Bad Eagle : A semi-modular sequence creation

Published on Mar 27, 2019 Ludwig Kopp

"In this 'Episode the 8 step DIY sequencer returns to make some noise with the Dreabox Erebus:
One man's noise is another man's music!!!

I had no idea what's going to happen when I opened the suitcase this time...

and it's getting a little dramatic as the imaginary BAD EAGLE (not bald eagle) is preying to lift its victim off into the sky.

All sounds are straight out of the box:
sped up occasionnally together with the vid so you don't fall asleep watching the whole process in realtime.

Thanks for watching!"

and finished the track at 7:05 while the sun came up.

Thanks for watching."

Note: I created a new outdoor views for these moving forward. I thought of lumping in the outdoors label but think I'll keep them separate for now. Note there are tons of videos in the archives w/o the label. If you spot any feel free to let me know by either leaving a comment on the post or emailing me, and I will add the label.

Ironing is Fun (k) with a Volca bass analogue synth

Published on Jan 20, 2018 Ludwig Kopp

"We all love ironing. Right?
At least I gave it another try using a Volca bass.
Mostly used the three voices polyphonic
and recorded them into a 'Beatboy' (tuner-recorder-drummachine)
I wanted to use its built-in little Drummaschine.
But I had to record it seperately into a DAW 😨
and "iron-up" with the bass recording.
Still has some frowns here and there.

Thanks for checking this out!"

Never thought of using an ironing board as a stand before...

The Beat Boy appears to have been released in 2013 based on the video below. I don't think one has ever been featured on the site before.

"With many rhythm patterns for you to play along with, Beat Boy is a great way to develop your sense of rhythm. It's also fun to casually jam along with the patterns, or use them to refine your riff ideas. With offerings for every genre of rhythm pattern (8-beat, 16-beat, pop, funk, reggae, dance beats, and more), Beat Boy fully supports a wide range of musical styles. The volume of the backing rhythm can be adjusted, so you can set the mix balance accordingly with your guitar, ensuring that you'll be able to clearly hear the rhythm while you jam. The LCD display shows the drums actually being struck, providing a unique visual element. The tempo of each rhythm can be adjusted intuitively by using the tap tempo feature or it can be specified as a precise numeric value for more accurate settings."

"The Korg Beat Boy enables guitarists or bassists to improve their skills quickly and easily with three practice tools plus a tuner, all in a single unit. In addition to the tuner, Beat Boy contains a rhythm machine covering 100 diverse styles, an effects section for sonic variation when jamming along with the rhythms, plus an onboard recorder that allows for 16-bit/44.1 kHz recording. The compact Beat Boy fits easily into the pocket of a gig bag, for practice both at home or on-the-go."
