RIP Mika Vainio of Pan Sonic


Some sad news in. Mika Vainio of Pan Sonic passed away at the age of 53. The image to the left is from a 2010 interview with Mika on TECHNOCCULT.

Please click here before you read on. It will bring up this post followed by previous posts featuring Mika sorted by date. Mika has been featured a number of times here on MATRIXSYNTH, most notably in live performances with Franck Vigroux who said it best, "Mika Vainio was simply one a the greatest musicians of today."

Below is a tribute video from Mark Williamson just posted today.

via Wikipedia: "Pan Sonic were a Finnish electronic music group founded in Turku in 1993. The group consisted of Mika Vainio, Ilpo Väisänen, and Sami Salo. Salo left in 1996 leaving Pan Sonic a duo. The group was originally named Panasonic until 1998. In December 2009, it was announced that Pan Sonic would disband after their December 2009 concerts.[1] Their final album, Gravitoni, was released by Blast First Petite in May 2010.[2] Oksastus, a live album recorded in 2009, was released in 2014.[3]"


A groove for Mika - FH-1, Seaboard, Eurorack Modular Published on Apr 13, 2017 mark williamson

"Mika Vainio was a massive influence and so shocked and saddened to hear of his death today.

Making music seemed better than making words so made this little track - restricted myself to my modular. Using the seaboard to drive the DPO via expert sleepers FH-1"

via this auction

"Vintage Octave CAT Synthesizer model 1853, S/N A1955. Note: this is duo-phonic, pre SRM version... Three ICs were replaced and it was cleaned and calibrated... It is in good working condition and fully functional. Cosmetically it is overall good. All of the knobs are original except for three. In the photo they are the ones for VCO1 Coarse and Fine tuning and VCA volume. There are a few minor scratches. There is a little rust on the outside ring of the input/output jacks but does not affect operation. Also there was a hole drilled on each side panel (see photos) so, it's ready for strap locks in case you want to rock out like Edgar Winter."

CHORG PS3500 Demo - A VST Emulation of the Korg PS3300 by K Brown.


Published on Apr 13, 2017 Reuben Jones

"This VST, as well as many others, can be found for free @ http://kbrownsynthplugins.weebly.com/

As I doubt I'll ever get to play a Korg PS3300, I guess we're lucky to have this software experience of the mightiest poly synth ever made.

Here are two sketches played by hand.

Don't go looking for a noise sound generator, because there wasn't one; only as a modulation source.

Sorry for clipping."

Such a fun groovebox to tweak, just a BLAST
to shape the sounds on the fly & get everyone
excited on the dance floor!!!

Throwing Shade - Against The Clock

"Kaleidoscopic sounds from an NTS favorite.

Throwing Shade's regular show on NTS Radio is one of the London station's best, offering an eclectic selection of weird and wonderful music from around the world.

Her own music is just as colorful. Last year's House of Silk EP, released on UK institution Ninja Tune, was a kaleidoscopic trip through glittering melodies and neon synth moods.

We met up with Throwing Shade in her West London studio, where we set her the challenge of making one of her signature pop tracks in just 10 minutes.

"Serviced Last year.

Bought a CHD Midi kit some months ago, now in box.

Flanger, Vibrato, Joystick, and all other functions work as they should.

It has three sections of sounds to use individually, in parts split upon the keyboard, or even groups of different combinations between Synthesizer (Synth), Brass, and Strings. I personally love using the brass and synth for creating drum sounds, they give a nice punch due to the analog nature. The strings have a nice bowing and ensemble as well as vibrato effects too.

With the Trident, you have extra effects built in such as Vibrato and a Flanger (which can be selected to be used with whichever sound section is chosen).


Some signs of wear and tear which is normal for a synth of this age, but overall it's a pretty good looking synth."

ASR X Lo-Fi Bit Crusher FX


Published on Apr 13, 2017 The Daydream Sound

"Reducing the bit rate of your samples on the Ensoniq ASR X drum machine is easy and useful especially for Lo-Fi Boom Bap Hip-Hop. It’s a great feature for shading the tone of your sounds. In this was bit crushing can be used as subtle form of EQ.

Here’s how you do it:

1. Start by pressing the “Sound” button in the track section and scroll until you get to the “Utility Silence” page. This will make sure that all the pads of the ASR X are blank with no sounds.

2. Start with any sample you want and load it to one of the open pads.

3. Once a sound is loaded, select that pad by pressing it and then press the “Process” button in the “Pad” section.

4. Scroll until you see “Reduce Sample Bits?”

5. Press the “Yes” button

6. You’ll be taken to a page where you can select the bit rate you want to use. (You can select between 15 bits to 1 bit).

7. Press the “Yes” button to confirm your selection.

8. That’s it your done?

Thanks for listening Everyone!"
