"Up for sale is the great Synth/Sequencer combo - Future Retro Revolution. This is a Roland TB-303 inspired module which plays exactly like TB, but has additional features like MIDI, Overdrive Section and Effects. It can also "improvise", so new patters are just a knob away."

Quantimator Chordal Improvisation

YouTube Uploaded by skrapadelix on Jan 10, 2012

"The Toppobrillo Quantimator allows a selection of different chord shapes of up to 3 notes to be selected. It works extremely well with Make Noise Pressure Points in that each pad's associated tuned voltages can select both a chord type and a pitch. The 3 quantised pitches are, in this patch, sent to a Doepfer A-110, a TipTop Z3000 Mk II and a Livewire AFG.

The kick sound is the Flame Talking Synth, the 'snare' just NoiseRing noise into a Wasp filter and the bass is from the CycleBox Mk II. Some delay from an old Yamaha analogue echo box is added to the mix..."

Introducing the otherworldly tones of the Make Noise Phonegene and freinds

YouTube Uploaded by skrapadelix on Oct 26, 2011

"I'll probably never afford a Buchla 200e... but on the plus side I can scrape together enough dough for a ton of Make Noise and some other cool modules.

This was the night my Phonogene and Rene arrived - I slapped them in my Goike case and started patching away as usual without a clue as to what I was doing - ended up with this evolving patch that sounds like some 60's sic-fi kitsch played by green-skinned alien chicks in a silver bikinis and tinfoil wigs... insane!"

Eurorack Live Salutes Basic Channel - and the Flame Talking Synth

YouTube Uploaded by skrapadelix on Aug 1, 2011

"This was tonight's attempt at a Basic Channel style dub loop.
Believe it or not the bass is just the Flame Talking Synth into an A-105. The metallic offbeat hat sound is the Gamma Wave Source into the ModDemix, kick is the DB99, and the stabs are the Z3000 into the A-113, plus the A-112 into the Sound of Shadows delay. Reverb from the Z5000.
As usual everything is totally live with no additional editing at all - I like the challenge of keeping in real-time and working with a limited set of modules. Eurorack really rocks my world"

Machines Have Souls: Eurorack Goes Minimal

YouTube Uploaded by skrapadelix on Jul 28, 2011

"This Eurorack modular was designed as a homage to Buchla with West Coast experimental weirdness firmly in mind - but something tells me it has other ideas...
Everything you see and hear happened in real-time with no external effects or editing... apologies for the shitty video but you just don't get these crazy moments in Reason, Live - or any software package I've used for that matter.

Just for the record and before I forget it all, sequencing is from the trusty A-155, Brains + PP and a 160/161 combo. The noises at the beginning are the WMD Gamma Wave Source,ModDemix,Sound of Shadows - Wasp Filter with me tweaking the SoS delay time/feedback and the Wasp cutoff. The kick is the Analogue Solutions BD99, the bass is the AFG-Borg 1, the strange pad is a Z3000-A-113-SEM filter + A-121 in parallel configuration. There's a Flame Talking Synth making some crazy background noises... and lastly some reverb from the Z5000.

Anyway, please send me your modular videos, soundcloud etc! Cheers"

Doepfer A-113 Subharmonic Generator

via the listing: "It also makes a very versatile clock divider if you feed it a clock signal instead of a square wave. You can get some crazy odd divisions allowing complex polyrhythms to be created easily.

You can hear my A-113 in the following video at the 1:21 mark - I love that sound and am going to miss it:"

Eurorack Live Jam starring the Doepfer A-113
YouTube Uploaded by skrapadelix on Jul 5, 2011

"A live improvisation featuring the Doepfer Subharmonic generator noodling over an AFG and a WMD Gamma Wave Source. Drums are the DB99 and A-117, sequencing from the A-155. The lead melody is a simple sawtooth waveform which feeds the A-113 set to produce 4 sub harmonies - it also drives the transpose function on the A-156. The A-113 effect is subtle but mysterious... I could listen to it all night - and probably will.
Another highly underrated module from our dear friend Dieter Doepfer. Oh yeah, it also makes a fantastic clock divider as well (thanks Goikes for that suggestion)"
