312 Key Synth

In case you missed it from Digg, here is a 312 key synthesizer! Its worse than a typewriter and comes with yamaha style speakers built in. I’m speechless.

The Chromatone CT-312 keyboard

Read some more at technobab…some weird tech site anyway!

VIDEO: See the super mario brothers demo of it on YouTube

Holy crap!

The neat thing about the keyboard is that chord shapes are the same in every key.

Another article From Engadget all the way back in 2005 which looks like it was via MusicThing Old but awesome. I’d love to get one if they are available for purchase…can’t find any links.

Computer fronts rock band with “Where is my Mind by the pixies”

*video deleted for boringness and being posers*

they are ruining the fun.
This was alot cooler back in the OS9 days with Vocal Writer !

BUT they have a new product called MAGIC VOCALS coming out in 2007?
The guy who wrote vocal writer is the original singing mac voice, and Vocal Writer is still awesome in my opinion. It makes me want to refit my B&W G3 with an intel processor, and load up Vocal Writer for no reason. But I guess we will have to leave it to these “rock” bands who are way late to use the game of the singing mac voice. I will let those posers do it. Before vocal writer you had to sequencer every syllable from simple text Which I know some chumps still did even though vocal writer was out…
Long live VocalWriter.

Metal News:

After Forever Tour Dates.

Floor Jansen is the complete opposite of the singing mac voice.

Coming to USA in October!!

Buying an Electric guitar: How To

Yes, they have a certain cool factor. Its undeniable!

If the theremin can be an electronic instrument, then maybe an electric guitar is too. Well, at least quasi-electronic. The pickup converts the waves of the strings, into an electronic signal. They also sound very cool and might be worth putting into your production setup. Guitars actually sound great when played side by side with synthesizers.
With a guitar you will never have to worry about Polyphony, Midi (unless you bought those new USB ones), and using digital interfaces.

Let’s find out more about them before we choose.

Pickups:
There are two main types of pickup: single coil and double coil (known as humbuckers), each of which can be passive or active. Single Coil have a brighter sound, whereas, double coil is known for its noise cancelling abilities.

Body Style:
Electric guitars can come in solid body or hollow body designs. Solid body has NO inner holes which would allow the strings to resonate further (like acoustic). Hollow bodies do have these inner holes.

Tremolo Arms:
Also called the Whammy bar. This device moves the bridge to alter the pitch during play.

Most electric guitars are completely passive. They require external amplification and effects! But you can jack them into an audio interface that supports phantom power and use plugin effects and guitar amp emulators! This is a great way to not clog up your studio and get any kind of guitar sound that you want for cheap. The effects you use on your guitar also can determine style of music you want to produce. Examples would be distortion, overdrive, chorus, etc.

Electric guitars come in many body styles for you to choose from. They also having varying degrees of quality. You must be considerate of price too, as you are just buying a piece of wood with strings attached to an electric pickup. A very expensive guitar might be close to that of a cheaper more affordable one. Other than actually going somewhere and just picking up and playing a guitar, you’ll want to check out some guitar reviews:

Stick to what feels good, something in your price range, and what sounds good.

Guitar Reviews:

I hope that helps you get started!! I think I will be buying my guitar soon.

Extra: Use your Guitar to trigger synth tones to differentiate your sound with this module Roland GR20

Below are some models of guitars I would check out!

Price Ranges

Under $200
Behringer V-Tone II & Amp $109 Cheap, and nicely rated.
Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar Classic looking.

Over $200
Fender Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar Nice!! I would get this or something similar.

There are alot of guitars out there and it will come down to personal choice! Find something you like!
