AUDIO "TRIPPIN" CUBES

di Frankie (12/05/2007 - 17:09)


I've just received an email from Percussa informing us of the Christmas discount for the AudioCubes.  If you like Electroplankton this is the  Christmas present for you (if you are a rich synth otaku you could also consider TenoriOn but I personally prefer these little cubes). The Percussa AudioCubes are cubes capable of generating and processing audio and MIDI, lets you create unique sounds and musical patterns without twiddling knobs and displays psychedelic colours synchronized to the music. Back in the days, I've been a techno musician, DJ (and actually also VJ when there wasn't even a word for it: damn I'm old!)  and I still trip to Jeff Minter's masterpieces so I will order 4 cubes as my "official present for myself for  2007"!
(kimoi otaku confession: I love Christmas but when I was a kid I never got the presents I wanted so few years ago I started to buy one present by myself and I put it under the Christmas tree so I can enjoy Christmas morning like kidsd in the movies)!

This portable version is being developed by Alfa System and will feature additional missions and stories (not found in the original PS2/360 version) and WiFi multiplayer mode with up to 4 players.
