"Overall, the synth is in excellent working condition. The front panel is very clean with hardly a blemish to be seen. The top has some minor marking, the sides and rear are also clean with only minor marks.

All knobs, buttons and switches are present, original and function correctly.

The unit has been fully tested and is working as it should be."

Exploring Apps 01 // Patterning Singing Bowl Experiment

Published on Oct 23, 2017 Computing.Sound

"The 'Patterning : Drum Machine' iOS app by Olympia Noise Co. sequencing singing bowl samples and a bit of tweaking.

The samples where recorded with a Zoom H5 and the XY capsule that came with it.

I really like the app.
Sadly it isn't available on Windows or Android."

Dave Smith Instruments In the Spotlight with the Mopho X4 and Fabian Almazan

You'll find the full interview at Dave Smith Instruments here.

"Recently nominated for a Grammy for his work on Terence Blanchard’s Breathless, pianist and composer Fabian Almazan found his musical roots as a child in his homeland of Havana where he first became involved in the classical piano tradition. When his parents could not afford to pay for private piano lessons and having migrated to Miami, Florida, pianist Conchita Betancourt was gracious enough to impart free lessons. Thanks to Mrs. Betancourt’s exceeding generosity, Fabian was able to audition for the New World School of the Arts High School in Miami where he studied from 1998 to 2002. In 2002 Fabian was selected for the piano chair in the National 2002 Grammy High School Jazz Combo. The following year, Almazan attended the newly up and running Brubeck Institute fellowship program based in northern California where he studied with Mark Levine and performed with Dave Brubeck and Christian McBride. In 2003, Fabian moved to New York City to study with Kenny Barron at the Manhattan School of Music..."

Malekko Heavy Industry - Gate Delay

Published on Oct 23, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's the fantastic Gate Delay from the lovely people at Malekko Heavy Industry. This is a totally awesome and exciting module that I imagine many looked at and thought it wasn't for them as a more utilitarian piece of kit. But it can be incredibly musical. With options for input normalising or normalising of outputs to create rhythmic musical canon effects with your gates and options for tying gate delay times to the clock or going unquantized it really is ace and incredibly fast to get things moving in interesting ways. It's a lovely pairing for the Varigate and/or Voltage Block but of course works entirely independent as seen here.
