Published on Mar 24, 2016 Rob Papen

"Preview of Prisma. Available April 2016. It was planned for March, but the MCP (Multi Control Page) did delay it a few weeks.

These do not show up often, especially not with a listing description as colorful as the synth:

"One out of 53 totally made. The synth is in MINT CONDITION WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
The synth is so cool and weird. Weird in coolie weird way. Very unusual character and amazing thought has gone into its sounds and architecture.
Just go to there website to discover and fall in love with the plethora of wives you will be inheriting if you purchase it.
Hahaha

BURG - Album Movement 10 (Roland TR-8, Novation Circuit, Strymon Timeline)

Published on Mar 23, 2016 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff, please support me on http://music.ollilab.com

I wanted to strip things down a bit for a few tracks, go back to the roots and do some minimal droning style stuff for the album. In order to do this i just set the TR-8 and circuit up on a table so i could better focus on a smaller setup... i like the idea of being able to make music with just two instruments and some FX... I also try not overwork the production, just let beats and melodies flow in a natural way.

What your see is what you hear, signal chain is, Novation Circuit, Strymon TimeLine, TR-8, Kaoss Pad and the Zoom ms-70 CDR. This track only exists as a 2 track version.

There are just minimal FX in each chain to shimmer things up a bit in sections, i use them to punch in/out stuff.. plus that the kaoss pad has a couple of loops to build ambient textures.

let me know what you think !

Enjoy ! :)"

The Bob Cat Bassline (Tom Cat, Freqbox & MF Drive)

Published on Mar 23, 2016 HardtekStudios

"Experimenting with some unique ways to make a baseline and I came up with this. The name comes from Bob (Moog and Tom) Cat. The signal path starts with the Tom Cat's tom section which is routed into the Moog Freqbox, then out from there and into the MF Drive for some cat beef. The Env follower CV out is going into the Filter in of the MF Drive for some acid like effects. No additional processing was applied. Next weeks video will feature a full track using this baseline."
