The MR-10 is a compact analogue drum machine from the early 80's made by Yamaha. It features 5 pads that you can hit to trigger the sounds and some cheesy tango & waltz presets.

As always, great care has been taken to keep the original sound alive and kicking with a high headroom, but some subtle tube coloring and compression assures you to make this kit sound unique.

The pro kit gathers 5 tone variations from each of the 7 individual sounds, in stereo, 24bit, 48khz wav files. It costs only 1,40$. The free kit lets you play with one full sample kit (7 sounds, mono, 16bit/44.1khz wav files).

Here's a video for any of you curious as to what we've been up to in the past months with FRACT OSC. It's essentially what we showed off a few weeks back at the IGDA DemoNight, and shows off two parts of the game, namely one of the newer puzzles and the studio, which is a hub where players begin and then come back to later in the game.

As the player progresses through the game, they are exposed to different elements of sound and music through puzzles and the world. As such, they are introduced progressively to the tools that they will eventually use in the studio. The studio acts as the culmination of their actions in rebuilding the world, where they eventually return and be able to make their own music.

Metric Halo is pleased to officially certify two Thunderbolt adapters for use with their line of FireWire based audio interfaces.

According to Allen Rowand of Metric Halo, "We've tested the Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter in the Apple(r) 27-inch Thunderbolt Display and the Sonnet Technologies(tm) Echo 34 adapter combined with their FireWire 800 Pro ExpressCard - both systems provide performance identical to native FireWire ports.

So, When we'll can buy a real Metric Halo Thunderbolt audio interface, hummmmm?
