"A quick view of the Bass Station capabilities. I tried to capture its analog side and I think the machine can do it well :) No EQ, compression or external FX.

Enjoy!

Published on Jan 7, 2014 VolcaRock·9 videos

"KORG VOLCA Series on a late night SPACE DUB LIVE SESSION with some ambient guitar live loops &other Synths: Roland Juno 60, Jomox Xbase 09, Doepfer MS-404, Waldorf Microwave I.
I have carefully described in the video (filmed with 3 cams), which Synths are playing and muted at the moment. So you don't have to guess the different sounds.

At the end of the session I used Waldorf Puls I and Nord Modular, too. Yamaha RM1x is just used as a simple Sequencer (no use of internal sounds). Recorded without overdubs and mastering in just one take.

KORG VOLCA SET UP:
Volca Keys signal left channel into MFB-Filterbox and right channel straight into the Submixer, with heavy use of Delay
Volca Bass straight into the sub mixer
Volca Beats straight into the sub mixer

From all of that circumstances and based upon thought on the advantages and disadvantages of analog synthesizer, finally the idea of Storn MAGA formed.

Storn MAGA itself is Analog Modular Synthesizer, which is there are analog and digital technology processes, or called hybrid, the outcome and process in Storn MAGA is pure analog, with features given include things like Voltage Controlled Oscillator, Voltage Controlled Filter, Voltage Controlled Amplifier, Low Frequency Oscillator, Attack Decay Envelope, ADSR Envelope and Noise.

Richard Devine Interview & Gear Pics on I♥SYNTHS

via Richard Devine

"My interview and new studio tour with iheartsynths just went up today.
Some really nice pics there.

"I♥SYNTHS: When did you get into electronic music? Was it a certain musician or piece of gear that got you interested?

Richard Devine: I started getting into electronic music back in high school. I was a DJ at local clubs and raves back in the early 90′s, and became fascinated with making music after hearing a Aphex Twin remix of “Mind stream” EP from Meat Beat Manifesto. At age 17 I started to build up my studio, which around that time was mostly early analog drum machines and synths. I would go to the local pawn shops here in Atlanta every weekend to see what I could find. It was a great time to buy this stuff as it was at a point when no one wanted early analog gear. My first proper synthesizer was the Arp-2600. This was a completely life changing moment for me. I was completely blown away by the semi modular format of the synth. You could also use it to process other sounds via filtering, ring modulation, and spring reverb. I still to this day have and still use the 2600 for my day-to-day projects. It taught me the basic fundamentals of building and shaping a sound from pure synthesis."
