Umyx 3.0

I've had a look at the preview clip of Moby's New York, New York single (featuring Debbie Harry on vocals).



This is (one of?) the first tracks to be supplied in the Umyx 3.0 format. The key feature here (notice the circled pulldown in the photo) is that you can not only switch samples in and out and change the volume, you can also cut, copy and paste sections of the song. This gives a *lot* more flexibility - you can extend the intro, remove choruses, really change the style of the song.

No effects or external samples though - although one option would be to feed the output into a mixer and play around with that.

saw UMYX technology for the first time on a Lily Allen disk in STARBUCKS. From the basic perspective of all things interactive are good, we approve. The limitations on external samples and outputting (besides by taping your audio out) are still limitations though, which, by the same blanket type principle, sucks.
