Alchemical by MSTRBLSTR
Also on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/68lqZLDB2ip4ZOfEg4SsmB?si=m3ba1VD-SSO_CLr4j7OIMg
"The electricity of live manipulation breathes through every sequence as MSTRBLSTR transmutes the raw essence of the TR-606, MC-202, and TB-303 into a sonic incantation. Alchemical is transformation in motion: analog breakbeats pulse with crackling percussion, acid squelches growl and evolve, and rhythms dissolve and reassemble like matter through fire. The bassline becomes the bedrock of energy, conjured live in real time.
Credits
Released May 29, 2025
Programmed, performed, mixed, and mastered by MSTRBLSTR at Ill Acid
Additional drum programming: Severed Machines (https://severedmachines.com)
Hardware:
Modified Roland TR-606 (Robin Whittle mods)
Din Sync RE-303
MC-202 w/ Tubbutec 2oh2 mod
Mixers: Boss BX-8, Alice 1228, Boss KM-4
FX: Tapco 4400 spring reverb, TC Nova Reverb & Delay, Korg SDD-1000/1200
Compression: BSS DPR-402, DOD SR-866
DAW: Ableton Live
This is the same setup I used on From Deep.
Backstory
I brought my TR-606 to Ramiro at Severed Machines to install a few long-desired mods: switch replacements, a louder BD via resistor change, and Robin Whittle’s Accent Trigger and post-volume individual outs. He left in a few patterns, including a breakbeat variation that really hit me. That inspired the synth parts. Next thing I knew, I was performing and recording the full track.
Recording Notes
I treat mixers as modular routers. For Alchemical, the Alice mixer’s direct outs went straight into my interface, while the Boss BX-8 worked as a submixer for overdrive and tone shaping. I panned certain tracks hard L/R into separate buses, then re-centered them on different mixer channels. I have owned many delays while the Korg units are among my favorites, the TC Nova is often a go-to for synths: it sounds great, has nice filters, tap tempo, and my favorite feature, easily accessible time divisions Protip: a buffered pedal in front helps them sound better. The Nova reverb is also very playable and has a dynamic ducking mode that helps it get out of the way, if that's what I need.
In post, I swapped the TR-606 kick for a TR-808 sample in Ableton - it just gave the track the weight it needed. There’s also a lone TR-808 clap halfway through. Other than that, what you hear is live with only some minor edits and additional processing.
__________________________________________________________________
For TR-606 lovers: I highly recommend Robin Whittle’s mods: https://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/tr-606/
The Accent Trigger mod alone is worth it - it adds great performance potential. Robin credited the fix to me, but Ramiro deserves most of the credit. Robin's individual outs (post-volume pot) offer superior performance control and gain staging flexibility compared to the more common pre-pot version."

EML ElectroComp 101 – Vintage Duophonic Semi-Modular Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this Reverb listing, also on eBay
"A rare and revered classic, the ElectroComp 101 was Electronic Music Laboratories’ evolution of the original ElectroComp 100—crafted by the Connecticut-based company known for its educational and experimental instruments. Released as a flexible alternative to the ARP 2600 and Minimoog, the EML-101 brought serious innovation to semi-modular design.
Unlike its contemporaries, the 101 featured four voltage-controlled oscillators—two of which operate sub-sonically for LFO duties—with morphable waveforms accessible via rotary selectors. It’s duophonic, allowing up to two-note polyphony, and provides a unique modulation architecture where control voltage and audio signals are treated interchangeably, offering highly creative patching possibilities.
A 12dB/oct multimode filter (low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass) with resonance adds tonal versatility, and the onboard ring/amplitude modulation, sample-and-hold (“Sampler”), and dual envelope generators give the 101 deep sound-shaping power. Thanks to its use of op-amps instead of temperature-sensitive transistors, the 101 also boasts impressive tuning stability compared to Moog or ARP synths of the era.
Designed with portability in mind, the unit folds neatly into its own wooden case, making it ideal for studio or stage use.
Originally marketed to universities and educational institutions, the EML-101’s modular flexibility, rich analog tone, and rock-solid build quickly caught the attention of professional musicians and sound designers, cementing its place as one of the most powerful portable synthesizers of the 1970s.
Features:
Polyphony: Duophonic
Oscillators: 4 VCOs (2 with sub-audio range; variable waveforms + noise)
Filter: Multimode 12dB/oct filter (low-pass, band-pass, high-pass) with resonance
Envelopes: 2 ADS generators
Effects: Ring/Amplitude Modulator, Sample-and-Hold
Modulation: Any CV or audio signal can be patched freely
Keyboard: 44-note
Control: CV/Gate compatible
A previously used item that shows signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended—a vintage gem ready to inspire."

125 Stereo Effects
Want a specralized micro-looping effect with randomized repeats? A time-shifting chorus into a reverb that slowly gets darker over time or simply a traditional modulation, delay, and Reverb chain? With over 120 effects to assign to the four tracks, MESS opens the door to the unexpected.
Why Sequence?
MESS has the sequencer power expected from a Polyend instrument. Control per-track speed and length to create polyrhythmic or polymetric sequences or use chance options to easily create complex generative effects that never sound the same twice. Instantly add movement and musicality to any effect. Reverbs bloom, delays evolve rhythmically, and modulations shift in sync with your tempo.
