Cast Away (Elektron Digitone // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S-1 // Teenage Engineering KO Sidekick EP 136)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"1 track, 3 machines, a little over 5 minutes. 🎛️

Back with the same setup as *Live at Home 2*: the Elektron Digitone, MFB Tanzbär and Roland S-1. This time, though, it's one continuous piece rather than a collection of patterns and ideas.

All three instruments are connected to the **Teenage Engineering KO II Sidekick EP-136**:
Channel 1: MFB Tanzbär - punchy analog drums
Channel 2: Elektron Digitone - all the synth parts, plus some FM percussion
AUX input: Roland S-1 - Bass

The MIDI chain is pretty straightforward: Digitone to S-1 to Tanzbär.
The Digitone sequences the S-1, while the Tanzbär runs its own internal sequencer.

Things get a little more… unpredictable during the second half of the track, where I start playing around with the Sidekick's Loop effect to create all sorts of drum breaks.

It was an absolute pleasure to play with - perhaps a little too much of a pleasure, judging by how often I kept using it! 😄

But hey, sometimes you find an effect that makes you want to keep pushing it just a little further.

Hope you'll enjoy this one!

As always, the performance was recorded in a single take. I mixed and mastered the individual tracks afterwards in Ableton Live."

Live at Home II (Elektron Digitone // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S1 // Teenage Engineering KO Sidekick)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"It's been almost a year since I last used my Elektron Digitone. The knobs had gradually become sticky, making the instrument pretty unpleasant to use. Since this seems to be an issue other people have experienced too (and I've had similar problems with other gear), I eventually decided to buy replacement knobs and swap them myself.

And honestly, this machine is too good to stay on the shelf!

To celebrate its return, here's a second "Live at Home" session: a 14-minute live set built mainly around patterns I recorded on the Digitone before I stopped using it.

The setup:
Elektron Digitone : the heart of the setup, sequencing the Roland S-1 and sending program changes to switch its sounds throughout the set.
Roland S-1 : mainly handling the bass.
MFB Tanzbär : adding some extra analog drums, using its own internal sequencer.
Teenage Engineering KO Sidekick : processing the Tanzbär (Channel 1) and the Digitone (Channel 2), with onboard effects for breaks, transitions, and a bit of hands-on sound shaping.

The Digitone acts as the master clock, with MIDI running from the Digitone to the S-1 and then to the Tanzbär. While the Digitone sequences the S-1, the Tanzbär keeps its own patterns running in sync with the rest of the setup.

No elaborate concept this time, just a chance to revisit some old patterns, bring the Digitone back into the mix, and see where the machines take me.

As always, the performance was recorded in a single take. I mixed and mastered the individual tracks afterwards in Ableton Live, but the musical performance itself wasn't edited or fixed.

9/27/26 Testing the Bard Frequency Vault + 2050 + TX-1 clone + (…)

video upload by Cfpp0

"9/27/26 Bard Frequency Vault + 2050 + TX-1 clone + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Ladik S-143 & U-202 + MFB dual LFO & dual ADSR + Peavey DDL-3 + ALM Pamela’s New Workout

The racks are ridiculously high now and I think we’ve finally reached our limit. We’ve pretty much got everything Metasonix and Zerosum Inertia have made, and we don’t really need more tube modules. But all of the sudden we started selling again on Reverb, so we got a used Bard Frequency Vault on Modwiggler. I was curious how it compares to the Metasonix RK8 Filterwall. This particular Frequency Vault is wired to a tiny power module and an external power supply to heat the tubes, so we’re able to run it off of a 4ms power supply, along with the 2050 module and the TX-1 clone, which also have external power supplies for the tubes. This video is the first test of the module, with the 2050 audio output running into the main audio input on the Frequency Vault and one of the stereo outputs on the Frequency Vault running to the TX-1 clone."

Manfred Fricke built it by hand in Berlin in 2014, while the rest of the synth industry went digital. Raw, discrete analog. Pure voltage. Few were built, and most never left the studios they landed in.

We sampled all of it. 16,884 ultra-deep (UDS™) multi-samples, four custom CAF models, and over 110 programs by Chimy and Tro//z Folmann.

Monophonic in Berlin. Polyphonic in Soundpaint. At heart a bass synth, it turns out to have a sweet side once it can play chords: cinematic arps, expressive keys, soaring leads and pads.

Dominion 1 runs in Soundpaint V. Free to download. Mac and Windows. Standalone or VST3, AU and AAX."

Knock Out 🎚️(Teenage Engineering K.O.-Sidekick EP-136 // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S-1 // J-6)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"A new little piece of gear joins the setup! 🎛️

This time, I'm introducing the Teenage Engineering KO II Sidekick EP-136 , a small but surprisingly powerful little mixer, and a very welcome addition to the setup.

And this one is a little different from my last jams: there's no external sequencers like the Squarp Hapax or Arturia Keystep Pro involved! 😄

Instead, I'm using the built-in sequencers of all 3 instruments in the setup: the MFB Tanzbär , Roland S-1 and *Roland J-6*. It's actually quite refreshing to let the instruments take care of their own sequences for once.

The Tanzbär is on Channel 1 , bringing its punchy analog drums to the party. Channel 2 is shared by the Roland S-1 and *Roland J-6*: the J-6 handles the bass and chords, while the S-1 also provides the lead chimes during the intro.

The problem? The Sidekick only has *2 stereo channels*.

So, naturally, I had to cheat a little. 😄

9/15/26 (2050 test) 2050 + MFB OSC-02 & dual ADSR + Ladik S-143 & U-202 + CXM 1978 + MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"9/15/26 (2050 test) Jakub Jasiński 2050 + MFB OSC-02 & dual ADSR + Ladik S-143 & U-202 + CXM 1978 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

If you came for metallic falcon screams, jump to 1:19. This unbranded 2050 module was made custom by Jakub Jasiński for the previous owner. It’s plugged in a 4ms pod, but it’s getting 5v DC externally. It’s not a clone, but it seems to have been based on the Zerosum Inertia 6550-99, which is probably the greatest voltage controlled oscillator of all time. The Ladik S-143 (through the U-202 and multiplied) is sequencing the 2050 tune input and pulse input, as well as the MFB OSC-2 CV1. The triangle on the OSC-2 is running to the sync input on the 2050. An envelope from the MFB dual ADSR is running to the 2050 drive input. The delay is from the Peavey DDL-3 and the reverb was blended on CXM 1978."

8/5/26 Metasonix D-2000 & R-57 + Zerosum Inertia Horripilation & TVM23 + MFB SEQ-1 & LFO & ADSR (…)

video upload by Cfpp0

"This rancid beat is starring Zerosum Inertia’s Horripilation module and the S&H from the MFB dual LFO module. The Metasonix D-2000 is being triggered by the MFB SEQ-1, clocked by ALM Pamela’s New Workout. The D-2000 1/4” output is converted to 3.5mm and multiplied by the Doepfer A181 with one copy going to the Metasonix R-57 and the other copy going to the Zerosum Inertia Horripilation into the TVM23 VCA. Both the TVM23 and the R-57 are being modulated by the MFB dual ADSR. The Horripilation filter CV is modulated by the MFB dual LFO triangle output, while the S&H output is modulating the CV on the D-2000 Drum 2, and the left CV input on Horripilation. There are two Alesis MIDIVERB II units. One is set to preset 05 and the other is set to preset 40."

6/6-12/26 (130bpm) Roland TR-606 + Narco Biofeedback System + 1613 + 2a76 + HD 1000 + 1564-A + (…)

video upload by Cfpp0

"6/6-12/26 (130bpm) Roland TR-606 + Narco Biofeedback System + Brüel & Kjaer 1613 + Ibanez HD 1000 + Peavey 1300 & DDL-3 + Dukane 2a76 + General Radio 1654-A + DSP 808 + Simmons SDS-1 + Roland System 100m + Zerosum Inertia 5654 + MFB dual ADSR + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Waveform LPG + CXM 1978

I tend to leave ALM Pamela’s New Workout (the clock) at the same bpm for long periods of time. And since the videos all have the same tempo, I’ll sometimes drop them on top of each other to hear if they work together. Depending on the top layer video, this can result in ugly videos, but iMovie only allows two videos with audio and three audio-only files in the timeline. This video is a composite of several recent unrelated videos, plus a bass drum synthesized for this video to tie it all together. The Roland TR-606 toms are distorted by the Dukane 2a76, and bandpass filtered by the Brüel & Kjaer 1613. The quarter note hat and shaker sound are from the DSP 808 through the Peavey 1300 delay. The snare is distorted by the General Radio 1564-A, and the additional snare sound is the Simmons SDS-1. The hats are from the TR-606. The bass drum is the Roland System 100m 121 VCF, with the resonance maxed, modulated by an envelope from the 140 module, externally triggered by ALM Pamela’s New Workout, then it runs through the Zerosum Inertia 5654 left channel into the right channel, modulated by the MFB dual ADSR, and a reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. The melodic gated element is the Narco Biofeedback System through the Ibanez HD 1000 through the Waveform LPG, gated by the MFB dual ADSR, and then delayed by the Peavey DDL-3. The drone towards the end is also the Narco Biofeedback System through the Ibanez HD 1000, through the DDL-3, and with significant amount of reverb blended on the CXM 1978. Two Alesis MIDIVERB II units are used for the reverbs."

"The D-2000 is being triggered by the MFB SEQ-1. The D-2000 mono output runs through the RK5 lowpass gate. The Zerosum Inertia 5823 Noise Sorcerer is running through the left half of the RK5, with the gate being controlled by the SEQ-1 (and panned a little left on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer).

Animal Factory Dirty Mirror × Korg Monologue // Fuzz Synth Jam (No Talking)

video upload by Animal Factory Amplification

"Use headphones for this one! Animal Factory Dirty Mirror dual parallel fuzz pedal running a Korg Monologue analog synth — no talking, no post-processing, just raw tone. This was recorded in one take to bring out how the Dirty Mirror becomes an instrument in itself.

A love letter to shoegaze, noise, and harsh textures, the Dirty Mirror pairs a modified Shin-Ei Superfuzz (the "Burn" channel) with a heavily modded Big Muff Pi (the "Churn" channel), plus a pre-fuzz delay modulated by an internal LFO and envelope follower. Hand-built in Mumbai by Animal Factory Amplification and debuted at Superbooth 2025.

Here it's sculpting the Korg Monologue's aggressive analog voice into fuzzscapes, drones, seasick vibrato, and pitch-shifted square-wave chaos. Recorded dry — no EQ, no reverb, nothing but the pedal and the synth. Drums from an MFB Tanzmaus (not processed)

Animal Factory Dirty Mirror Fuzz on MFB Tanzmaus | Dual Distortion Delay Jam

video upload by Animal Factory Amplification

"Use headphones or speakers with good bass! Dual fuzz chaos meets beat-driven synthesis! Watch the Animal Factory Dirty Mirror transform the MFB Tanzmaus drum machine with creative distortion and delay manipulation. This is pure experimentation—no tutorial, just sonic exploration.

Gear featured:
Animal Factory Dirty Mirror Dual Fuzz Pedal
MFB Tanzmaus Drum Machine

Not just a shoegaze and noise rock machine - the Dirty Mirror is the perfect fuzz for musicians exploring wall-of-fuzz sounds, experimental synthesis, drum machine effects processing, and unconventional gear combinations."

"The Dirty Mirror takes these two behemoths of sonic perversion and adds an extra layer of nasty – using the core circuit of our Coma Reactor Eurorack module.

This three footswitch, 15 knob pedal looks complicated – but it’s not:

The BURN Channel (left side) is based on our Chemical Burn circuit, a nastier FY-6 variant.

The CHURN channel (right side) is based on a heavily modded Big Muff Pi.

There is a short delay circuit before the fuzz circuits.

Both the fuzz circuits can switch between the input sound, 100% wet delayed sound or a blend of wet and dry.

The fuzz circuits are then mixed in parallel into a high-headroom output section.

For added sickness, the delay time can be modified by an envelope follower or LFO.

Choose your filthy reflection – from straight dual parallel fuzz textures, to seasick vibrato to long slow quasi-chorus phasey apocalyptica.

The delay can be used on its own for slapback, chorus and vibrato effects.

Yes, it can get very noisy.
No, you can’t do anything about it - so weep in pain and pleasure, and submit to the swarms of square waves that joyfully fill your room."
