Our friends at Sony Oxford are proud to announce the update of their site. It's certainly not a luxury in view of the quality of their products but, as the saying goes, better late than never…As a result, it's got it all: ultra clean interface, detailed product information, demonstrations, online sales, etc…The catalog doesn't show anything new aside from the following essentials:

- Oxford EQ
- Oxford EQ + GML
- Oxford Dynamics
- Oxford Inflator
- Oxford TransMod
- Oxford Reverb
- Oxford Restoration Tools

For days and days, all "computer music" web sites and blogs speak about this "event". What a pity ! MoogMusic announces that the Bob Moog Soft Vinyl Doll is now available for purchase. The doll is approximately 6.5 inches (165 mm), with the glasses and the jacket, and comes with a little minimoog. This stupid knack costs $29.95 plus shipping.

Is the full size Clara Rockmore latex doll coming soon ?
