My band, The Highway Beautiful, saw a need to have potential customers listen to our CD before they purchased […]
Collin writes – Because I know there just aren’t enough Arduino projects, I thought I’d tell you about my stab at an Arduino Synthesizer. It’s currently monophonic with pitch control and a simple hardware low pass filter. I’m working on adding MIDI-in and hopefully vibrato in the future. Thanks for the inspiration, Make!

If the Maker movement had a soundtrack I think there might be couple songs from Lullatone & Loud Objects / Tristan Perich/1-Bit Music. I went to Glasslands Gallery in NY, it’s a warehouse-like space in Williamsburg that had a few bleepity-bloop electronic sampled music acts in one evening. Loud Objects being a live soldering show […]
