Clinic featuring Dave Smith and his new monophonic analog synth, the Mopho

The Mopho, a screaming Yellow tabletop analog monster by Dave Smith Instruments, is the latest creation from synthesizer legend Dave Smith and a Robotspeak favorite. In this recording of an October '08 in-store clinic he demonstrates some Mopho patches, talks about the electronics, and answers audience questions.

Tenori-On and Roland TB-303

It weren't easy to pair these two beautiful, blinky gadgets together, but it was worth it. Hopefully we'll see a Tenori-On firmware update in the future that will make MIDI syncing easier.

The KORG DS-10 for the Nintendo DS


Korg's DS-10 software, which made its debut at Musikmesse in March, will run on the lilliputian Nintendo DS. Its going to look like an MS-10 and will feature two "patchable" dual-oscillator analog synth emulators, a four part drum machine, and a six-track sequencer. All of the software's parameters can be controlled in real time using the stylus. Alas, at this point it looks like it will only be sold in Japan, but should you track one down at about 4,800 YEN it will put you back about $50 American.

I would put a gun in my mouth if I wasn't so busy vomiting. Enjoy.

Tenori-On

Chachi and Yu Nishibori spend some quality time demonstrating the Tenori-On at Robotspeak in December 2007.
