Make Noise TEMPI Overview Videos

Published on Jan 21, 2016 MAKEN0ISE

"TEMPI is a 6 channel, polyphonic, time-shifting module. It provides an intuitive method for the creation and recalling of complex clocking arrangements within a modular synthesizer system.

The primary user interface and programming elements for the module are six large, illuminated buttons:
BUTTON-1 through BUTTON-6, and two smaller illuminated buttons:PGM_A and PGM_B. The module is able to store up to sixty-four clock/timing scenarios called "STATES", arranged in four BANKS of sixteen. An LED is used to indicate the current BANK by COLOR and changes in STATE indicated by FLASHING. There are INputs for External TEMPO, a Gate INput for MOD, and STATE Selection via a CV INput (with Combo pot for attenuation) and / or GATE INput.

The primary goal of this module is to have the maximum amount of artist-controlled musical variation with a minimum amount of data inputs."

Goldbaby Releases SuperAnalog909 - TR-909 Sample Set

Published on Jan 19, 2016 GoldbabySamples

"The SuperAnalog909 is available now: http://www.goldbaby.co.nz/superanalog..."

"Super punchy, warm, analog drums with Round Robin Layering. Using high-end outboard and a compulsive attention to detail... this 909 sample set is pure analog drum heaven.

Why have I created another TR-909 sample set?

I thought I could offer something a little different. This sample pack has been recorded at a higher sampler rate and has extensive Round Robin treatment to recreate the feel and movement of an analog drum machine (Maschine can't utilise round robin yet). The Tape909 used tape to give it extra mojo... this time I have used some rather tasty outboard, including: The Thermionic Culture Fat bustard II valve mixer, ez1073-500 pre/eq, A-Design EM-PEQ, Moog 500 series ladder filter, DIYRE 500 series Colour Palette, SPL TwinTube, UBK Fatso. Plus various guitar pedals."
