First topic, is anyone going to the NAMM show this year? We'll be there but there's also a cool event happening this Friday evening with a nice lineup of performers, including: John Tejada, Richard Devine, Deru, Laura Escude, Scott Pagano, CPU, DJ Kero, Acid Circus, Derek Michael, Baseck, Eezir, Trifonic, DJ G Ov, Moldover, Henry Strange, Peter Kirn and very likely more that are not mentioned. You can find Workspace and Environment interviews/photos with three of the artists mentioned by checking out the sidebar on the right. This way --->
Besides that, I just found this awesome interview with Chromeo where they are talking a bit about gear:
- Do you ever buy a keyboard or a synthesizer just because you know it was used by someone you look up to?
- Chromeo: Oh yeah. Like I know, pretty much, you can give me any song and I’ll tell you what keyboard was used.
- [Hall and Oates’ 1981 hit single] “Private Eyes”?
- Chromeo: Private Eyes!? That’s a CR78 drum machine, a CT70 Piano. I actually, when I bought by CT70, I recreated [that] song. Cause I had all those machines. [Laughs]. And most of Hall and Oates is CR78, LM1 drum machine, or CT70 piano. And I also know that ‘cause we’ve done shit with them. [Laughs]

And finally, I just came across a video demonstrating the 'Rock Band Network' which will essentially let users upload their own music content but also embed the rock band performance data within, so a user can 'sequence' their own patterns to their own songs. I think this will become pretty insane when it launches:
