it's from Paris...




and I was very surprised by this very unusual packaging

[stiiiiiiive]

Nothing to see with Paris, but an eBow?

[red]

no bow


they're also in business with monosynths...

[stiiiiiiive]

Is this a Paris based company?

Thinking of Yusynth or Arturia, but they are in province, closer than you BTW.

[ Mutable Instruments - MIDIpal ]

[stiiiiiiive]

Oooh cool, I did not know Mutable Instruments was french, mind you! Is the package only available? My girlfriend wants one

Just got this little babe on wednesday and it sounds really really good. Can't wait to mike it to my favorite fooger.

I had not seen this one (from the office...). I have a ukuele here, and made myself a piezo contact microphone. Trying it in a Fooger chain is in my TODO list. Please post some sound!

and made myself a piezo contact microphone

Tell me about it and by that, I mean : tell me about it.

This is my first try at miking an acoustic instrument and so far, in a few hours today, i am far from the results I expected. I am using a Shure SM 57. I tried a while ago to find some clip-on into the sound hole (condenser I think) microphone, but it seems this kind of stuff is getting hard to find. Any ideas ?

[stiiiiiiive]

Some good little microhpones there. However I don't know how the quality and price are with respect to other US shops. But I've heard really good examples. Check out the microphones related pages. Oh: clip-on mic should do the job.

Contact mikes are cool to. Sensitive to every tiny hit on the wood though. The sound is usually a bit hard and may need some EQ. But it is --very-- simple to build and cheap too : they sell those few dozens dollars but is costs less than 10. And if I made one, everyone here can.

Don't people just DIY their own pickups from piezo's they get from radio shack....I mean "The Shack"?

Nice uke.

I was going to post a photo of my new Moog Semi-modular rack...

Unfortunately, I received this message:

"Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."

Open yourself a Photobucket account ... it's free... and show your stuff

Nice uke.

Thanks... it sounds amazing... One thing I learned buying guitars is to go with the good stuff right away. It's the price of a fooger, and that is Martin's entry level uke ;

I can hear Bubbly Ram On (in my head) through an MF-101, but I have to get good at the miking stuff first.

Oh: clip-on mic should do the job.

Yes, yes, good idea, I should look into that...

I want to see that mike of yours!

Yes, I meant I did that: I built a contact mike. Did not tried any clip-on though.

Trying this again using Photobucket.

My "Semi-modular Moog Rack" is operational!

In addition to the Moog gear I've acquired over the last year, I pulled a couple of old Edirol devices out of retirement to get this up and running- the UM-550 Patch Bay handles the MIDI routing duties, and my trusty old PCR-M30 stands in until the Sub Phatty arrives.

I really like the (relatively) compact neatness the rack mounts offer for the Moog gear, but it IS a bit of a PITA to set up!
Turns out that with the Minitaur and the MoogerFoogers (as has been addressed in other threads), you really need to leave 1-2U of open space above the rack mounts, OR angle the mounts instead of mounting "flat", to have access to the various jacks on the back panel.

Took a bit of experimenting, but the angled rack mounting seems to have worked out okay...
