"Another tryout of new equipment... this is mainly Make Noise modules (Maths/QMMG/Wogglebug) modulating a few A-110´s and a Piston Honda, also got some sequencing going on... won´t go into more details, this patch got all too complex after a while.
As usual, the quality is crap, but I will try to do some more serious documetation as soon as I get my head around all the new stuff in the studio."

What keyboard is this?

Drum Machine through the Phantastron!

YouTube via sheepslinky. via Zerosum Intertia where you'll find more vids.
"A LinnDrum drum machine is fed directly into the Phantastron Synth from www.electricwestern.com (cv control grids).

The "dry" and Phantasturized sound is mixed on a mixer.

Another Phantastron is played with the Electric Western ribbon controller. The ribbon sends a gate to a VCA which makes the second phantastron sound only when the ribbon is touched. So, the ribbon is touch sensitive -- very sensitive.

Visit www.electricwestern.com for your own phantastron and / or controller!!"

"And here it comes - the latest collab with my old friend "Feiner Stoff". Was about time for a new track ;) This one was done with the Akai APC40, Ableton Live 8, Novation Launchpad and Native Instruments Machine. The Acid Bassline is done with Phoscyon from D16. Cheers"
