1. Blipblox Fun Track
"Light and upbeat mix produced using the Blipblox Audio Exploration Module - a fully functional synthesizer for kids (and kids at heart). By Ben Messelbeck."
2. Blipblox Glitch Mix
"Upbeat glitch mix produced using the Blipblox Audio Exploration Module - a fully functional synthesizer for kids (and kids at heart). By Ben Messelbeck."
"Literally all sounds are from the DFAM, synced with Beatstep Pro to Ableton for consistent MIDI clock. Recorded as tracks and mixed with MINIMAL processing and no EQ at all. Just a touch of compression and reverb/delay. Much more than just a drum synth - I was very quickly able to create fat bass, deep tones and all sorts of FX sounds, in addition to some serious percussion and monstrous kick/snares."
2. DFAM JAM #3 - Hip-Hop/Beats
"Literally all sounds are from the DFAM, synced with Beatstep Pro to Ableton for consistent MIDI clock. Recorded as tracks and mixed with MINIMAL processing and no EQ at all. Just a touch of compression and reverb/delay.

3. DFAM JAM #5 - All sounds from the DFAM!
"Literally all sounds are from the DFAM, synced with Beatstep Pro to Ableton for consistent MIDI clock. Recorded as tracks and mixed with MINIMAL processing and no EQ at all. Just a touch of compression and reverb/delay. It won't win any composition awards, but I think it demonstrates the incredible sound of the DFAM. Much more than just a drum synth - I was very quickly able to create fat bass, deep tones and all sorts of FX sounds, in addition to some serious percussion and monstrous kick/snares."
"Monotribe as MIDI/Gate master for Tom Cat, which via CV OCD control TAMA TS-206 Space Toms. One Gate also controls MS-20Kit.
Pretty sure the Tom Cat is now my purr-fect analog drum companion!"

4th entry to the StarCruncher Series of Data Distortion Synthesizers
'Data Distortion' Synthesis is an exciting and newly unexplored method of Digital Sound Synthesis. This experimental technique of sound processing can result in wildly unpredictable timbres and sonic interactions usually found only in analog gear
A typical digital synthesizer sound engine operates much like a multi-lane highway. each of the oscillator voices like cars driving next to each other, drivers waiving politely to one other as everyone travels safely under the speed limit. the sound engine of this instrument is like taking those same cars and having them all smash head first into each other at maximum speed. using the unique controls of this synthesizer, this resulting explosion can then be slowed down, reversed, magnified, literally ripped apart and turned inside out all while being translated into sound.
this model features an 8-key keyboard and measures over twice the length of previous StarCrunchers
Includes: printed instruction guide and mini USB cable
