Quick update via Microscopics: "We're going to delay the official release of the CD until July 14th because of time restraints, but the free Minimoog offer will still end on Sunday night. But if your readers enter the code 'MatrixSynth in the 'Add special instructions for the Merchant' field in PayPal, we'll extend the offer until July 14th."

The Echolution is a powerful dual delay pedal with modulated delay on one side and tap-tempo on the other. This demo is of just the modulation side. The multitap switches divide your delay time to the value marked (1/2, 1/3, PHI). There is a great loop function that would be great for sampling or general freakouts. It has reverse delay too! Near the end of the video we capture a loop, change it's speed then change the multitap switches. You can hear some pretty cool delay harmonies ring out. Wooh! http://www.bigcitymusic.com http://www.myspace.com/bigcitymusicdo... http://www.bigcitymusicblog.blogspot.com"
Neat little drum Machine with a warm tone. The toms sound great. Kick could use a little more depth, snare could use more snap... but the still sound neat, obviously. You could always do the Plutonique9 Mod and add a quick pitch ENV to the kick and a faster attack to the snare. I hear it sounds great! I had been intending to do the mod, but am instead selling the machine and switching to vintage samplers. Thought I would make a quick little video to help sell it, so here it is!
The KPR is a cool machine, but is mostly overshadowed by the Roland stuff, particularly the 606. The 606 does sound cool, but I think the KPR has much better toms. I personally think that the Boss DR-110 sounds better than both of these, but it lacks toms, and that's a bummer being that I love the analog tom sound. The KPR does sound very unique, sounds amazing with a little TLC in the EQ and Effects department and will definitely add a unique sound to your setup. Try dropping some of the Lower Mids a bit and boosting the Low. Delay is always great, and of course something to grunge it up is awesome too.
In the spirit of analog gear, I recorded all the audio of this video to my Tascam MSR-16 Reel-To-Reel through my analog Ramsa board, with absolutely no EQ or effects of any kind. What you hear is exactly what the KPR is!
You can hear my dogs in the background, cute huh!"

In this Video, I wanted to show a more provokitive style of music so musicians can have a different perspective instead of Trace or Techno stuff. A beatles tune was just right. Hope you enjoy it!"
"People have been writing me asking to hear more material, so I decided to upload this demo version of Colored Glasses, a song I plan to release on CD in the fall of 2008. The synth tracks were recorded on a Roland Jupiter-4, and the bass track was deliciously played by my friend and former classmate Ken Rich (thanks, Ken!). Many apologies for the boring video. Unfortunately, I'm so busy writing songs for Maison Vague's debut CD that I have very little time for making videos. Sorry.

Colored Glasses
Wearing your rose colored glasses
You can see more clearly now
See the clouds that hang so heavy on your head
Turn a lovely shade of red
Disappearing
I've got colored glasses, too
