The AlphaSphere website went offline a while ago, so it looks like it's the end of the line for these. Old news probably, but I hadn't realised. It's a pity, because apart from being an innovative MIDI controller, it's also a useful mood lighting accessory.
I thought I'd have a go at When Smokey Sings at a jam night later...sure, very cheesy, I deplore ABC really. But the AlphaSphere seemed a fun option, so I've readied it with string samples.
