The Anti Drum Machine

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Back in May at Superbooth one instrument that absolutely gripped me as one of my highlights of the show was the Manifold Research Centre Antilope. It’s a semi-modular, Eurorack compatible instrument that sits somewhere at the crossroads of being a drum machine, a groovebox, a percussion synthesizer, an FX processor, an experimental noise synth all tied together through an exploration of feedback and resonance.

In this video I’ll be exploring each aspect of the Antilope section by section to understand how they work and what they can do. We’ll take a look at how it operates as an instrument in its own right, but also various different ways that you can integrate it with other gear.

Transparency Notice: Manifold Research Centre kindly sent over the Antilope for me to make videos about; I haven't otherwise been paid but I do get to keep the unit sent to me. Manifold Research Centre have not asked nor been given any editorial oversight into the video's content.
