CNTRL:R is a contemporary MIDI performance instrument for creative music production. Housed in a lightweight aluminum body, this controller is ideal for live performance and studio production.
This is a MOC of a Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. The drum computer hit the market in 1980 and can still be heard in lots of contemporary tracks.

An idea for a funny comic which could potentially be used as a t-shirt design. It involves an electronic drum machine which is afflicted with a condition that prevents it from emitting anything but hand clap sounds.
The doctor, whom the drum machine has chosen to visit, explains that it may have "the clap".
(Note: the idea continues to develop here.)
Yellow and Red team up and jam on a Vermona DRM1 MKIII drum machine. Yellow changes the resonance on the snare while Red messes with the highpass filter on the lazer zap.
This is my Akai MPC 2000XL sampler. I bought it to use in conjunction with Logic. You load samples in to the device via Zip drive (although you can fit a flash card reader to the sampler). It was good to work with, and I even upgraded the machine to the full 8 analog outputs, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be part of my music production workflow these days.
The machine has 32Mb of memory, which may sound small, but is plenty enough if you are only dealing with small drum hit samples.
I might still keep this thing as the 'swing' settings on here do seem to do the trick with hi hat patterns. But I guess once I import the 'swinged' patterns to MIDI, there's no point in keeping this thing around anymore.
Also experimenting more with Photoshop curves and added some vignetting to frame the drum machine a bit more. Not exactly useful when advertising this machine on eBay or the likes, but I think it adds a nice touch to the image.
Finally, some decent pictures. Thanks to Zac Buschmole, of Buschmole and Sons Photography in Capitol Hill.
This unit includes some personal items from the Board of Trustees member who pays for it. We are gradually forcing him out of his own storage unit. It includes all the museum's display cases, TVs used at PAX, conservation supplies, archived magazines, and artifacts, including the Amiga Systems, game boxes, etc. Parts of the collection are in other Board member's homes while they are being worked on for conservation or record keeping.
Ash Wiggins is a DJ and producer under the name of C Randall of Randall Records, living and writing in the rural sleepy village of Apsley just outside of London.
This offers him the chance to get into the finer details of writing and producing banging house music, often utilising organic sounds such as acoustic percussion, guitar, didgeridoo and chanting. These sounds are wrapped up in a mixture of cutting edge tech and vintage synths ready for him to play in clubs in the big city such as Ministry of Sound, Egg, Slaughtered Lamb and Vibe Bar.
This photo is a juxtaposition of the rural writing location against the gritty London club scene that serves as a platform for C Randall's music. Here's another from the same shoot and here's another in a different style.
I'm quite keen to try out more of this location lighting in a setting that leaves room for a narrative almost in a slight caricature kind of way, like the bright synthetic shot of Rosa Ullmann and her keyboard or Dan Baxter on Abbey Road for his album sleeve.
Any unsigned bands, solo artists or DJs, get in touch for a discounted rate!

You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, ohh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, ohh?
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, ohh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, ohh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, ohh?
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me, ohh?

German downtempo (and sometimes trance) producer's studio in Ibiza, Spain. Living the dream, huh? I've identified as much of the kit as I can in tags. I'm unsure what is the Yamaha in for foreground. The white unit above that is another Yamaha I am unsure of.
Arduino with game controller buttons triggering MIDI shield and running output through an amplifier to old Apple speakers. 3D Printed faceplate for buttons and speaker jacks. Neopixel changes colors when a button is pressed.
decided to try a different method than the usual soldering on bottom of the pcb. the wires are very secure.
