This is a lovely gadget. I've got the earlier version and I love playing with it. They are pricey, but great fun if you like noise makers.

You have to admit that this is lovely, and it looks as though it's been beautifully made too, but at £140 it is a bit steep!

As a big fan of the Shruthi I thought I'd post a link to this one on eBay. They're not cheap, but they are fantastic.

Hackme Rockit Synthesizer in steampunk / dieselpunk styled case on eBay
An interesting synth on eBay right now with 4 days to go.
This is a handmade Rockit synthesizer designed by Hackme Electronics and built from their circuit board. It is a monophonic digital-analogue hybrid using two 8 bit VCO's through a digitally controlled analogue filter and VCA (with 2 LFO's thrown in for good measure). All parameters are directly controllable on panel (and via midi cc). It is powered by 6 x AA batteries (rechargeables are fine). It weighs 1.8kg.
Lots more detail on the eBay listing. Click below

AmpliTube updated
Interesting direction for Amplitube. Here's what's new in their app:
- Loop drummer module plays in sync with the recorder
- Preroll function added to recorder
Apple adding 128 gb iPad to range
You've probably seen this already, but I thought I'd post it more to ask what you think about it? Lots of sites and commentators are saying that it's because of the Surface Pro and it's just a reaction to that. I don't think it'll mean too much for mobile music except of course that you're now able to carry even more in your iPad, but other than that not a great deal.
So is it a reaction to Microsoft? That's not a very 'Apple' response.

Echo Pad update
A small but much requested update from Echo Pad:
- Main Looper now has feedback control, thanks to user requests!
- Added a low latency switch for better performance on older devices.
Audiobus updates to version 1.0.2
The bus is getting better ... Here's what's new:
- New preferences pane allowing users to choose between a 512 and 256 frame hardware buffer size:
- ⚠ Please choose 512 if you're experiencing stuttering audio. Choose 256 if you want the fastest response time for live play. Only iPad 3, 4 and iPhone 5 default to 256 now, all other devices to 512. ⚠
- Apps are now sorted alphabetically in the input/output/effects pop-over windows.
- New status bar in the Audiobus main screen, showing current hardware buffer size and battery status. We don't want you to run out of juice in the middle of a jam!
- Some minor bugfixes.
A bit of slynthy ...
Just messing around with this little app as I can get it to run on my 3G and that's not the case very often these days, with new(er) apps that is.
