Remember what I said about drummers...

Wondering which HTC model to buy?...

Uses military grade encryption.

Obama's probably got one.

"The Securephone features robust 256 bit, triple cipher, layered encryption based on AES, Twofish and Serpent ciphers. Any one of these encryption algorithms is considered unbreakable by today's standards and the triple layer ensures that encrypted data is future-proof."

Only problem is it runs windows...

Reactable goes live - 29/03/10

How long has it been...? I first heard of the Reactable from a YouTube vid back in 2006, which was the first year of my degree.



2007 caught it during Björk's set at Glastonbury Festival.



Then finally got to play on the beast myself at Sonar 2009..



2010 - Reactable Live is for sale.. initially 20 units, selling at a cool €9700.




It looks as though it's similar to the versions I played on at Sonar, and requires a Mac to play, suggesting that there's massive programming potential.

Imagine they'll sell quick, even though they don't ship till June...

This is the beginning of a new wave of professional future-synths.

The difference between reactable and other more 'consumer-friendly' synths, such as Tenori-on and Kaos Pad, is that the Reactable crew havn't rushed to market. The Reactable crew have developed the most kicking product, and built their reputation from that, I doubt when they began there was ever a vision of how many units they can shift, they just wanted to make an awesome synth.



Yamaha and Korg will have to up their game.
