VacoLoco joins Tumblr

Saturday, June 15th, 2013

We’ve now joined Tumblr - http://vacoloco.tumblr.com/ We’ll be using this to post pictures of projects that are in development or that are about to hit the streets. So you can expect more with regards the release of the Zira monosynth and GorF-XL step sequencer in the coming weeks.

Bandpage

Monday, May 27th, 2013

We’ve installed the “bandpage” app on the VacoLoco facebook page, this lets you see demo videos and hear demo music/sounds from the things we make from within Facebook. So why not take a peek, have a listen and like the page whilst you’re there. https://www.facebook.com/VacoLocoInstruments/app_178091127385

Moving up

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

As part of my new years resolution to put considerably more effort into making Vacoloco into a business, I’ve registered, and obtained a MIDI sysex ID.
