Tapewarm Studio

I asked daddio if he had a link he wanted me to put up for this post on his modded Sequential Circuits Six-Trak. He sent me a link to his Tapewarm Studio. Nice. It's a pretty cool site with tons of groovy shots and music. Well worth checking out. Title link takes you there.

(P.S. I also noticed I had Tapewarm listed on this studio p*rn fest post, but I haven't gotten around to checking all of them out yet. Glad I ran into this again.)

Thanks daddio! Hmm... never thought I'd say that.. I'm old, but not 1950's old. ; )

ARP 2500 Sample, Upgrades and Service on C.M.S.

Title link takes you to Phil Cirocco's C.M.S ARP 2500 page with samples and a list of upgrades.

Oakley Sound TB3031



I previously posted about the Oakley Sound TB3030. I just ran into the TB3031. It's a heavily revised version of the TB3030 including discrete divider and waveshaper allowing more musical sub basses according to the site. The overdrive circuitry allows level changes w/o affecting overall volume and the unit supports filter FM, a sub octave generator, VCA decay control, accented decay control, velocity CV and more. Title link takes you there. Samples on site.

Daddio's Six-Trak



Look closely, that's a separate Fatar keyboard controller. Via daddio of Tapewarm Studio.

Phoscyon

Another Roland TB-303 VSTi. Title link takes you to the site with samples. Via Digital Music Mag.



"Phoscyon is great Acid-Line synthesizer (particularly untypical low pass filters with 18db/oct dumping and constant resonance amplitude in the whole frequency domain). We equipped it with arpeggiator - irreplaceable in electronic music and integrated, perfectly fitted distortion effect, which without Acid music practicaly doesn't exist."
