Portishead's Adrian Utely Interview

"Part 1 of an afternoon spent at Adrians place rummaging through his gear and talking about the process of making Third"

"I modified my Casio HT-700 minikeyboard. This is the programmable version of the MT-600.

It has two onboard analog filters, one for the main voice and another for the chord voice. I never liked the chord stuff, but the programmable bass voice was quite usable, so I routed that through the chord filter and got rid of the chord channel.

I added CF & res controls for the filters, as well as triangle LFOs, a simple EG for the bass voice, and octave-dropped the bass voice. You can also route the drums through the bass filter, and I added a modification that defeats the annoying AutoPowerOff "feature" of these keyboards.

Since the drums and bass are programmable in two-bar loops, this thing is now a nice little groovebox, over which you can play melodies."

Sequential Circuits Prophet-5: Ross Kelly Fixes His MIDI Fix

YouTube via gearwire. follow-up to this post.
"Ross Kelly and I both look for a quick fix before applying a permanent fix. For example, the light bulb in my room went out, and I can't reach the fixture, so I've just been setting things on fire. Once my pile of ashes is high enough, I can just climb to the top of it and easily switch out the bulb.

Ross, on the other hand, is actually going to show you how he's going to switch out his temporary MIDI fix on his Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 for a permanent solution. See more on Gearwire.com."

"We are all huge fans of your blog and we read it everyday. You can probably tell by listening to our music that we're obsessed with anything synth, and your blog helps that addiction.

We just took some promo pics with a lot of our gear, and I thought maybe your readers might be interested in checking them out and maybe guessing what it is."
