New in stock at Sweetwater Sound: Two great new instruments from Yamaha. The S80 is their awesome new 88-note synthesizer. It’s ideally suited to be the master controller in a large setup, but has a full complement of great sounds of its own. Many of its features were born out of the most popular aspects of the legendary KX-88. Retail price $1995. At the other end of the spectrum is their new, low cost MU-15 portable tone module sporting 16 part 32-note polyphony for a low retail price of $299.95. And it has a built in computer interface.
Don’t forget about the amazing deal we have going on Tascam CD-RW5000 CD recorders. You can buy one at our on line store for $699. This is a serious pro machine that records both CDR and CDRW discs. Supplies are limited at this price.
Okay, it’s time for our WSOTM (Web Site of the Month) award. As we begin to roll into the holiday season, video game sales are already on the rise. But wouldn’t you love to get hold of some of those great old games from years past? Things like Asteroids and Donkey Kong? Well there’s actually an organization devoted to preserving these old games called MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). The award goes to a couple of sites: MacMame and Emulation.net are specifically devoted to making these old (and some new) video games run on the Mac. Now you can run the original Atari Pong game on your Mac. Honorable mention goes to the guy who actually has them running on his Kodak digital camera!
