Patch Exploration: WMD Chimera

Published on Oct 12, 2017 soundunitz

"Short video playing around with the WMD Chimera I picked up at Knobcon this year.Been having a lot of fun with it so far. It's my 1st dedicated drum module. It fits right in with what I'm doing at the moment so I would say I'm very glad I got it.

PATCH NOTES:
Chimera is being triggered by one of the Sq-1s.
Peaks as well.
Two sequences from two different SQ-1s are both going to the Disting that is in Precision Adder mode. Both outputs from the Disting are routed to the 2Hp MIX then to the 2Hp TUNE. The output from the TUNE is being Mult'd to the 2Hp OSC and the int. OSC of the Mutable Instruments Warps.
The 2hp Osc is going through Ripples."

Steffi - Against The Clock

Published on Oct 12, 2017 FACTmagazine

Some nice synth spotting in this one. Sequentix P3 sequencer appears to the brain.

"The Dutch house and techno explorer creates an intense track in 10 minutes.

Steffi keeps busy. Since moving to Berlin in 2007, the Dutch-born producer has – deep breath now – released three sublime solo albums on Ostgut Ton, founded not one but two successful labels, promoted hundreds of underground parties and kept the city's iconic Panorama Bar booming as one of its resident DJs.

With her most recent album World of the Waking State continuing to make waves a month after its release, we added another item to her already-frantic to-do list – our Against The Clock challenge. Crafting a beat in 10 minutes using a seriously enviable array of gear, the cult hero didn't disappoint. Watch above."
