"The new R2 unit, designated by the gun metal grey chassis, has an updated PC board design using a new RAM chip which extends the internal back up battery life from approximately 1.5 years on previous white faced units to now more than 10 years life span. In addition the R2 units include OS version 2.0 making it more compatible for use with our XS semi-modular synthesizer."Future Retro Site

My Bloody Valentine: Tour, New Album YES!!!!
2007-11-15 17:29:00
Well we all know there has been a lot of specualtion and rumors about MBV for a long time. It seems like the last three or four years they are always rumored to play coachella or some other festival. Last year I read that it was actaully pretty close to happenning. Now it seems that it is a sure thing they will be playing shows again and releasing a new album!!!!!Three confirmed dates. I wonder how fast that will sell out. Hopefully we will get an NYC appearance sometime after that.Here are the details on the new record"We were making a record in the '90s around the time the band broke up in 1995...and I continued with Belinda [Butcher, the band's guitarist/vocalist]. It's going to be this '96/'97 record half-finished, and then a compilation of stuff we did before than in 1993-94, and a little bit of new stuff.""I pretty much know what the one that's going to come out this year is going to sound like because it's already three-quarters done," he told Soft Focus. "It sounds li...

Rare Electro Harmonix: DRM 16
2007-11-13 14:42:00
Found this guy on ebay. This is a hard one to get your hands on since its 30 years old and was only manufactured for a short period of time. Not sure how good it is but it is on ebay right now for around 60 bucks with about a day left. Here is the description from the auction that was copied from somewhere...." Info on the pedal: Enter the short- lived DRM-16 "the first automatic drum kit with feeling". The DRM-16 (DRM = Digital Rhythm Matrix), EH-7450, made it's appearance about 1978-9. It was housed in the standard Memory Man style box and was AC powered. The controls consisted of VOLUME, TEMPO, DELETE, STYLE, and COLUMN. VOLUME and TEMPO are pretty much self-explanatory. DELETE allowed you to remove various sounds such as wood block and long and short cymbals. STYLE and COLUMN allowed you to select from 16 available rhythm patterns by setting them according to a chart printed on the face of the pedal. On the chart you had 4 funk patterns, 4 disco, 4 rock (hard, boogie, soft, and...

Korg Kaossillator!!!!!!!!!!!
2007-11-06 22:01:00
I just ran across this baby and am currently very excited to try it out. I am kind of sad that it doesn't have the ability to save sounds or phrases you sample. I would think that Korg could start fitting these units and the Kaoss pad with a flash based drive. For the price though it is probably worth checking out. Thanks to Sonic State for posting this. Check out more info from their site Sonic State Currently it is not on Korg.com but I am sure it will pop up soon. It is at the UK store for 199 Euros but won't be available until just before X-mas
