Published on Oct 21, 2019 Gecho Loopsynth

"An experiment to see if Gecho in its least environmentally protected format 'Acrylic Sandwich' can endure having drinks spilled on! Just remember to cut off the power quickly / take out the batteries if installed, and rinse it with water to remove sugar, salt etc.."

Studio Tour: Ham Plaza - synths a plenty

Published on Oct 21, 2019 sonicstate

"Ham Plaza is the name of the project that Ben works under. A lifelong self-confessed synth nut, he's what you call an enthusiastic hobbyist.

Fortunate enough to have a day job that supports his habit, Ben uses synth time to completely disconnect from the day to day pressures of work, he calls this "being in the flow", which is the place you can get to when time stands still and you are in the moment when creating.

I think we can all identify with that feeling.

Some really lovely pieces in Ben's home studio collection, some of you may recognise the Memory Moog from our recent FIVE MINUTES WITH series, there's also many other classic: Juputer 8 , Minimoog, Steiner Parker, 2600 and an OB-X to name a few.

Published on Oct 20, 2019 Reckless Experimentation Audio LLC

"I take a Holtek HT8950 voice modulation chip and turn it into a Eurorack module. I found the best spot in your signal path for this module is between the VCO and the VCA, acting as an 'overdrive' effect."
