"One of the most highly respected acts in techno and industrial, Orphx, stopped by our studio on their last European tour. They are able to combine modular synthesizers, hardware and software live creating intense atmospheres and heavy rhythms. In the KOMA Studio, Rich Oddie and Christina Sealey tried out some of our equipment, including the Komplex Sequencer, jamming on some dark and hypnotic techno."

Tom Oberheim Interviewed by Sweetwater Sound

Published on Jun 29, 2015 SweetwaterSound

"Mitch Gallagher sits down with synthesizer legend Tom Oberheim for a special interview at Sweetwater's GearFest 2015. A pioneer of the synth and MIDI world, Tom Oberheim co-designed the Synthesizer Expansion Module (SEM), a device that allowed musicians to simultaneously combine live playing and sequenced playback - a concept that pre-dated the MIDI revolution. In 1981, he, along with Roland's Ikutaro Kakehashi and Sequential's Dave Smith, developed the MIDI spec, which changed the course of modern music. Tom recently re-released his famed Two Voice synth."

Dave Smith Interviewed by Sweetwater

Published on Jun 22, 2015 SweetwaterSound

"Mitch Gallagher sits down with synth pioneer Dave Smith here at Sweetwater Sound. Dave was visiting Sweetwater for GearFest '15, featuring a special panel discussion between Dave Smith, Roger Linn, and Tom Oberheim.

Legendary synth designer and Grammy-winner Dave Smith was the founder of Sequential Circuits in the mid-'70s. His Prophet-5, the world's first fully programmable polyphonic synth, was the first musical instrument with an embedded microprocessor. Dave is also known as the driving force behind the development of the MIDI specification. He has continued to innovate, and recently unveiled his latest synth creation, the Sequential Prophet-6."

The first soft synth ever, Seer Systems Reality, gets a mention.

Roger Linn Interviewed by Sweetwater

Published on Jul 10, 2015 SweetwaterSound

"At GearFest '15, synthesizer pioneer Roger Linn sat down with Mitch Gallagher to talk music and electronic instruments. Technical Grammy award-winner Roger Linn invented the LM-1 Drum Computer (the first sample-based drum machine) in 1979. He later designed the Akai MPC60, which combined a sampling drum machine with a real-time MIDI sequencer. His guitar effects unit, AdrenaLinn, has been used on hit recordings by John Mayer and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 2014 he released the LinnStrument, an expressive MIDI performance controller.

Sound Diary #1 - ADE-32

Published on Jun 16, 2015 DivKidMusic

"I thought about starting a soundcloud for odd bits of audio but it seemed daft to move anything from building up this channel as it continues to grow so hence the new series "Sound Diary". This will be odd bits of audio from studio sessions, testing new modules (I won't be spilling the beans on what new modules are but you'll get hear some things and speculate!), new composition and production projects and whatever else really.

To kick the new series off here's the first video which was a patch that came up from the prototype ADE-32 Octocontroller from Abstract Data. To be blunt ... IT'S WICKED! First off pulses, gates, rhythmic loops, random CV, clocked LFOs, divisions and multiplication of clocks and all it's feature can be taken off the grid and un-synced as well should you wish. You really can control a whole system with it (watch out for a video doing just that in the near future).

Big thanks to Justin from Abstract Data for letting sending me the prototype to play around with, test and get familiar with before the full overview video in my usual comes around the time of release.

The sound source here is a new module prototype and it's going through the Synthrotek DLY. The ADE-32 is clocking a sequencer, sending modulation to the new prototype and the DLY as well as firing out random clocked gates.
