http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009... "You know the grid craze is in full steam once ThinkGeek offers a $50 clone. The Bliptronic 5000 is somewhere between the Tenori-On and monome. It certainly looks like the monome, with an 8-by-8 grid of light-up pads in a square form factor. But like the Tenori-On, it has built-in sounds and...

I mainly use Ableton Live to write everything these days but since I've got life-time free producer edition upgrade having been a customer when FL Studio was still called FruityLoops back in the day + that you can use FL as a VST plugin inside any DAW, I still toy with them once in a while. They have some of the lightest plugins (in terms of system resources usage) in the market, and the UI is charming at times. e.g. I liked the Sytrus UI for tweaking FM synth - some interesting settings available :) #audio#tools

so I just went to download the latest version and noticed that even though I don't use this DAW really... I managed to buy all these plugins from them over the years: FL Studio Producer Edition + Sytrus (FL/VSTi) + Soundfont Player (FL Only) + VideoPlayer (FL Only) + SimSynth Standalone (v2.7) + FruityTracks + BeatSlicer + BeatCreator + Sytrus VSTi/DXi + SimSynth VSTi/DXi + SimSynth Live (FL/VSTi) + DrumSynth Live (FL/VSTi) + DX-10 (FL/VSTi) - gotta give a big up to their a la carte #marketing#strategy!!!

http://www.ableton.com/nl467-m... "Basically, Max for Live is a tool kit for making new devices. Think of a diverse and comprehensive set of building blocks that you can use to build pretty much anything you can think of. These building blocks include basic objects such as "+", audio elements such as filters and oscillators, user interface objects, and a set of objects that regulate access to Live and hardware devices. Max for Live also provides a canvas where you can place and connect these objects with virtual wires. Flowing through these wires are audio, MIDI or video signals, or any other kind of data. Max is essentially a visual programming environment where you build courses or tracks for these signals to run through. You can build new devices from scratch, modify existing ones or simply use devices that others have made. Max for Live includes several ingenious example devices and plenty of tutorials to take you from using to tweaking, and then to building."

Found this on my hard drive - I had my audio sampler turned on one day and forgotten that it was on so it recorded random bits of conversation from the office - I then overlaid electronica over it. It's fun. The file is licensed under CC-BY-SA - you can download it from Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/seeming...#music#smlmusic
