Acid take 2 - Roland TB-303, Jomox 999 & Analogue Systems

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"We love the Roland TB-303 (who doesn't?), so we went nuts with some Analogue Systems rs95 oscillators, triggering them with the CV and Gate outputs from the 303. The sound of the 303 is given additional balls by processing it through the Malekko B:Assmaster Germanium pedal...sacrilege. You can hear the TB-303 without extra balls at the very end between 6:12 - 6:18.

Along with the A.S. rs95 oscillators we're also using the rs110 Multimode Filter, the rs120 Comb Filter, and the rs100 Low Pass Filter.

The drums sounds are from the behemoth Jomox XBase 999 and we're using the Kenton Pro Solo MIDI-CV converter to sync the 303. One of the cymbals from the Jomox is running through the A.S. rs310 Reverb/Chorus module, which is being modulated by the rs80 LFO's triangle wave. The rs290 Sample/Delay module is providing the delay for that cymbal as well. All of these sounds are being mixed by the rs165 Signal Mixer."

"This is a video I made to demonstrate the rich and more classic sounds the v-synth can produce. The programs are original. All sounds coming from a Roland V-Synth 2.0 VA-Engine"

Gösta Berlings saga recording Mini Moog

YouTube via RothHandle
"For the first session of 2009 I was very lucky and happy to have swedish prog band Gösta Berlings saga come to the studio to do some overdubs for their second album which is due out in March. The band is a four piece.

During this first day of recording we did a lot of really fun classic prog stuff. Mellotron MK II Brass section, Male choirs and even a moog melody line for good measure. The Moog we used in this clip is the old Abba Mini Moog as used by Benny Andersson. That is why it is painted white. But we also recorded some pastoral Celeste stuff, pump organs as well electric guitar noise walls. Well if you are curious about this band please check out their myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/gostaberlingssaga They are a really solid good band and we had a lot of fun throughout the day.

These little snippets were recorded at the Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. This is where I spend my days recording and producing bands. The studio started 1998 in my apartment with a akai dps-12, an acoustic guitar, a Mellotron and some stomp boxes. Since then it has been steadily growing and the studio is now housing Orchestrons, Optigans, Pipe organs, modular synths, Stylophones et.c et.c The idea of sorts is to blend good songs with unusual sounds so both sound better. If you are curious about the studios or the recordings that are made there please stroll by www.roth-handle.nu or www.myspace.com/Molesome If you have any questions about the studio please dont hesitate to drop me a line.

Take care and have a wonderful 2009.

Furmitt the Krog - Mister Right

"Furmitt the Krog, a lovable green puppet made out of foam rubber and felt sings a song about all of the good girls and what they appear to be looking for in mister right... apparently it is not him.

Nice guys finish last.. but do Krogs even finish at all?

Shot on a Nikon D90 in my home studio with a backdrop of modular synthesizers and various toy keyboards and drum machines."

KORG DVP-1

via this auction

"This early-80's vocoder/harmonizer has a unique set of sounds and features. Most vocoders do only one thing, but the DVP works as a harmonizer, a pitch shifter, or a MIDI synth. The pitch shifter has a huge range and can be controlled by MIDI, so it works like an early pitch correcter. You can sequence the melody of your vocal tracks! The built-in programmable synth has a whole set of vocal and choral sounds that are useful for pads, leads, or weird bass lines with vocal qualities. The vocoder itself is unique because it is permanently chained to the internal synth, unlike other vocoders that allow a separate carrier input. This vocoder requires a MIDI signal to work. I used a keyboard MIDI controller, but the potential for controlling the vocoded signal with other MIDI devices is vast."
