In a day and age where everything revolves around “texting” with our kids, the new Yamaha tenori- oN-W ($999) is the rage. designed by media artist toshio Iwai, this hand held pad type device is a new way of creating music. music becomes a wall of light as you paint the sounds across its 256 L ed buttons. d rawing slowly produces slow type patterns. d rawing high/ low produces as such. It has a built in sound module and sequencer and lights up on both sides as it plays. Incredible new type of music making for K-12 kids!

If you have a need to convert those old LP’s (records) into digital files in your computer than the simple easy to use alesis PhonoLink adapter ($49) is just for you. on one end is the uSB cable that simply plugs into your computer, on the other end are two Rca jacks where you turntable plugs into. the pre-amp is built into the cable so it is simply as easy as that.
