Tenori On sequencing Nord Modular G2 v01

YouTube via polishbroadcast
"Tenori-On sequencing a Nord Modular G2 with a sooper sloppy drum improv. The Nord Modular G2 is making all of the sounds.

The drums on the G2 are from Roland Kuit's awesome patch which i got on electro-music.com.

Excuse the quality. This was recorded with my Macbook Pro's iSight and audio input so the video quality is bad and there is a buzz in the audio. Beyond the buzz, the audio sounds pretty ok."

Tenori On sequencing Access Virus TI Snow v02

"Using some delays and arpeggios in the Virus really helps to get away from the strict grid. Unfortunately, muting sounds isn't all that easy with the layer volume on the Tenori On if you have tails of notes that are ringing out at the end of a measure. All sounds are from the Virus Snow."

moon cycle delay pedal

YouTube via spunkytoofers

"akai ewi and ewi3000m analog synth improvised freely into circuit bent delay pedal.

the moon cycle delay pedal is a new design by spunkytoofers for hands free control of a circuit bent boss ps 2 delay pedal.

the boss ps-2 is a dual board pitch shifter/delay pedal. the unit is demonstrated in the one of the delay settings. with the moon cycle stomp switch you can capture 2 second loops, or faster loops to stutter, all the way into self oscillation with help from the foot pedal. in the delay setting you can create some tonal variation as well as adding some synthesizer variants to the delay loop. stomps can be selected to have pattern slicers, circuit bends, and rhythmic sound variation.

the pitch shifter modes creates a synthesizer tone in which the synthesizer can be circuit bent in sound as well as sustained by the moon cycle switch. this allows the user to duet with the synthesizer generated by the pedal as well as isolated the synthesizer to have a fully pitch controllable circuit bent synthesizer."

filter input volume - (for direct inputs)
mix - filter / original
output volume

------ switches:

record / off / play - sampler
momentary play
LFO shape - sqr / tri
crash - heavy distortion glitch bend
