"I share with it a small portion of myself with each session. This one has been with me for a long time, and has been tickled into singing beautiful harmonies whilst balancing a cocktail glass. I pity the youth who, rather than express themselves, are content with "beatz". Not only do I pity them, but I find them disgraceful."

Oli Rubow @ Uwe Schenk trifft... 2/2


"via e-beats.net:

Oli Rubow is probably the most famous drummer in electronic music in Germany.
In this YouTube video he presents his idea of an organic electronic live act,
a combination of live drums and real time audio deconstruction with vocoder, delay, reverb shots & filter plus some acid from a tb-303 clone...

Used electronics:
Snare drum is routed through a Line 6 DL-4 Delay + EHX Vocoder and a big reverb.
A Roland kick trigger goes into a Jomox Mbase followed by a Boss Space Echo and the Oto Biscuit.
A decent 16tel pulse comes from: Acidlab Bassline 2, Abelton Live controlled by a Launchpad.

VINTAGE SYNTH

via this auction

Listed as a Vintage Synth. I usually use the titles in the auctions for fun. Anyone know more about this one? Looks like it has a Sine and Ramp or Sawtooth switch. Perc knob might act like an envelope or add a percussive element to the sound?
