When in Rome

YouTube Uploaded by attorks on Sep 8, 2011

"It has been a few months since my last video. I have been very busy with everything but music. Last evening I had a chance to make some music and this is the result. The sequence origins from a short piece of music I made last week on my iPhone with NanoStudio. I thought it was very nice. But trying to recreate it on my hardware setup was somewhat impossible. So I used the sequence and improvised something else on it. At first you hear the Synthesizers.com Modular driven by the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer. The second sequence, performed by the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer, comes from the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which is driving the Blacet Miniwave. The sequence from the Creamware MiniMax ASB is driven by the MIDI output of the Q172 quantizer aid which I got recently and does the same sequence as the Synthesizers.com Modular. A bass line is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1, the Roland XP-80 is emulating an Elka Rhapsody string machine (I used to own one). The brass like sound comes from the Waldorf Q Keyboard.

My friend Anne used my iPhone 4G to video this session; thanks for that. The title refers to a short holiday Anne and I had in Rome a few weeks ago. Rome is a wonderful city full of ancient history, beautiful buildings, fountains and churches. The Italian people are also very friendly and helpful. So definitively worth a visit.

You can download/see/hear the video and music from my website soon."

Clacktronics Analogue Drum Lab

Analogue Drum Lab

"The purpose of these pages are to study and archive different commercial and DIY project drum synthesizers that use analogue circuitry to model drum and percussive sounds. The focus is more on the way the sound is synthesized rather than drum machine control. Rather than just pop up a load of badly scanned schematics and images I hope to analyze and re-draw each design ( or group of similar designs. ) and make mod suggestions and PCB’s."
