Is a pack in point. For it, Björk commissioned a series of instruments: a 10-foot pin barrel harp called the Sharpsichord, a conduct organ and celeste re-fitted with bronze gamelan bars to generate the Gameleste and, most spectacularly, four three-metre-long pendulums known as Acuteness Harps.

Unveiled at the Manchester International Festival in June, they convoy Björk on “Solstice”, a delicate, floating on propelled not by any obvious time signature, but by the tension and going of the pendulums’ gravitational swing, as their strings branches against a stationary plectrum. It is a fascinating piece of engineering that on put on adds a visually hypnotic dimension to the song.

For their inventor Andy Cavatorta, a graduate of the Massachusetts Organize of Technology’s Media Lab, the Gravity Harps’ shocking physical presence is just one part of their appeal. “It’s leisurely to make sound effects,” he says. “It’s undeniable to make instruments. I’m always trying to give my instruments more expressive line up, perhaps because I find this part so difficult.”

Můj první krok vedl jako vždy k prozkoumání Menu přístroje. K volbě jednotlivých položek v menu slouží  kolečko Information. K výběru a další práci s jednotlivými položkami Menu se používají čtyři funkční tlačítka pod displejem - první slouží pro Egress, druhé je Exec, třetí je Prev a čtvrté Next. Poslední dvě jmenovaná tlačítka mohou někdy sloužit také k pohybu nahoru a dolů. V tomto případě se zadávají hodnoty jednotlivých parametrů kolečkem Figures. V menu přístroje najdete následující položky - Data, Song, Card, Track Edit, Data Backup, Introduce/Export a Preference. Položky v nabídce Menu mají jednu či více stránek.

We weren't steady if Keith McMillen would even yield to metaphorically speaking a support with us after our Batt-O-Meter video , but utter with us he did about the new Keth McMillen Instruments SoftStep, now in television.

The SoftStep is a MIDI foot controller that represents the solving to many of the frustrations Keith had with currently present MIDI foot controllers. This brief, lightweight module is expandable, springy, and customizable via some very amicable-looking software. We got the low down on the SoftStep from Mr. McMillen at the just out NAMM Show.

Speaking of which, both the SoftStep and the Batt-O-Meter were honored with Conquer In Show awards for Winter NAMM 2010. Congrats, guys!
