SnowKickDrumAndTheSeven303s (Friday Free D/L!)

SnowKickDrumAndTheSeven303s (Friday Free D/L!) by highsage
"A live demonstration of the Elektron OctaTrack, specifically Scene-Morphing and scene jamming using the cross fader. This is inspired by BOR spinning in Eindhoven at the Zodiak stage... probably the only audience I can think of that could handle the ending...

Track composed entirely of one kick drum sample from my modded TR-909 kick drum circuit, and then seven samples from my TB-303, including two from thebeast.co.uk tb-303. Is it still OK to call this minimal these days? What do you say, Mr. Hood?"

Frac into Euro Adapter via The Beast

Full details here
"As anyone who has tried to mount a frac module into a euro system will know, the frac modules are slightly higher than the euro ones.

The euro rails have a lip that stops the module from mounting in the same space too.

This adapter not only changes the hole positions, but also raises the module above the lip on the case horizantal rails."

The Beast x0xb0x in 5U Modular Rack Format

Just in case you missed it, see the update to this post.

The Beast x0xb0x - Including Modular Format

custom milling and engraving by Julian on the SDIY list. Be sure to click on this one for the full size shot.

Update: more images and info here. These will be available. via the AH mailing list:

"This week, I'm releasing both a new format x0xb0x, and a new finish to the desktop unit.

I have recently been making a lot of panels for use in the MOTM and Oakley systems, so a x0xb0x 'module' became an obvious next stage.


These units are built in the 5u format, with a compatible look to the large format modulars.

You can read about it, and see pictures here -

I have also become bored with the cosmetic finish of the desktop units, and felt it was time something was done in this area. Specifically, i feel that the stock 'brushed' and screened aluminium finish marks far too easily, and that printed overlays never quite work out perfectly on a panel as complex as the x0xb0x.

In light of that, I am now producing my own anodised engraved / milled panels for any desktop builds. These are made in glossy black, with sharp silver engraving and milling. Not only do they look exceedingly slick (even if I do say so myself!) but the finish will be way, way, more durable than any other finish I see currently available. These panels are produced on site, where I can keep an eye on the quality, and get a really very fine looking product.

Again, you can see photos on the above link.

Now for the introductory offer -

For a very limited period (5days) I'm offering the MOTM / Oakley format machines with a fairly large reduction (at least £50 GBP) against their normal selling price. The deadline for this offer is midnight (GMT - I'm in England, remember) on Friday. There are more details here -

www.thebeast.co.uk/x0xb0x/x0xb0x_offer.html

Again, the offer is for a limited time period, and the deadline will be strict.

Oh, and for a concluding note -
