Octavius Squeezer analog bass synthesizer pedal

I can be a sucker for over kill. This might qualify. Godlyke has released Octavius Squeezer Bass Synthesizer Pedal. It is a fancy hybrid with lots of bells and whistles. I think the idea of the smart card is. When equipment gets as fancy as this it is nice to have an easier way to manage it. I think we will be seeing more gadgets like this.

There pitch:

The Octavius Squeezer is the world’s first analog/digital hybrid bass synthesizer to be housed in a compact stompbox format. With an analog audio path that features a variety of synth, octave, fizz, and filter effects and a digital preset system that allows constant reconfiguration of the audio signal path and storage of parameter settings as well as an on-board tuner and tap-tempo metronome, the Octavius Squeezer is one pedal that no bassist will want to be without!

Here is a bunch of cool stuff I have found lately:

The Openstomp Coyote1 is a product seemingly made for me. A stomp box that you can program to be any thing you wish. Sound great but it is not yet released. I am going to keep an eye on it there is a lot of potential.

From the site:

What is it?

The OpenStompTM Coyote-1 is an open source audio effects processor built for guitar players. With the Coyote-1 users can develop custom audio effects in software (like distortion, echo, chorus etc.), mix multiple effects to build “patches”, and exchange those effects and patches with the OpenStompTM community.

A companion Windows application (OpenStompTM Workbench) allows Users to combine effects into patches graphically, and to move patches and effects between the Coyote-1 device and their PC’s disk.

The Coyote-1 O/S is open source so users can tweak it to behave any way they like, and the hardware is fully documented so that developers can take control of the whole pedal, dedicating all available system resources toward the implementation of unique custom solutions.

Those Wii remote are cool and have lots of great uses. Macs people should check out WiiToMidi.

From the site:

WiiToMidi allows you to convert signals from a Nintendo Wii controller to MIDI signals. It is a Cocoa application for Mac OS X and uses the DarwiinRemote WiiRemote framework to decode Wii controller signals. It also supports the Nunchuk controller.

From Remix comes some really great tips for make glitch effects.

Karlheinz Essl has some neat software for making generative music. I found this when I got interest in generative music after reading about Brain Eno and Spore.

Gearslutz has a good thread on optimizing your PC for audio production use.
