also contains; Signal generators and other
noise making devices.It has several,
Mic inputs and 8 Audio outputs. It requires
around 24 AA batteries. A mains 240v Fluorescent
tube provides a screen like glowing panel

provides electrical interference. The Log1K
is
defined by being constructed from a fully

into two half's and hinged at one side; thus
giving it a laptop like appearance.

'
The all-new Log1k is here.
And it's unlike anything you've seen or
experienced. With a brilliant flat-panel
display and phenomenal performance, Log1k is
the first computer built from the ground
up to be the ultimate hub for the owl project
lifestyle. Its
time to log on...'
The Log1k was designed and constructed by the Owl Project.
They have been using the Log1k to perform their own brand
of electronica, which combines electro-magnetic fields and signals to produce
complex beats and ambient sound.
'
Down-to-earth ease of use. Out-of-this-world
performance and looks. Log1k is
great in the home or the forest. '
The log1k was originally designed and constructed as a complete alternative
to using laptops during live audio performances. However as time has moved
by so has the need for compatibility and perfect speed control.
At the heart of each log1k lies a micro controlled step motor. This allows
many log1ks to run in sync with each other, as well as other software packages
and Owl Projects own Soundlathe. log1k also comes fitted with a series of micro
and reed switches which trigger samples and control audio circuits.
Now running interchangeably solid oak, beech and cherry disks, the sounds produced
are generated by the natural rhythms of these forms. Down-to-earth ease of
use. Out-of-this-world performance and looks. log1k is great for the home or
the forest.
