AudioWeevil07 Prototype Demo

YouTube via BugBrand.

"Here's the 1st demo of the new AudioWeevil. This demo is just using the internal speaker, so the sounds are quite gnarly! Also, the soon-to-be-released version will have a few more features in there (mainly adding to the modulation LFO).

The demo begins with no-input Weevil-ing & touchyness and then moves on to plugging a Hohner Pianet through the box for filtering and noisy ringmod action.

Visit www.bugbrand.co.uk for further details of the AudioWeevil - there's diagrams and such-stuff..."

"The Korg DW8000 is the bigger brother to the DW6000.... It was released a year or so before the M1. Have analog synthesis sections... with very nice filters... this DW8000 model doubles the waveforms of the DW6000 to give you 16, doubled at 2 per voice to give 8 note poly of 2 osc' voices........ but..... Like the 106, you can do a Unison mode to stack the 16 oscillators !... The 8000 also has excellent Korg analog filters... they go to self-resonance for squeel-appeal. The 8000 even has an onboard arpeggiator which can clock to midi, and is velocity & aftertouch sensitive.... Other features include Midi In, Out and Thru; cassette interface; stereo outs; foot switch control for patch changing, portamento and sustain; 64 memories; aftertouch keyboard; arpeggiator and ... yup !!....a built-in digital delay unit."
