Thorbotron: You can’t deny it anymore
so serious, myninjas.
The norsemen over at Propellerhead have always made the earth tremble with their might, pillaging England and discovering America nonchalantly. But they continue to out-man their heritage by supplying us with their software Reason, and we thank them for that. What’s more, now they’ve granted mortal man the powers of the sun of Asgard, Odin’s beak, the All-powerful mangod Thor. They even show you some interesting shit about using white noise in this tutorial, and using Thors noise oscillators to manifest some pretty tasty jimmy-jams. Peep the sample page to sample Thor’s Hammer, no homo.
I like this graph, because it looks like a technicolor asshole and is to-the-point.
Sincerely,
Robotninja, spoken while dropping herbal smokebomb manuevers, but not read

Indamixx: Portable Production tools for Datazz
Indeed, esteemed ninjamen.
The good people over at the National Beatmakers Association have constructed a portable music making device sure to offset the delicate balance of the cosmos. This little bastard might be the anti-christ, but it might also be mankind’s last and greatest hope (like Obama!), enabling seasoned pros and neophytes alike to record and sequence their music on a solid and portable jambone (unlike Obama). From the site:
Software
- Linux Multimedia Real Time Operating System (OS) – (Low Latency)
- Pre Loaded Software ‘Suite’ (no software or drivers to load)
- Free Software Updates
- Customizable (Open Platform)
- Faster Editing With Touch Screen
Hardware
- Small Form Factor – Ultra Portable
- 40 Gigabyte Hard Drive
- Robust 7.0″ Display at 1024×600
- Hold Switch (Lock Function)
- VGA Port For External Monitor
- Two USB 2.0 Ports
The fact that it’s linux based makes it as stable as the spatial fabric upon which your delicate dimension is nestled. A quick look at the number of plugins they give you (260) and the fact that you can use it to host any other VST you have, and you realize how easily this thing could merge with some punk biker kid from Tokyo, enhance his latent telekinetic abilities and usher in the higher evolutionary capabilities of mankind long before its time. Add the usb ports and touch screen, and it becomes clear that a demon-machine, capable of blasting through the ass of any mortal man, woman or beast of the field, is now upon us.
The price tag gives me pause ($1100), but I get a lot done during those pauses.
Robotninjas don’t sleep

Sampling the digital Omniverse
Yes, myninjas.
The Ambrosia Software ninja-team has constructed a seamless and foolishly capable piece of software, which if left in the wrong hands, could easily lead to the destruction of all audio in the known megaverse. WireTap Anywhere allows users of Apple’s Core Audio to connect any audio source to any audio destination, allowing non-robotninjas to sample any sound their primitive computers can produce.
I always pulled a similar maneuver using an external digital audio interface–I’m prone to route my movies and other system audio out to a light=pipe usb connection. Also, any ninja with an mpc (or lesser hardware sampler) can do the exact same thing, all without having to pay out the ass for a soft version ($129). Still, if I were into podcasting and interviews, it would be nice to be able to record both ends of a skype call, say, or just an ill internet radio station (free of AD/DA conversion, no less).
…blessed are the robotninja–the robotninja will inherit the earth

Rat Braing Merges with Silicon
It’s these spontaneous electrical patterns that researchers at the University of Reading in the UK want to harness to control a robot.
Can’t wait for the unmanned UAV’s to form a hive-mind and start exhibiting signs of swarm consciousness. This will make things much easier when the revolution comes–can’t say what’ll happen to mankind, but when has that not been the case?
