"A bit of a 'drone jam' with OP-1 as a midi controller to play the Korg Volca Bass. Samplr App on iPad for the glitched beat and strings. Bastl Instruments MicroGranny 2.1 to play sample.

(Sorry for my head getting in the way at some points - oops!)

Reverb/Delay from Zoom pedal, Korg Mini Kaoss Pa providing the effects on the Volca."

1970's Polymoog 280A and Dynacord DRS-78 reverb

Published on Sep 19, 2014 SPFXsynthesisers

"Random doodling on a 280a connected to a Dynacord digital reverb system and connected to camera audio input (hence grainy audio quality).
Just going through the presets and controls and playing random stuff to demo the sounds.
Dynacord Reverb is a bit noisy/hissy."
