He thought it was interesting, maybe you will too: >>From kflint Thu Aug 28 07:48:45 1997 >From: "Lambert, Georges" <Lambert.Georges@fin.gc.ca> >To: "'kflint@annihilist.com'" <kflint@annihilist.com> >Subject: Check this out... >Date: Thu, 28 Aug 1997 10:46:23 -0400 >X-Priority: 3 >MIME-Version: 1.0 > >Kim, >This new gizmo does loops with its repeat function, cheap and >interesting. >It might be interesting to post that in the list, but I don't know how. >Long time, low price, that is interesting, I need only looping for >guitar practice, >Record chords and solo over the change, that might be the one I was >looking for, better than tape. >It comes from >http://www.harmony-central.com/Newp/1997/Pocket-Memo.html > >Hope this is useful for the list people, did anyone tried it, according >to your knowledge? > >Georges Lambert >lambert.georges@fin.gc.ca > >_______________________________________ >New Pocket-Sized Digital Audio Recorder >E.W. Bridge >New Pocket-sized Digital Recording and Replay Tool for Musicians > >Redwood City, CA July 23, 1997 Today E.W. Bridge LLC introduced the >world's first truly pocket-sized digital recorder and player for >musicians. Being only 3/8 inch thick, and 4 inches long and 2 1/4 inches >wide, Musician's Pocket Memo goes anywhere comfortably on one's person. >It is designed for common needs voiced by most musicians. While >on-the-go they can capture melodies, lyrics, and riffs, including live >music, for easy reference and improvement later. They also can replay >their recordings wherever they happen to be. > >Musician's Pocket Memo's digital sound quality is the first in the world >to be sufficiently clear for musicians while maintaining pocket size and >widespread affordability. It features an advanced mono sound synthesis >chipset, high-sensitivity small microphone, and high output small >speaker. Its unique sound clarity results from these high quality >components together with finely tuned integration circuitry. The result >is noticeably better sound than most portable cassette recorders. > >Operation is through a fully labeled and intuitive 7-button membrane >keypad. Since recording is digital on non-volatile flash memory, each >recording is stored separately and easily found. Each can be >individually deleted which consolidates remaining recording capacity. >Recordings do not risk malfunction or mechanical damage which can occur >with tape cassettes. Stereo input and output 3.5 mm jacks allow >connection to other essentials. Musician's Pocket Memo connects to >headphones , external mikes and speakers, studio equipment, PCs, and >directly or through mixers to electronic instruments. For example, >electric guitars need only a simple $2 mechanical jack adapter. >Electronic keyboards and other high power equipment can connect through >a mixer. > >Says Clay Bullwinkel, President of E.W. Bridge, "We have made and sold >tens of thousands of general-purpose high-capacity digital sound >recorders worldwide since 1995. Customers have always told us that we >are in a class by ourselves regarding sound quality for this kind of >pocket-sized digital device. Just last year we began to hear repeatedly >from musicians who were using them. The musicians not only underscored >the sound quality again, they told us we were crazy not to be marketing >it to the music community. They helped us figure out that adding input >and output jacks, plus some fine-tuning of the sound circuitry, would >help. And there you have it. For musicians we maintain our same >responsive and supportive approach as always. Plus a very active >research and development program with over 30 engineers." > >E.W. Bridge LLC will begin by mid-August to make Musician's Pocket Memo >available through music retailers and catalogs across the U.S. You can >place your orders by calling 888-248-3628 (toll free), (415) 361-4916, >fax to (415) 261-2172, www.ewbridge.com, or via email to >sales@ewbridge.com. > > > >Features and Prices > >Physical characteristics > > > >*True pocket size: 3/8 " x 2 1/4" x 4" / (9.5 x 56 x 101 mm) - rests >comfortably in pockets, purses, etc. *Weight: 2.4 ounces (68g) >*Intuitive and quickly referenceable 7-button plastic membrane keypad >*Integrated advanced sound synthesis chipset, high-sensitivity >microphone, high output speaker *2 or 4 MB (megabytes) flash memory - >recordings secure when power low or is absent > > > >Functional characteristics > > > >*Distinctly crisper and stronger mono sound - (approx. 8kHz - better >than most cassette recorders) *9.5 to 19.1 minutes in music mode (short >play), 25 to 50 minutes in speech mode (long play) *Quick scanning from >recording to recording or within recordings to find key sound *Deletion >of individual (or all) recordings, consolidates all remaining ones >*Volume control for privacy and power savings *Stereo input and output >jacks - 1/8" (3.5 mm) *Use with PC requires PC sound card and speakers. >Transfer done via analog playback into sound card jack *Both LED and >sounds confirm successful completion of functions and battery status >*Rugged, impact-resistant metal casing and surface mount construction >*Keypad security prevents unauthorized replay > > > >Includes > >*Attractive four-color glossy gift box: 5 1/4" x 6" x 1", 6 ounces (127 >x 165 x 25 mm, 170 g) *Handsome smooth leather case, quick reference >decal, and user's guide *4 replaceable batteries (Duracell PX625A or >Varta V625U available as replacements) *3.5 mm connector cables not >included *30-day satisfaction guarantee - within 30 days return fully >intact and with minimal use for full refund *Standard limited warranty > >Standard ModelsSuggested Retail List PricesSPE25A-2J-EW (9.5minutes >short play, 25 minutes long play, 2 MB -megabytes- flash >memory)$119.95SPE50A-2J-EW (19.1 min., 50 min., 4 MB)$239.95 > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Product announcement posted by Harmony Central¨ > ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
