REVIEW: Akai APC40 Ableton Live Controller

Button bashin’ and clip launchin’ is the new DJin’ – or at least if you follow these pages that’s the way it seems. To some, it’s all rather alien and not what DJing is about, but for others its the next logical creative progression

OSC, Kyma, iPad, and Beyond: Your Networked Musical Future

lionkakronkel — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:18:25 +0000

Connecting stuff is one of the things musicians naturally do with gear. So, there’s really no reason that musical gear shouldn’t network as easily as Web servers.

Having teased that coming functionality, JazzMutant has now revealed the name (“Mu”), as well as a video showing what the features look like.
