+1. Or get computer music (sometimes that mag's a bag of shite, other times theres good stuff in it - wait for a good month). I have a folder on my HD called CM classics that I got from them. It's got folders in it called things like 1000 drums. I use those all the time for bread and butter. And all...

I suspect all Kenton's resources are now behind Danny Mac's DM01. Set to be released in the spring of 07 for 300-400 quid. that looks cool and everything - i especially like this bit "a controller that ordinary DJs can go out and buy without having to sell their cars or porn their Rolexs"...

349 dollars? that's mentalism... it's a four osc subtractive synth, right? No- one of the oscillators is a modulation oscillator only. It's a three oscillator wavetable synth at heart, which also does DX style "FM" (phase modulation). It's got a lot of other tricks as well... Try the demo...

yeah... i've had my eye on this for ages. i wasn't even that bothered that its expensive - I don't mind paying more for qulaiity stuff (even though for what, 70 quid more you can get a Bitstream 3X?).

Ocelot, anyone?

(though that said, I'm waiting for the new version to come out in April or whenever. But that's cos I'm thrifty as hell. All sources suggest 10.4 is loads better)

it was a bit of a struggle trying to convince myself to buy it - it is a lot of money, and all it is is buttons. it just sends 3 numbers, x,y and on or off (1 or 0), and can receive data to tell it to light specific LEDs. that's it.
