"This one is in excellent cosmetic condition and is working 100%. It is ready to be used and needs nothing! It does not have the midi jacks installed as I didn't want to drill any holes into the unit, but it can be controlled via midi by the USB jack located in the battery compartment. All of the data is stored into it's internal Eprom so batteries are no longer needed to maintain it's memory. Please go to the Social Entropy website to see the specs of this upgrade."
"In this episode of Studio Science, recorded in her home studio in Detroit, Erika uses the same Roland SH-101 synthesizer she was first tasked with upon joining Ectomorph two decades ago to break down her approach to analog synthesis. She details how synthesis lies at the root of her creative process and explains how she uses it to create sketches of songs, as well as improvised performances.
From an early age, Erika showed an affinity for technology and using it to express herself. At age 13 she was running a Bulletin Board System from her bedroom. In 1997, after moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan, she joined local techno outfit Ectomorph and “went to bootcamp,” as she recalls, learning about programming and performing live electronic music. Two years later, in 1999, she set up erika.net, a freeform streaming radio station that ran for 17 years. Today, the producer and musician continues to perform and release music both on her own and as one-half of Ectomorph alongside Brendan M. Gillen, with whom she also runs the Interdimensional Transmissions label.
The Red Bull Music Academy is a global music institution committed to fostering creativity in music. We celebrate music, its culture, and the transformative minds behind it. Begun in 1998, the Academy has taken the core principles that underlie its annual workshop for selected participants and applied this curatorial approach to events, lectures, and city-wide festivals throughout the year."

"This is my second live trance performance using the Roland Boutiques with special appearances by the Moog Mother 32 and Social Entropy Engine. Hope you enjoy it!

"Got my Engine this week and i'm realy happy with it! This video just shows the different ways to record a polyphonic sequence into the sequencer.
1. Chord memory per step
2. Realtime recording
3. Programming each pitch per step separate
Drums - Korg Volca Beats
Chords - Roland Juno 106, Strymon Blue Sky"
"The first in hopefully a series of classic 808 tracks using the Roland Boutique TR-08. Also the first video since I got the Social Entropy Engine. Hope you enjoy it!

"Here's a demo of the Engine MIDI Sequencers Arpeggiator, Pattern Direction and Randomisation functions. I'm using it with the excellent MB33 Retro Bassline synth.
Here I use the arp to create a pattern with the chosen three notes. I then choose the number of octaves. Once I'm happy I record the notes into the step sequencer so that I can add accents and slides. Then I have a play with pattern direction (Forward, backward, pendulum, random and probability) and various pattern lengths. At the end I used the Engines randomisation function to create a few new patterns using my chosen notes and transposition."
