Noise Devices amazing and affordable.

Here is a group of guitar pedals that really caught my attention and they should be catching your attention too. 
the EF101 sounded really great and with the added cv input it makes it a great way to add some depth to your synthesizer. ( I know I want one) the theremin pedal sounded very usable and musical. and hell anyone that puts my name on their pedal gets a bit of a nod. 😉 really though the functionality and sound of these pedals warrant much higher prices. At the price point they are offering you would be silly to not check them out. www.electrofaustus.com

AKAI MPC FLY pad sensitivity and build quality thoughts

So Many of us have been waiting to see how the mpc fly would feel… here are my thoughts.
the Pads certainly don’t feel as responsive as I would like. they feel about the same sensitivity of my quneo controller and a touch less sensitive than maschine mk1 (not amazing but not unusable) dynamically speaking you have to hit a bit harder. the case imho is just way to bulky for me to really want it. he whole point of an ipad is to be slim. This thing is about the size of a somewhat thick laptop. the connector is lightning port only. So if your an ipad 1-3 user your out of luck.

Livid BASE controller

Livid known for beautiful and well built controllers is now releasing this mighty beast of a pad controller. build quality felt very nice. $399 to stand out with this one.

The pad sensitivity wasn’t blowing me away but remember there are still some tweaks to be done to finalize this unit. the touch faders felt brilliant and the solid construction make it really something that feels like it will last.

SUB PHATTY tweaking

Spent some time tweaking away I really jsut wanted to show how grimey you could make this new MOOG sound. really an impressive synth. and at $999 I am very very interested in picking one up. just a fabulous moog sound with added distortion to grime things up a bit.

DAVE SMITH INSTRUMENTS PROPHET 12 TWEAKING and Audio Demo

Here it is the New Dave Smith Poly synth…. the Prophet 12

the OLED screen is very very nice. the sound is classic dave smith. the built in effects really shape this thing into it’s own world. the oscillators are all digital which I found pretty interesting. the Knobs felt VERY well built. overall the unit had a very solid build and the paint looks good. just a beautiful synth. no cv 🙁
