WNAMM08: Rapturous Minimoog Sounds

Be sure to check out the write-up on Sonic State.

Admin: Quick Note on Videos

Apologies for all the videos going up, but as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. I'm noticing that some YouTube vids are playing choppy on my system. No doubt due to the increased number I'm putting up due to NAMM. However, if I click on the title link of a post the video will play fine in the resulting page as it no longer has to compete for resources. I thought I'd throw this tip out for anyone that might be seeing the same. So... If a video is slow, click on the title of the post and watch it in the resulting page.

The Harvestman Polivoks Filter Demo

This one via Adam.



"It's a great filter with a ton of character and grit. For me, the real test of a great filter is how it performs as an FM carrier (assuming it can self-oscillate). Many filters do a good job here, but the Polivoks really takes the cake... it even beats out my rev 2 prophet 5."

Anchorsong - Devils Clap

YouTube via yohage.
"Anchorsong is the solo project by Masaaki Yoshida from Tokyo, Japan.

He creates music with sampler (AKAI MPC2000XL) and keyboard(KORG Triton) right in front of the audience.
In other words, he re-creates the process of composing on stage. Some people say, "It's like watching a painter drawing on a white canvas."

His 1st EP "The Storytelling EP" was released as a double disc (CD & LIVE DVD) in Japan on 16/05/2007.

After making his career for 3 years in Tokyo, he has moved to London. He's been playing at many live venues and night clubs."

Cyber Psychic vs. Pigtronix Echolution

YouTube via Analogger
"The Csyber Psychic is a strange pedal that contains an analog lowpass filter with a pre-amp along with two oscillators that modulate the filter, input audio, and each other in bizarre ways. One of the basic ways to use it is with a guitar...but the Cyber Psychic is also capable of making insane noises by itself. I fed the Cyber Psychic into a Pigtronix Echolution which is a magnificent analog delay. It has a series of tap switches that can divide the echo into different rhythmic permutations. It is the best sounding analog delay I've ever heard. I was intending to put something up on YouTube with my guitar thru the Echolution but I got distracted when I plugged the Cyber Psychic into it. I had my little Marshall set up and miked, but once I started droning I set the guitar aside for another day. This is all recorded with my 30 watt Marshall on the clean setting using a Shure SM-57."
