Anyways, the Volca FM is playing the main melody; the vSample is playing the drums & bass sequences; the Volca Keys is playing chords; and the Volca Bass is running an arp while I play a lead melody on it.

Hope you guys enjoy this video and thank you for watching, littleBIGsynths.👍"

The Mojave Desert Modular Experiment: Dillon Bastan

Published on Jul 22, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"In the Mojave Desert Modular Experiment, we worked with local artists to create modular systems suited to their own styles and workflows...despite the fact that none of them had ever used modular synths before. Each artist/group had two weeks to get to know their system and prepare a performance.

Dillon Bastan normally works with Max and Ableton Live, so although he hadn't used eurorack synthesizers he was familiar with modular signal routing from the Max software environment. Dillons system was based around a Mutable Instruments Marbles for sequencing drums from an Intellijel Plonk and synth sounds from Instruo's CS-L complex oscillator.

Come by our showroom to try out these systems for yourself, and keep an eye out for more results from the experiment each Monday this month! Read more about Dillon's system and get links to his music here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal..."
