Zaquencer/Beatstep Pro Jam (June 6 2016)

Published on Jun 6, 2016 stereofect

"This time I use Zaquencer to not only sequence my synths but also sync up the Beatstep Pro to Zaquencer. Zaquencer is on X5Dr, Mopho and anode duty while the Beastep Pro handles drums and the AN200. I, of course, play lead on the Bass Station II. An Oxygen8 is used to transpose both Zaquencer and the Beatstep Pro.

Gear used:

Mopho Desktop
Korg X5DR
Meeblip anode
Yamaha AN200
Novation Bass Station II
Boss DR-550 MKII
BCR2000 running Zaquencer
Arturia Beatstep Pro

Zaquencer Jam #2 (April 1 2016)

Published on Apr 1, 2016 stereofect

"More fun with Zaquencer. What a great bit of kit Zaquencer is. Featuring the Waldorf Blofeld, Yamaha AN200, Korg ES-1, Novation Bass Station II, Mopho Desktop And Korg X5DR. Other than the time it takes to set up Zaquencer (not long really) and a few practice runs this is a single take no post processing type jam. Audio was recorded on a Zoom H1. Video recorded with a iPhone6. Smashed together in Sony Movie Studio.
Cheers!!"

Zaquencer Jam #1 (Feb 28 2016)

Published on Feb 28, 2016 stereofect

"The idea here was to make a Dark Ambient type drone track using the standalone sequencer program ZAQuencer.

ZAQuencer is sequencing a Blofeld and TX7 while I transpose the sequence with a Launchkey49 and play with the controls on the Bass StationII. LoopyHD (running some pre-made loops) is slaved to the ZAQ clock. I mix it all real-time on the BX8. I use an Alesis Wedge and TC Electronic Hall of Fame for FX. The whole setup is standalone. Single take, no overdubs.

Cheers!!"

Sunday Synth Jam (Oct 4 2015)

Published on Oct 4, 2015 stereofect

"Gear used:

Arturia Microbrute se
Blofeld Desktop
Mopho Desktop
Novation Bass Station II
Roland Alpha Juno 1
Meeblip anode (white)
Novation Launchpad S

Sequenced the synths with the Bass Station. Latch'd loops with the Launchpad and played some simple lead stuff on the Alpha Juno.

The loops are atmospheric ambient type stuff I made using iOS synth apps such as Magellan, Sunrizer, iSEM, Thor and Animoog loading them into the Launchpad iOS app and feeding them to Dedalus and AUFX:Dub. I use a Alesis Wedge to add effects to the synths.

Cheers!!"

Ambient Drone Jam (July 18 2015)

Published on Jul 18, 2015 stereofect

"An ambient drone jam featuring the following synths:

Korg X5Dr
Mopho Desktop
Waldorf Blofeld
Roland Alpha Juno 1
Arturia Microbrute se
Novation Bass Station II
NlogSynth Pro on an ol' iPad1

Not a whole lot to see here as the majority of the gear used is off camera, but the whole thing is sequenced with the old school (circa 1998) Arp-X8 midi arpeggiator from Techno Toys and mixed in realtime. I used the Gliderverb app on my iPad4 for FX and a nanoKey2 for transposing the sequences.

Hope you like it.

Cheers!!"

iPod mopho mix

Published on Mar 9, 2013 stereofect·10 videos

"Sequencing a DSI Mopho using a iPod Touch 4G running the Little Midi app w/Midi Mobilizer. The audio from the Mopho is routed back to the iPod via a iRig and filtered through Magellan Jr's FX (delay/reverb) via Audiobus and then recorded in Audioshare. This pretty much pushes the iPod to its lmits as far as processing is concerned but it works."

"It's from the Globe & Mail Travel section about Newfoundland (St John's to be exact) and the scene there. The print edition, where I spotted this, has another shot that shows the Yamaha DX27 (I think that's what it is) better than the one in the web version."
