I've seen them in stores before and fiddled with them, and it's definitely a lust-worthy gadget. ;) However, the keys and knobs felt kind of low-quality... I'm not sure how a device like this would hold up over time and travel. Also, it has 2 midi out ports, so if you're worried about latency over t...

Seems to me that it'd also be pretty easy to just manually generate this noise from within a wave editor...

500$ for a 4 band eq plugin? I guess I could dl the 10 day demo, but this is way too far out of my price range to even bother. =/

Buggy drivers, crackly audio output at high loads, etc. IMO, there's much better USB devices for the money out there... Glad to see that it's working for you, though....

You could use "sound studio"in the mac OS. Seems pretty easy....I use Peak myself, but I have used this at times and seems pretty easy interface and runs smooth. This is it...... http://www.felttip.com/products/soundstudio/ M I second this notion. Great editor; none of the fluff or bloat ...

Here's a few tips from my own experience and some tips passed on to me from adam jay on the ableton boards. This assumes that you already know how to warp tracks and have a "digital crate" set up and ready to match against vinyl. A very easy way to do rough beatmatching is to use the midi ...

Any of these toys compiling under OS X? It definitely could be done, but I have the feeling that it'd be a painful process... It'd probably just be easier to run them under apple's X11 environment rather than porting everything over to carbon. However, most of the linux sound libs (such as jack) ha...

I'm new to this board but I already love it! Thx for the set; haven't heard any of magda's stuff for awhile.
