All Day (Soho Mix) - Akai s900 Track

Download the track here.
"What's a boy suppose to do with a sampler from 1986? Sample pornography, films, doors slamming, and cover Ministry, of course. All sounds courtesy of a slightly malfunctioning Akai S900. Original version is by Ministry off of their 1986 album "Twitch". The only samples grabbed from that version are the intro military shouts. Everything else is home cooking. The +1 step retuning was intentional."

Flame "Tame Machine" Quantizer+Beat-Looper

YouTube via flameampere

"The Flame "Tame Machine" euro rack modul

QUANTIZER SECTION
The module is a combination of quantizer and beat looper. A quantizer converts a continous control voltage (on CV-input) in the range of 0...+5V into a stepped output voltage in the same voltage range. The scale assign the possible voltage states. The quantizer can be triggered per external trigger input or per link of the pulse from the beat section.
The module has 5 banks with each 7 patches for scales: Bank 1-4 with 28 fixed preset scales and bank 5 with 7 patches for individual user scales. The keynote transposes the actually scale.
Keynote and scale can be set by external CV inputs (keynote, scale) or manually per keyboard buttons.
The playing of keynotes is recordable over max. 4 measures.
The keyboard buttons can be used like a mini keyboard (jack keygate=gate out, jack CV out=notes, octave setting with CV-2 ruler) .
The CV inputs and outputs has the moog characteristic (1V/oct.).

BEAT SECTION
The second section can create individual beat patterns and can record over max. 4 measures. The GATE ruler assigns the gate length of the beat output pulse (off, gate, hold) and the BEAT ruler assigns the rythm of the beat output pulse.
Also the beat section generates the CV-2 output with following settings:
- variable voltage between 0..+5 Volt
- Random between +1..+2 Volt
- LFO down or up 0..+5 Volt (fixed time interval over 1 measure).

The Tap-Tempo generates the internal tempo (two times 4th-tap) or per permanently external 16th clock.
A Reset input/push button sets the beat on measure 1 and sets also the reset output. The module generates automaticly a reset pulse on measure 1 (pulse lenght=16th).

Software updates possible via usb (jack on pcb)"
