it's from Paris...




and I was very surprised by this very unusual packaging

Nothing to see with Paris, but an eBow?

no bow


they're also in business with monosynths...

Is this a Paris based company?

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

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

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!

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 ?

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:

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

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.

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...
