We’re all gear ho’s.
Sony PCM-D1
Man does this recorder look cool? I would have killed for one of these 10 years ago.
It’s a portable digital recorder, capable of 24/96Khz sampling rate recording. It records wave files into 4 gig internal memory or onto memory sticks. It has analog VU meters, runs on four AA batteries and is made out of Titanium.
The only drawback is the $2,000.00 price tag. But for a “pro” $2,000.00 is par for the course on a unit like this.
“Sennheiser Electronics Corporation introduced a new applications hotline service as the first point of contact for end-users, dealers, reps or internal staff seeking product support, application assistance or technical advice.
Sennheiser’s audio expert, Scott Houston, is the go-to person at the newly created applications hotline. He can be reached by calling (877) 736-6434 extension 182 or e-mailing him directly, at shouston@sennheiserusa.com. Should any of the inquiries need further clarification or sales support, Scott will forward the question to the appropriate product manager or sales associate.”
You mean I can talk to a human? Wow. What a concept in customer service! Perhaps other companies might adopt this policy?
Space Axe: Theremin like guitar with the same sound chip used in Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Pong, and Asteroids.
“It produces those awesome sounds of the UFO and the approaching aliens as well as other synth sounds . . . It also has a new type of fretboard that contains metal sensors arranged like the frets on a guitar.”
Sounds cool to me.

Good God. Now rappers have an “instrument” they can put in their hand like a gun so they can control scratching, lighting, midi sounds and more. This device can be “intuitively” used? So it’s intuitive for a rapper to be holding a gun shaped device? No wonder I’m sick of this business.
midiGun 1.0
“The ‘midiGun’ is a novel handheld midi controller. This gunshaped interface was especially designed to remotely control realtime music softwares like Ableton LIVE, Traktor DJ or others.
The ‘midiGun’ replaces the classical DJ mixer and the keyboard at the same time. The ‘midiGun’ is a new kind of device that can be intuitively used because of its handy shape and easy accessible knobs, buttons and sensors.”
