"Crazy little sound box
w/ a Piezo Pickup inside great for acoustic/electro noises.

The real joy is the sound processing that it can do, delays, reverbs shimmers even some ring modulation.

Great condition only is issue is the two small holes that we put in to support something else. Doesn't effect it in anyway."

Moogerfooger Phaser - Using Control Voltage with the Moog Phaser

Published on May 2, 2020 David Morley

"The Moogerfooger Phaser from Bob Moog is a great unit that allows control voltage of many features. In this example I use my DSI Tempest to play a simple sequence which is then passed through the phaser and voltage controlled from my Schrittmacher sequencer creating a kind of S&H effect. Enjoy!"

"We demonstrate the basic functionality of the Moog. Mother-32, including its analog VCO, VCF and VCA, as well as its modulation sources and sequencer. We then show how to update the Mother-32 to the new V2 firmware using MIDI sysex. The new firmware has several new sequencer features, including multiple play modes (forward, reverse, ping-ping, and random), as well as additional triplet and dotted subdivisions that are useful when synchronizing with external devices.

Lay Down Your Shield by No Man's Island

Behind the scenes: creating the synth riff for Lay Down Your Shield

Published on May 2, 2020 No Man's Island
Update: video above added.

"A small secret about Lay Down Your Shield (released on April 28th) is that it was really already started on in December 2018. Songwriting is a long process 😅 The main riff of the song was created by Rune tweaking some sounds on his MFB Dominion 1 synthesizer, and eventually thought to himself 'hey, this sounds rather cool, doesn't it?'."

New track from supporting member, Rune Flobakk.

"We are not primarily a 'synth band' by any means, but the sound relies heavily on synths. On this song I used both an Alesis Andromeda A6 and an Oberheim Matrix-12. The arpeggiator riff in the verses is played on the Andromeda, and I use the Matrix-12 for chords in the refrain and bridge. The song is available on Spotify and most other streaming services"

Ricky Tinez: I'm finally a Tracker user.. // Polyend Tracker thoughts and making a song.

Published on May 2, 2020 Ricky Tinez

"I've tried getting used to the ReNoise workflow for what feels like forever.. I couldn't do it! it was the weirdest DAW to me. But for whatever reason using the Polyend Tracker to make music fully standalone doesn't really feel like a DAW even though thats exactly what it is.. I think its just having my Tracker shortcuts right on the face of the unit vs hidden behind the QWERTY keyboard made all the difference for me."
