"These two boxes are very nice together - I've got three tracks on the digitone - two sequences and one that I'm playing. The digitakt is providing some soft glitchy percussion"
Synthi-100 is being triggered by a Roland TB-303, drums: Roland TR-606. Both 303 and 606 going through the Synthi-100 mixer. No added effects or processing.
Extra pair of hands helping me manipulate the Synthi in real-time is Anthony Lyons.
With special thanks to Lesley Craythorn and my colleagues Anthony Lyons and Mark Pollard at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, The University of Melbourne."
Negative Feedback is a sound sample pack created by recording performances using an atonal feedback synthesizer. The instrument features two analog stereo preamp circuits which are manipulated by touch creating connections with skin across gold metal plates. Gestural hand motions across the plates produce sounds and textures that are otherworldly and in some instances beyond human hearing. Be careful! Perfect for science fiction, horror, suspense, or any project that requires the highly unusual.
Negative Feedback includes 190 samples unprocessed, 100 samples processed with hardware effects, and 100 samples processed with software effects. 390 .wav files in total. (96k sample rate, 24 bit)
"This is one of my new favorite covers. Really enjoyed taking the industrial groove of this track and filling it with tons of synths. DKC coming next week. The album I promised to release almost two years ago. Its coming. Get psyched."
It is with excitement, I bring you this video of Dr. Dave's second polymoog tear down before rebuild. [you can find synthpro's video of his first one posted here]
This is a video for the hardcore polymoog fans out there, I suggest you grab a snack/drink and enjoy as I go from a fully assembled polymoog to the bare parts making up a polymoog!!
As mentioned in the video, this is another polymoog that belonged to Dr. Dave Luce, the inventor of the polymoog.
Im restoring this polymoog for the Luce family. Dave is no longer with us on this earth but his legacy lives on with the great inventions and research he left behind. I have to personally thank Dave because without the polymoog, I do not believe I would have ever got into electronics and made a career out of synth restorations. THANK YOU DAVE!!
A very special thank you to the whole Luce family as well, its a true privilege and honor to call all of you my friends.
