309 Vs. Audio Damage Tattoo Techno Industrial Ableton Jam
Sunday, February 21st, 2010
YouTube via statikfire “A little jam out with some friends. Quasimidi 309, Audio Damage Tattoo, and RY-30 all behaving as drum machines. Some additional walks and FX by Dave Smith Evolver MEK, and Clavia Nord Lead (Original). Filmed by my lovely wife Diane. MP3 available upon request. The AD tattoo is able to do A LOT more than what I am using it for here, but hey, it’s another drum machine and I love it. I’ll get fancy another day. Samples (stock on 309) remind me of Thrill Kill Kult.”

Creating swing feel on the Roland MC-4b
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
YouTube via darenager “A demonstation of how to create swing on the Roland MC-4, you could also apply the same technique to the MC-202, MC-8 or other similar device, if this video proves popular I may do some more tutorials. This is not a musical performance just a demonstration of technique so I have kept it to a simple 16 step sequence, of course you can use any length of sequence depending how patient you are. First set the timebase to 48,12,6, this gives you 48ppqn so each 16th note will last for 12clocks, and enter your notes as normal. in the first part of the clip I am playing the sequence straight – so all step lengths set to 12. Next we enter step time mode (shift 2) and change each alternate step to an offset of 12 but so that each 2 adjacent steps add up to 24, for example 14 and 10 as in the second example, or 13 and 11 (third example), higher difference = heavier swing feel. You can have the smaller number first or second depending on whether you want a rushed or lazy feel, also you can experiment with more complex timings for different types of groove, such as a pattern of 4 – 14,10,13,11 or whatever, just make sure that your total measure length is equal to 192 so that the sequence cycles correctly when synced. That’s pretty much it, hope you find it useful and thanks for watching.”
Wiard Noise Ring
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
YouTube via inverseroom. “In this 4-minute video, I’m using a Wiard Noise Ring to modulate various parameters of the Blacet Stonz phaser, Blacet Klang Werk ringmod, and Metalbox Bi-N-Tic Filter. There’s a lot more you can do with the Noise Ring, but this is the stuff that falls into the instant-gratification category. This Frac Rack system also includes some Bananalogue and MOTM; over on the left is a small Doepfer system that, in this instance, I’m just using for the amplitude envelope and mixer.”

KORG Trinity Rack TR Review
Sunday, February 14th, 2010
via Hexfix93. Full review with samples here . “This is my secret weapon. It can step in and do most any job. Yeah, the sounds are compressed rompler stuff, but seriously, the filters in this have this wet sound, this air to them that really makes things cut in the mix and sound lush and vibrant. I love the filters on this, I tried to like the triton, but the filters were not the same.”

EDP Wasp Analog Synth
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
via this auction “The Wasp is a quirky little synthesizer that, despite its toyish look, is quite capable of funky analog sounds. It really is black and yellow too, just like the insect it is named for. Probably its most distinguishing feature is the keyboard and its non-moving touch-sensitive keys. That’s right, the flat little keys are only sensitive to your electro-static touch. It’s a nifty technology for 1978. There’s also a little speaker built-in to the synth and EDP’s own pre-MIDI connectors for linking to other Wasps and EDP gear and can be used with Kenton gear to control via MIDI.” Note the vidoe in the auction and below if from 2008 and likely not the unit for sale, but who knows… previously posted
Speak and Spell pitch via CV
Monday, February 8th, 2010
YouTube via sparkey1 “This is a total hack CV control circuit I was testing for a modded Speak and Spell. A photocell shrinkwrapped agaist an LED provide a way to convert 0-9v to a resistance. Luckily CV is DC so that works out pretty nicely. The voltage ranges and resistance need to be tweaked to give more accurate control, and there are plenty of places for this to go wrong, but this is just a really basic proof of concept.”
