Jammy’s new MIDI guitar can control all your virtual instruments
[ad_1] The Jammy Evo rethinks the original’s formula, and was designed as a MIDI controller first and foremost. In other words, it’s not a MIDI controller crammed into a guitar.

SoundCloud will host live music shows on Twitch
[ad_1] It’s probably safe to say most people haven’t been to a concert or a record store in the past month or so. And while streaming isn’t a completely fulfilling replacement for going to shows or spotting that rare LP, SoundCloud hopes to at least fill the void a bit with some live content on […]

You can build the tiny XFM2 synth for under $100
[ad_1] The XFM2 is an FM — or frequency modulation — synth. This digital architecture, which was popular in the ’80s, sounds dramatically different from the typical analog setup of two oscillators and two filters. It fell out of fashion quickly, so there aren’t that many hardware-based FM options on the market, making the XFM2 […]
