300 episodes - makes roughly 12 and a half days of listening should you choose to tackle it. First show in June 2006 and here we are. Joining me in the studio to mark this milestone are Dave and Chris plus a couple of bottles of bubbly - thanks guys! On the line are Rich and Mark. First talk about a few more NAMM items, the Raven MIT (10:34) then a the Tactus terraforming LCD screen blows our minds (24:04), the 30 years of MIDI panel sparks some reminiscing, we talk about the new release from Depeche Mode (Delta Machine) (58:20), and finally the excellent Cinco MIDI organizer (01:11:55).

SONIC TALK 299 - Post NAMM Post-Mortem Jan 31, 2013

Fresh back from rainy California - or perhaps not so fresh! We talk of the NAMM show releases - the Korg MS20 Mini, Moog Sub Phatty, Buchla Easel, iConnect MIDI+ and audio passthrough andmuch more.

Sonic TALK 298 - NAMM Rumours Jan 17, 2013

Show notes

Not much on the agenda this week apart from a bit of good old NAMM speculation and chit chat. We talk about the Moog Sub Phatty (07:57), Ableton Push will be on display for the time (18:00)Mark brings out his Yamaha EZ-EG MIDI guitar (27:59) and Gaz promises to eat his Monotron (maybe) when we talk of something new from Korg (32:03). Avid are also apparently cooking something up too (39:00),which leads to a discussion of working remotely and also off the grid - with a great working method from Gaz to jam freestyle using Cubase (49:47) . Dave has a hunch that Spectrasonics are up to something too
