playlist with track progress bar and BPM counter. Tracks can be sorted by artist, title or BPM (ascending and descending order). The on-screen keyboard allows quick song retrieval by automatically narrowing the search field as you type. Built-in Grab technology allows one-button-push looping, with adjustments for moving the loop backward and forward one beat at a time. The user can also lengthen or shorten loops on the fly, allowing for true real-time remixing. This grabbing function always exits the loop at the end of the measure unless the user tells it otherwise. The DAI controller works in tandem with its companion PVDJ software package, which is built around a 56-bit audio engine. The software requires no additional drivers-it runs using existing Windows or Mac OSX drivers. The DAI is a true 'plug & play' interface; if either the USB or power cord is unplugged, the DAI will pick up exactly where it left off once the cord. Supports .MP3, .CDA and .WAV audio formats.
