Dr Blankenstein (Drew Blanke) builds his Atari Punk Consoles (3 Year Anniversary Video!)

I can not tell you how excited I am to finally put this video up, or should I say... A video like this (a fast motion build video). I am equally excited that today (meaning 12/13/2015 at the time of this video) is the 3RD YEAR ANNIVERSARY of my version of the ATARI PUNK CONSOLE! Here is the original video if you haven't seen it: https://youtu.be/v-VsaC33edU Since uploading that video I have sold HUNDREDS of units to countless talented musicians and art collectors from all over the globe. This video is a kinda thank to all those people, giving you a FAST GLIMPSE of all the work that went into your little video game sounding drone synth. When people say "hand made synth"... they usually don't get much more hand made than what you see here. I am excited to share that experience with all of you. I really do hope you enjoy.

So how the video goes is... I was building a batch of 6 APC 2600's when a ton of holiday order rolled in at once. So, I needed to start to finish a few of them off one by one. So, I only really finish ONE Atari Punk Console... BUT, you are really watching me prepare a batch of six of them. Sorry about all the weird lighting and camera angles, I still haven't gotten the perfect camera for these sorts of shoots and my space is limited for lighting and tripods... so it is what it is. :)

I obviously was shooting for a video in the style of the great TIM SWAY: https://www.youtube.com/user/timsway or say the amazing Jimmy Diresta: https://www.youtube.com/user/jimmydir... (sorry for goofing on your name btw, I was totally just playing dumb:).

Well I guess that's it for now... here's to another year of making crazy sounds together. Thanks for all who have grabbed an APC 2600 from me over the years, and for those of you who haven't... well... I hope to speak to you soon. Be well, have a happy and healthy holiday season.

If you enjoyed this video... please pass it on. If you want to see more like it... please SUBSCRIBE NOW :) Thanks again!

Dreadbox modular jam


Published on Dec 13, 2015 Dreadbox

"This is a synth jam, shot at our workshop with two G-systems.
The left one performs the drum sounds via an arturia beatstep pro, while the right one performs all the synth sounds-controlled by a standard midi keyboard and later,on by a guitar."

JoMoX AirBase 99 Analog Drum Machine Synth Rack SN 0210 - 1702

"The AirBase 99 is based on the XBase 09, but is much better. It has many of the same great TR-909 sounds and much more but comes in a 1-unit rack-mount MIDI module rather than a table-top drum sequencer like the latter. Its front panel is extremely bare, with just 2 knobs and a few buttons and LEDs. The AirBase is designed for use as a Drum Tone Module with your sequencer. Programming is easiest through MIDI control of the parameters. Otherwise, prepare to page through data screens on the small 2-line LCD display.

The AirBase features the same sounds and parameters as the XBase 09 and adds increased polyphony (9 voices) and Tom Toms. The AirBase emulates 808, 909 and CR-78 style sounds with excellent quality. Kick, Snare and Toms are analog and feature various tune and envelope controls. Hats, cymbals, clap and rimshot are samples but can still be tuned and reversed! For emulated 808 and 909 drum machine sounds, the Airbase 99 is great! It costs half as much as getting all of the real drum machines.

The AirBase 99 does not feature lots of hands-on knobs like the Novation Drum Station. But some cool features include both high and low pass resonant filters and a band pass filter to apply to the hi-hats! There's more parameters to edit per each Drum Tone than the Drum Station or any of the original beat-boxes and there is almost 38 times more patch memory in the Airbase with 1,024 user and 500 preset drum kit settings! Two global LFOs can modulate the pitch of any sounds and sync to MIDI. Of course there are individual outputs for each drum sound as well as a stereo out."

"Roland CR-8000 Vintage Drum Machine Complete Service Done 12hours of work.
All push button switches have been removed and cleaned. Contacts have been treated with CaiKote 44 a repair solution for membrane buttons. All push buttons now work 100% and should be good for another 20 years. :)
All electrolytic caps and some ceramic caps have been replaced. Added individual outputs 1/8''/3.5mm for each of the instruments volume pots which controls the volume to the added output jack. Also a 1/8'' 3.5mm master output has been added in case you want to plug this into a EuroRack modular, the 1/4 jack still works too.
3 new AA batteries have been installed which hold user patterns when the machine is off. Tested with a few patterns i programmed into memory."

Mutable Instruments - Rings


Published on Dec 13, 2015 DivKidMusic

"**NOTE** The release version has all white knobs. Mine was is a prototype with the two coloured knobs.

It's here! After the initial teaser 'feature jam' video - [posted here] - here's the full overview video for Rings. Throughout we'll go through the Resonator modes, different external inputs and the polyphony settings. It's a fairly long video as I wanted to cover a lot of ground regarding different musical content across different audio inputs and using different sequences to highlight the polyphonic strumming and resonators etc. Timings for all the sections are below to aid some video skipping if you just want to check certain things out.

00:00 Feature run down
01:34 Resonator Modes
07:16 External In - Thumb Piano
08:23 External In - Synth Bass
09:21 External In - Drums
10:07 External In - Strings
10:52 External In - Oscillator Drone
12:00 External In - Vocals
13:24 External In - Contact Mic
15:18 Polyphony Settings
