    MIDI Drums/ Samplers : Help!

    Right..... I have got a Roland SP- 404 Sampler that has a MIDI IN (no OUT) port at the back. I need to be able to trigger the sample pads using Electronic drums, except i only need 3 or 4 triggers as i'm in a band whose drummer has already got loads of stuff to deal with. I wanted to buy a...

    the long blondes

    No one read this on another thread so i'm gonna put it here because i'm lazy and hurt...! ....... I Generally agree about the state of music journalism as a whole. Its perhaps because there is so much of it about, so much media to fill, that the need to invent excitement is just becoming...

    Music Mags

    I'm just gonna bang this out while I think about it even though its not really related to the last parts of this thread. (I won't be upset if no one replies!) On other parts of the board theres been some talk (some on my part) of the demise of the ol' NME as a credible journalistic/critical...

    dnb and The Wire

    I agree. I got bought a sub to The Wire, and to be honest, it's good in a library sense-ie- retrospectively. But for NEW music, forget it most of the time. The cds you get free are, bar a few rareties, quite samey: Abstraction for abstractions sake, acoustic guitars, laptop cut-ups, Kieran...

    Why doesn't anyone here like 'indie' music anymore?

    . Absolutely. People aren't getting 'steamed' up over AM's because they are precious clasp-to-the-bosum Dissensus faves grabbed away and made shallow stars of by the evil unwashed hordes. They are talking about them because: [ Eg -fucking-zactly. They are an interesting proposition on those...

    Singapore / Hong Kong / Wellington, NZ

    Thanks everyone for the feedback! Cheers for the advice Michael. I'm not sure i'm really looking for anything I'm familiar with, but, in the classic tourist sense, to make the most of the experience, soak up the flavour, possibly find something a bit unique to the locale. I'll definitely give...

    Singapore / Hong Kong / Wellington, NZ

    Cheers chaps, always good to get a a first hand opinion, particularly as my own travel experiences are so limited. Melchoir, I was flicking through an old issue of the Wire a few days ago and came across a piece about The Space: An improv music place or something, have you heard of it? Also it...

    Singapore / Hong Kong / Wellington, NZ

    In September, I am going to New Zealand for 10 days, Wellington to be precise with a bit of travelling around probably chucked in. But on the way I'm stopping off in Hong Kong for ONE day, and on the way back, Singapore for TWO days. What should I definitely make time for in those three places...

    Arctic Monkeys Explosion.

    There certainly seems something mechanical and inevitable about the Rock process for sure. Lets not forget, its a music industry, a (supposed) creative industry. The NME, Q, and the others, TV and Radio, the style industry they all NEED this over-excitement for good trading. Its like a new line...

    Arctic Monkeys Explosion.

    I think thats certainly a major factor. They come with a myth attached that a lot of those MOR Starsailor types obviously don't. Also of course, their age, attitude, attention to local detail lyrically. The posting MP3s story makes them 'realer', more human, more authentic in the context of...

    Arctic Monkeys Explosion.

    Middle page features in papers; Newsnight review with John Harris and Paul Morley; the Internet background story,-And: a slot on The News At Ten. Fastest selling debut ever? I'm presuming they're not a Dissensus delicacy, but there certainly seems some media fueled moodshift lurking based on...

    match point (film)

    Not that i particularly want to jump in and predict K-punk's response, but probably in the sense that despite the importance with which they are feted, particularly with regards to an intellectual realignment of genre and understanding of cinema in general, watching their films (most of, not...

    "Broken Ear Record" by Black Dice

    I reckon theres a couple of really good ideas in there, (a couple that go nowhere admittedly) with a great sense of 'broken' down rhythm and song. But, yeah: predominantly i have no real burning need to listen to them ever again. I kept reading the hyperbole over and over thinking i'd missed...

    Is Dizzee on this tour? I thought he was still in the States? I'm slow. Yeah this tour is hitting Cornwall as well -yep: wtf??! Should I be expecting good things? :confused: :o

    Wow! One from the recesses! Yeah, one of those black hole memories from school days, absolutely shit me up for years. Really horrendous, bleak stuff. When I was at school (first half of the 90's) I remember, in general, a lot of paraphrenalia lurking around from the previous decade that I...

    Obvious i know: Best films of 2005

    I saw Sunrise the other day, and, yeah, good, but not really the film that was absolutely essential to revisit, (as made out in the Sunset disc interviews) although, obviously, i'm glad they did. Hawke seems to be a bit slimier and Tom Cruise-ish for a start, but i think mainly Sunset works...

    Obvious i know: Best films of 2005

    What is the Brown Bunny like? I've heard roughly 80% that its terrible, but i still want to see it.
