Guess who's bizack! With a new toy...the MONOME!

This contraption is called a Monome, a music based computer program unit, that has all the capabilities of "Fruity Loops" the beat making program. The hardware designers are based out Philly, and have cashed in on these 8x8 panels of light. The 8x8 edition (seen below) first went on sale May 2006 with only 400 copies made and sold world wide. With units selling out within it's first year on the market, these guys mean business. But what makes these Monomes such a hot commodity? After some serious research I've come to find that endless possibilities lead to great music production. Just imagine making music without boundaries, without limits, where the imagination has 100% dictatorship over your craft? What would become of the producer, who can make the beat he has in his mind without becoming content with what his computer program will let him do? Well, that is to say once he has mastered the seemingly "computer geek" piano first (which looks like you might need a little more than a "101" class). But everything comes with practice, and good luck getting your hands on one. They tend to sell out within the first few minutes upon release. But def. worth checking out.
