Vermona DRM1 MKIII "Tuned Kit"

Published on Apr 11, 2013 Jesse Juup·39 videos

"I was playing around in the studio, hooked up the Vermona into an old "guitar pedal" CMP-5 Compressor (vintage, was available under several brands), then tuned the DRM1 into a funky ringing tune and just recorded it to store the "preset" as a video. Perhaps some other DRM1 users will want pause the video and see if they can get theirs in the same kind of a tuned kit stage? Just use a compressor to pass some snappy attack and smash the rest pretty flat. The added noise just added character (using the headphones out, the main outs in the back are more quiet) and the cheap compressor added some roughness and ambient noise too."

Game Boy + VL-Tone + Modular

Game Boy + VL-Tone + Modular from Icebreaker Audio on Vimeo.

A mid-mourning experiment, connecting a Nintendo Game Boy (running Nanoloop) and a Casio VL-Tone to an analogue modular system. Digital+Analogue Joy.

The recording is 100% live, with some basic mastering.

Playing around to get some ideas for the Save Icebreaker Audio Campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/save-icebreaker-audio

Full technical spec:
Recorded and Mastered in Sonar via Audio Kontrol 1
Game Boy bought at Berlin flea market running Nanoloop
Game Boy stereo signal split and routed into Diode Filter+Waveshaper, and a Spring Reverb.
Casio VL-Tone mixed into the VCA, VCF, and external input of the A-111-5 (Dark Energy Module)
