Tascam MP-VT1 DAP: A Musician’s Delight

If you are not a musician, there is no reason for you to read this article. The Tascam MP-VT1 Digital Audio Processor (DAP) has been designed only for those who appreciate the purpose of this utilitarian device. For musicians, this device offers everything that they would look for. And when it comes from a renowned company like Tascam, there could be hardly any doubt about the quality of the device. A veritable device, the MP-VT1 is loaded with features like Variable Speed Audition to slow songs down with no variation in the pitch. This would particularly appeal to DJs who can configure the songs for loops. You can also modify the pitch of the music played in the device. Additionally, it incorporates a built-in metronome, to regulate the pulse, and an instrument tuner. There are jacks for the microphone and line-out. The only limitation is its memory capacity that cannot hold more than 240 songs. However, there is no doubt that the music buffs would just love this device. Via: Crunchgear

Segue redesigns Segway: Globe-trotting music reinvented

Every device launched carries with it the invisible burden of ‘changing human lives’. Futuristic or utilitarian, people look for something ‘more’ – the driving factor behind every innovative device that eventually falls flat trying to exceed the expectations of consumers. This trend was evidenced when Segway was released. Disappointed consumers sought a better design and respite came in the form of Australian electronic due Segue’s new concept. Ironing out the flaws of the Segway model, Leo Hede and Dave Dri have come out with a concept that redefines ‘mobile’ music (don’t confuse it with mobile phone music!). The duo believed that Segway needed a beer fridge, Ableton Live sync, and Monome control to live up to its hype as the globe-trotting music machine. Along with expert advice from Jaymis Loveday, the brain behind CDM, Leo and Dave have whetted the Segway concept with the addition of two laptops, synthesizers, MPC sampler, MIDI controllers and FX units. Although this concept has been built with the Segway model as the base, the duo certainly deserves appreciation for the effort they have put in to create a winning design. Via: Createdigitalmusic
