[sdiy] Radio Shack catalogs

[Paul Cunningham]

I'm not sure how this thread turned to synth software interfaces, but I
can definitely tell you that the iPad makes a lot of those novelty  
iPhone
instruments immediately a lot more accessible. Apps such as the argon  
and
ellatron are suddenly real instruments to me and worthy of  
consideration.
Before it was just kinda fun to play mellotron strings on my phone  
but now
I can actually play them as an instrument. Choose your interface whether
it is a touch screen or knobs and banana plugs. If you can connect to it
in a meaningful way who cares?

Anyone care to comment on the mopho keyboard and the complexity that  
lies
beneath the knobs? I just got one yesterday and feel I have a pretty  
good
grasp of how to work it, but there is definitely a lot of software in
play... I would like to diy an instrument at this level of complexity  
one
of these days... -pc
