UPDATE 3/11/17: Beko has a new version that’s black, not silver. There are big style changes from the original. The coffee process slightly improved for an even smoother cup. The pot stays warmer longer.
We Americans tend to think of coffee as our own thing, but it’s not. It became a success here when colonists boycotted British tea. Before Columbus sailed, coffee was already a popular drink with the Sufis in Yemen. The word “coffee” has a Turkish origin, so Turkish coffee is much closer to “original” than Starbucks or Folgers.
One of the not-so-secret secrets about the ukulele is that some of the best strings are made from fishing line. It’s true. There are a vast number of ukulele string producers out there and most have their strings made in Japan by companies that produce fluorocarbon angling leader. When you give it a little thought, companies that make fine fishing line already have the machines to produce string. So uke companies have worked with these producers to develop ingredient mixes, extruding temperatures and techniques to make some incredible sounding uke strings.
There is no real easy answer for this. That’s because bubblegum is it’s own unique flavor that doesn’t occur in nature. Yet it’s so much a part of our taste vocabulary that when we blind-taste a bubblegum-flavored soda or ice cream, we can identify it immediately.
How to phase a drum loop with the Korg Kaossilator 2s.
There’s been a glitch in the Kaossilator chips since it was introduced in 2007 where the recording loop speed is a few milliseconds off. So if you overdub the loop in the Kaossilator 2S without stopping recording, your drum track will be phased. You won’t get a woosh, but a steady metallic depth. This seems to works on all the Kaossilators.
Start by picking your beat track with the slider.
Then tap the Record button on the right.
Create the loop by holding your finger on the trackpad, but instead of releasing your finger at the end of the loop, hold it for a second round, then release.
