About me: Are you a guitar player? Do you desperately want access to all those cool synthesizer sounds available with keyboards (but you do not play keyboards or the piano; you only know the guitar-neck; keys are simply not your instrument of nature)? Have you tried all the guitar midi converter pick ups out there? Have you noticed that they do not track that great & you always get crazy notes that you did not actually play? Do you wish there was a MIDI controller that was glitch free that allowed you to apply your “guitar neck familiarity” to use with synth sounds? Do you have tons of soft-synth programs or keyboards (but not really able to apply them with your music because your fingers do not play keys well)? Do you feel trapped with the limitations of a conventional guitar’s sounds? Do you ask yourself what can I do to break free & join the revolution of synthesizer & sampler musicians? Look no further. We are STARR LABS (designers of specialized MIDI controllers & also a bunch of engineers who happened to be guitar players). We design & sell (factory direct) EXACTLY what you need. We can ad any custom requests you desire. Please write us here for more info (or...call 858-271-9827).
I see the potential in this revolutionary instrument to change rock and roll for the millions of kids in the Guitar Hero generation. The way Jimi Hendrix sounded when people first heard him, like a rocket to the moon.
Recently, I added a new song to my music player called, "Always" which might be one of the best songs I've written so far. The chorus was scored for an entire violin section, however, in studio, I had one violinist, Jan "Yes I Can" Sullins. I asked her to single handedly create the sound of a "Hollywood style" string section. This is almost like telling someone, "Please jump rope one handed 10 times while monkeys nip at your feet." :-)
Lucky for me, Jan worked some magic and it's now track 1 on my newly released CD, "Awakening." To celebrate the release, I've decided to give away the track for free. It's called "Always" and you can download it at http://ping.fm/lQt6I
Hello Starr Labs. I am Shmanbot, the androgynous cybernetic organism from the Planet Xyzzyx.
Thanks for the add! A Z-tar would be an awesome addition to the Shmanbot repertoire, once we start getting some more cash flows.
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy Shmanbot's silly music and videos. We also have a hilarious full-length CD on iTunes and AmazonMP3, if you're interested.
Hope you're having a great week so far and can find time to relax with us at the weekend again with another TDFZ Radio podcast exclusive Best wishes Chris
