The Vestax Faderboard is a keyboard-like sampling / modular instrument that operates exclusively on faders. The idea originally invented by Shing02 using a digital multi-track recorder and a mixer, the faderboard was presented to, and developed up by Vestax over a course of two years in a collaborative effort with Korg. For specs, go to the links page or read the tech review below.

Boeing down in flames

Got up, sipped coffee, casually scrolled Twitter while figuring out what to wear, when the video of a Boeing in flames caught my eye
