Another useful and cheap sensor board Arduino . You can assemble yourself or purchase pre-assembled.

Also the software to talk to the I/O unit is excellent - see The Software Page

An excellent very well priced sensor interface, the MIDIsense requires DIY soldering skills, and has a limited number of i/o, however it offeres a focused community of users and some excellent online tutorials

RAX 2 seems like an interesting approach to live performance using a computer and a bunch of plugins, it also seems to offer setlists and other accessories for keeping your live performance on track.

Ten issues of New Music Australia from 1982 to 1992 have been resurrected along with the music as mp3 files here .

Te NMA publication is one of the only sources of information and guidance as to the kinds of discussions occuring during this period in Australia, and who were some of the main players of the time. I am very grateful that this resources has been resurrected for us all to use.

Another useful resource for those interested in Australian music is the Australian Music Centre

Thanks, Garth
