all sounds: CASIO SK-1 8bit mini sampling keyboard from 1985
thanks to Mister ED and friends for the lovely voice :)
The SK-1 is the cheapest sampler in the world. The sampling is 8-bit, 9.38kHz, 1.4 seconds.
Used by Fatboy Slim, Beck, Autechre, Portishead, Bloodhound Gang, Nine Inch Nails and more"
"Data Vibes is a self running eurorack modular synthesiser patch.
limited attenuator modification will vary the patch permanently but in a musically meaningful way."
"An experimentation of sorts, once again. The experiment is mostly on the recording end this time. A Zoom R16 multi-track recorder was purchased while they were on sale a few weeks back, and so far we have been mighty impressed with the thing. Originally I wanted something portable(battery powered) and completely free from the computer that could also act as a mixer as well(possible forest volca sessions? Techno at the creek?).
So far it fits the bill and more. We recorded the 4 tracks in stereo mode(we have not played with mono recording on it yet, but plan to). The four instruments were all dialed in(peaking) at around -12db at their loudest during recording(according to the on-board VU meters). Final volume levels were then adjusted in Presonus One with a touch of compression(more as track "glue") and limiting. I plan on trying out all the on-board stuff that the Zoom has too( it has effects/mixing/mastering etc). Lots of exploring to do. The '"cold" tone of music continues with the snow outside. Have a good week, thanks for watching and listening!

"Here I do yet another live performance of a Commodore 64 SID classic: Delta, by Rob Hubbard from 1987.
Three Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators are used:
* PO-28 Robot: main lead, blips and drums.
* PO-14 Sub: bass and extra percussion.
* PO-16 Factory: secondary lead.
Both leads are played live, but some special tricks had to be done in order to overcome the "fixed scale" of the PO's, in this song that actually uses two scales. The PO-16 runs a few patterns where some notes on certain occasions are raised a half step. That way the range gets much wider.
Due to the 16-pattern limit of the PO-14 and PO-16 I had to break up the mid part and cut the parts together. Everything is done live though, so it's totally playable."

Integrating an MPC 1000 and a Miniak with my Modular synth via CV - Midi Converter and effecting audio out from the MPC with the Modular.
Nice to have'em all tied together playing nice :)
Check out our modules!!!"
"Here's a dirty jam I came up with over the weekend, limiting the performance to just a 6U case with nothing else running outside the box. This was performed live with no edits.
Patch highlights:
This short set was inspired after purchasing the Sound Machines LS1 lightstrip from Perfect Circuit Audio here in Los Angeles, CA. That module is featured front and center, using it to sweep the Ripples filter, which is running the overall mix.
I used every module in the case.
The clock is set by Mutable Instruments' Yarns, then divided out to various modules via the Delptronics Triggerman.
There are two kicks: one is from Mutable Instruments' Peaks, and the other is also from Peaks, but split off and sent through the Intellijel uFold II then through The Harvestman's Malgorithm and spit back out as a distorted WTF.
Snare sound is a sampled piano from the default sounds on the Bastl Instruments GrandPA -- of course it's all crushed from the effects from the module.
Some percussive effects are also coming from Noise Engineering's Basimilus Iteritas.
I use the Synthrotek MST CV/Mixer to turn off and on the kicks.
The two basslines from from The Harvestman's Hertz Donut and HARM on Braids, going through Audio Damage's Kompressor and LFOs from Intellijel's Quadra
The 6U case is from Dark Modular Cases.
No computers were used in this piece. All modular synths."
