Impro with a Ditto Looper and a MiniMoog by Hyperdust

Published on Apr 17, 2013 hyperdust7·34 videos

"Just bought myself a TC Electronics Ditto Looper Pedal. Playing a little game of messing up the settings on a MiniMoog Old School - no presets - and trying to get a kick snare, bass, chords and melody together in a short track. Mostly worked! I forgot to press play on my audio recorder so you just get the camera audio with the too loud stamping on the looper. Maybe with some practice I'mm be more subtle!"

on The MATRIXYSNTH Lounge. If you like what you hear vote for him to perform at an event here. I usually stay out of these, but Musik4Machine has been a supporter of the site and I haven't posted one of his performances in a while. This one is a good one as it shows you how he develops a track over time. And of course, plenty of synth spotting. Full list below. Active links on YouTube.

Verbos Buchla Format 247v Sequential Voltage Source

via Buchlatech
"I have been working on a new Sequential Voltage Source. It is only a single module space and packs a big punch. It does most of the things a MARF or ARF does, but without any menus. It can act as an 8 stage sequencer with two rows, voltage control of the clock/slide rate, switchable slides/pulses, pulse outs on each channel and the ability to loop from any stage to any stage. It can act as a multi-stage envelope, up to all 8 stages with any stage as a sustain stage or any stage pausing unless a key is held. It can act as ADSR, AHDSR, HADSR, AD, AR, AHD, LFO saw, pulse, square, triangle, something more complex, LFO that only runs when a key is held, LFO that only runs when a key is lifted..."
