More h2n goodies

I also got the accessory kit for the h2n. It really is a bag of goodies, with a hard case, remote, tripod, handle, AC adapter and more. I think it is actually a little bit of a necessity really. Especially the hard case.

Now that’s an excellent Christmas present

I’ve wanted a dedicated field recorder for ages, and this year I got one for Christmas. A lovely Zoom h2n. It is excellent and just the right size. I’ve just started to use it, but I can see a lot more field recording happening soon!

Things to wait for in 2016

I am really looking forward to this next year. I’m so glad that they got over the line with their Kickstarter and are well on their way to delivering.

Is it worth getting the 6s or waiting for the 7?

Posted by ashleyelsdonon December 24, 2015in Stuff, TechLeave a comment

I’ve been thinking about this ever since the 6s came out and 3D touch was announced. It is of course the 3D touch feature that I’m most interested in. Aside from that it is just another iPhone. But I’m torn. Should I wait for the 7, which will invariably have more features and I might want one of those, or should I dive in now and get a 6s and use the 3D touch?

I’m not sure. The cautious part of me says to wait, but I’m not sure it’s right this time.

Favourite pictures of 2015 … a PDA and a mini Modular

For me this was a great thing. Setting up the Handera 330 and the bC-16 together. That was so cool. Using apps like Theremini and BeatPad and Hedghog.

Crafty Robots

Yep, they’ve arrived, and in good time for Christmas. I backed these on Kickstarter and I’m looking forward to playing with them over my Christmas break. There’ll be a video I’m sure!

I’d been after one of these for so long and at long last this year I’ve got one. It is lovely, really lovely.

Favourite pictures of 2015 … The Olegtron!

I got the Olegtron for Christmas last year and it is a thing of joy, at least it is for me anyway. It’s enormous fun to play and experiment with. I haven’t had enough time to play with it but I hope to again soon. It’s a great device, and I’m glad to have one.

The littleBits web simulator is looking good

I think this could be amazing. I do think that littleBits should be doing this themselves. They should also make it a part of their iOS app. Anyway, if you’re interested in it, take a look at the GitHub page and check the roadmap.

I know I said that I wasn’t posting any more SoundLab photos, but apparently I am

I loved these two pictures of someone using the proximity pads that I made and that Jo and I got working with Bare Conductive’s TouchBoard.
