Robert Rich On Mastering The Tools In Electronic Music

Title link takes you to part 1 of an interview with Robert Rich on Gearwire. That's his MOTM modular behind him.

"He uses a number of old keyboards in his work as well including the Yamaha DX7 IID, Korg Wave Station and the Ensoniq ASR10 Sampler. Rich also uses the TimewArp 2600 by WayOutWare.

There is one piece of gear Rich uses a good deal; Synthesis Technology MOTM, a hybrid system with Midi to CV conversion.

'Its become my signature. It is a but of a luxury I enjoy it I grew up building modular synthesizers from kits so that is my language,” says Rich. “Only in the past 5 to 8 years that there has been a resurgence of analog synths-and a backlash against plug-ins. The experience of interacting with machines...there is something sensual about hardware. It touches the skin.'"

I never knew it came with a wave card. The K3m is capable of rudimentary additive synthesis. You can add harmonics to build up a sound.

Update: The seller, Robert, sent me a hi-res scan of the card. You can find it here.

Metasonix Tube Theremin?

No, not really, or at least not yet. So I'm desperately trying to catch up for the day and I stumble upon this post on Muff Wiggler. It's a list of ideas for Metasonix to do next. First on the list? A Tube Theremin. Just the image of what that might sound and look like (think about it) sent me running. Good one Muff. : ) Title link takes you to the post.
