Happy (freakin’) Friday.  Long week for you also?

News, iPad this weekend.  Gear Junkies take the cake, here is the YouTube embed:

Need to look at the details more – can I MIDI it?

A WHOLE COLLECTION of new controllers. Again, Gear Junkies kicks ass! Synthopia saw the same good stuff, I am using their image.

I am a H-U-G-E RME Fan. They have a new interface called “Baby Face” (PDF info), a micro extension, if you will, on the successful Fire Face technology. (If you don’t know about Fire Face, check it out).

Reactables – coming closer to you both physically and financially.

Gear Junkies FTW with a Messe review. Very good break down (these guys do such as great job. Special thanks to Mark D and crew for all the effort.  Ableton Denver loves you!)

Korg Monotron – a new classic or a key-chain toy gone wild? You decide!

I am an admitted non-fan of VST / plugin technology. Yeah I use them, but it is not my thing. Regardless, this next item is cool- it is like a VST instrument trapped on the iPad.

When I look at this image of Mini Synth (for iPad):

I think of this Superman (2) image:

As if a perfectly good VST was banished for galactic crime.

Oh, and just when you thought the iPad is going to be cool, CDM gets real and shows us how nasty Apple can be (looking like they are all legal team?)

We will be art walkin’ on Sante Fe tonight after we hit Dorkbot. See you there?

More soon, warp your world!
