"The MFC42 is a true analog filter module designed by Akai for its MPC series equipment. However, you can use it to process any sound source, since it has basic 1/4 "inputs and outputs and MIDI.It has genuine analog filters for that warmer tone with the Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch filter types. It consists of a MONO filter section and the STEREO filter section.The MONO section offers 2, 4 and 8 pole filter slopes.The STEREO section offers 2 and 4 pole filter slopes.The 8-pole slope of MONO It uses the entire filter circuit, so the STEREO section is not active, and the MONO section is inactive when the STEREO section is in 4-pole mode, but when both sections are used simultaneously, they can be linked so that the MONO filter control knobs control the MONO and STEREO sections.The link can also be inverted, so that the two sections sweep in opposite directions.
Other features include an ADSR envelope for the filter contour. This envelope can be activated by the MIDI button and Trigger"
These always gave me the impression of two 1U rack units stacked on top of each other. It's actually one unit with a black line dividing the two sections down the middle.
"Another DAWless midtempo electro banger, this time with just the Circuit and BOSS RC-202. Parts of the drop were pre-recorded into the looper and played back using its ability to save and recall loops.

"Experimenting with patching live (without having large gaps of random crap) - not sure I'm ready to do it in front of an audience & I ended up falling into very straight forward patterns but it seems to have worked (to my ears anyway)......."
"The Easel makes a nice rubbery bass with shanks from Microfreak ,Pads from Abyss,screams from Lyra-8 Drums from Digitakt and Soma Pipe is singing.All With lots of FX"
This is one of the posts that lead me down the YouTube rabbit hole. First the video of BREAKWATER featured above:
BREAKWATER LIVE 1978 NO LIMITS
Published on Sep 7, 2012 bassmania99
"RARE VIDEO OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDING BAND 1978. KAE WILLIAMS JR KEYBOARDS, STEVE GREEN BASS, GENE ROBINSON LEAD VOCALS AND TRUMPET, GREG SCOTT SAX, JIMMY JONES DRUMS, JOHN "DUTCH" BRADDOCK PERCUSSION, ZAE "LINC LOVE" GILMORE GUITAR & VINCE DUTTON SAX."
Next, a video I found of Breakwater's "Release the Beast" featuring the sample. Turns out it was overdubbed to a video clip of Phantom of the Paradise featuring TONTO.

I'm sampling sounds from music apps on an old iPhone 4s into the Electribe ESX-1 groovebox/sampler! I'm showing ways to be creative and sample sounds from different apps to make a new dubby techno groove. Use whatever gear you have! Just MAKE SOMETHING!
Woot! :)
