Particle for the Waldorf Blofeld

Punkwell Particle is a design for a mini keyboard and
programming dock for use with the Waldorf Blofeld.
Originally designed as a miniture keyboard for use with laptops ( thanks to korg again for putting one into production hoho :) ) this design has been expanded specifically to the size of the blofeld, but can also be pulled out to use on any midi keyboard or rack.
Not entirely designed for performance use, the particle is ideally suited to programming sounds where you just want a few keys and pitch/modulations to test but without having to fire up a computer or hook up a larger keyboard, and would equally be useful to those programming sequencers non real time. The keys will also double up as an alphabetic keypad to help naming patches faster.

Korgon-1 is a general purpose brain-wave pattern
interference system primarily used as a head worn
device.
The system aids in containing and blocking most typical brain patterns susceptible to interception from the Korgatronic mind probe satellites and in some situations reduces temperature in hot climates aiding in improved thinking patterns and stuff.

Beat Flare 1

Beat Flare is design for a 16 step beat/noise sequencer
based on the arduino and so is expandable into many
forms. The unit will include a microphone and have
basic 4 part pattern sequencing to allow instant
composing of loops from captured audio or some basic
built in waves. With midi output it will also double up
as a useful step sequencer. At the moment I am weighing
up the pro's and cons between tactile feedback using
button switches and the speed of programming with touch
sensitive input devices. Both would heavily influence
the shape of the design ergonomics, which originally
was going to be a simple stick with 8 or 16 rotatable
edges running down it, and not at all like the mockup
shown here.
