Synthi Bindi on YouTube

YouTube by maxtundra. Sent my way via Brian Comnes.

Via Brian Comnes: "Here's a link to some tracks I made with daddio, a fan of yours, a synth buddy of mine and sometimes AH contributor...you even did 3 posts on him (aka tapewarm) . Anyway he lives about an hour up the road from me and we try to get together every 5 or 6 weeks and do something. Last night we got 2 tracks in 81506a and b. These are one take affairs, mistakes and all, with only a little EQ post recording. Last night I was using Live's Operator and Big Tick Angelina soft synths with my MIDI guitar, drums courtesy of Microtonic and Gene was peppering it up with a Kaoss Pad and Nord Rack 2.

The other 2 tracks (Daddio1A and 4) were from May and were our first collaboration we recorded - somewhere in there is an OB1, UltraProteus , Kaoss pad and miscellanea, again both are one takes.

I am definitely not looking for a post here.....I mean you do have standards....I just thought I'd grant your wish to hear something.... maybe next time Gene and I will snap some photos .... ..and be warned these are nothing like Stefan Trippler puts out, just a couple of old synth guys making up something on the spot.

Peace Brian

PS the handle sonomarinos is because I live in Marin County and Gene lives in Sonoma County"

Don't sell yourself short Brian. I like it. : ) BTW, I think you just made a bit of Matrixsynth history with the smallest image in a post ever, unless of course, you count my favicon post.

Mark Demos His JOMOX XBase09SE on YouTube

Mark gave me the ok to post this video. It was originally on rapidshare which I can't stand, so I asked him if I could put it up elsewhere. I went with YouTube so I can embed it in this post and so others out there can check it out.

via Mark:
"I was wondering what any of you all thought of this drum machine. I just got one and I like it a lot, particularly the highly editable sequencer (you can store different sounds for each step in a pattern). Not really too concerned about the comparisons to old x0x drum synths, more if anyone else has used this and your +'s and -'s. For me, so far, so cool. I also made a small demo quicktime of me using it, where I just play stock sounds and patterns and screw around with the parameters... Seemed like there isn't too much demo stuff out there for this box, so I might start putting more videos up."

Definitely welcome here. Thanks Mark!
