The great Elektron jam! w/ Analog Four MkII, Analog Rytm MkII, Monomachine MkII, Digitone, Zoia

Published on Aug 5, 2019 Jay Hosking

"A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by Elektron's classic Monomachine and all its surprising features. If you didn't already know, the Monomachine is a discontinued, older machine, and (to the best of my knowledge) nothing in Elektron's line-up can quite replace what it did. Once I was using the Rytm and the Monomachine, it seemed silly not add in the rest of the Elektron team. The Zoia was brought on at the last minute to give that "old VHS" sound to the Digitone.

Elektron Analog Rytm MkII — Samples and drums
Elektron Monomachine SFX60-UW MkII — Master-level effects on the Rytm, plus two synth lines (high lead, chorus saw), plus drums
Elektron Analog Four MkII — Four synths, primarily in "chorus" section (bass, tremolo flute, fast arp, synth string)
Elektron Digitone + Empress Zoia — slower arp

Written and performed within a 24-hour period, and uploaded as is, with only a little compression/limiting on the master.

Why Modular? - Thoughts on Eurorack Vs Standalone Synths

Published on Aug 4, 2019 DreamsOfWires

"Warning: Contains talking! This video is intended mostly for those who are curious about, or considering getting into Eurorack Modular. After having a few chats with people on YouTube about modular and conventional synths, I decided to make a video sharing my thoughts and what I like about it.
I've built my channel on the back of self-contained synths, so I appreciate that most of my audience will be more into those kinds of instruments, and I still like them too. However, there are pros and cons of both, so hopefully this video will give people who are unsure of modular something to think about.

All sounds heard in the video are from AJH Synth Eurorack modules. A version without talking will be available on my Patreon page.

If you like my videos, please consider helping me to fund the continuation and development of my channel, by supporting me on Patreon for $1 a month and gaining access to occasional exclusive content, or by purchasing my music on Bandcamp:

"For the hardware jam challenge this weekend. It does not really sound like summer but for some reason this is something that reminds me of summer, not sure why.

Enjoy.
