"May the Force be with you... the Akai Force that is. Join us live May Force... May Fourth for this live stream focused around the Akai Force. We will have live performances by DSTL, Ken Flux Pierce, BBoyTech and Trovarsi. BBoyTech will also be giving some useful tips and tricks with the Force.
This stream will be live on 5/4/20 at 6PM PST.
The Akai Force is a standalone production workstation which is playable with its velocity sensitive pads and interesting note layouts, but also includes powerful sequencing features. The Force is great at sampling and sequencing external gear and it has built in synths and effects.
"Quick demo of the new v2 firmware for the Dual Mini Sequencer.
There's actually quite a bit going on here:
- XP IN in RUN/RESET mode to synchronize sequencers with external pushbutton
- Top sequencer controlling pitch, gate and slew/slide
- Bottom sequencer controlling kick, snare (using various gate timings to modify rhythm) and filter accent
- Using LIVE TRANSPOSE mode to transpose pitch as well as loop back to start

"This is it, one of the rarest Elektron SidStation ever. Comes with OS R33 installed. Works perfectly. Switching power supply included, only US connector. A plethora of pretty much unobtainable extras and memorabilia, see images. Original manual and original box. For the very serious collector only."
Anyone know if this came from the factory / Elektron this way? Thought it might just be a custom job, but if so it is well done. It could be a CustomSynth.uk design... If you know feel free to leave a comment.
"Great example of a Kurzweil 250 RMX with full functioning Macintosh setup!
The unit comes fully loaded with All sound blocks and ROM patches including #0-455 & #600-652! This unit also comes with a fully functional Mactintosh setup including some very rare program systems including QLS, the Kurzweil Quick Load System and 'SD Convert' to interface with Digidesign's Sound Designer.
If you have any interest in exploring the soundscapes of a Kurzweil K250 this is the unit to have! This package includes a handy carrying case for the Mac and a very intuitive user manual for the Kurzweil K250 line."
Here we have the new PICO DRUM2 module from Erica Synths. Unlike the PICO DRUMS (which is sample based) the DRUM2 is a full on drum synthesiser. It has 8 algorithms that cross traditional drum & percussion sounds, melodic basslines and some really filfthy hits for drum sounds or riffs. It tracks 1v/oct, has assignable CV to algorithm parameters, decay or algorithm select meaning it’s easy with some careful sequencing to turn a single module into a whole beat and drum kit. With such a wide range to the module there’s lots of patches so feel free of course to skip around with the timing index and sections below. I’ve added lots of beats with no talking, each algorithm is explored, CV configuration is demonstrated and there’s also tuning the DRUM2 into a full drum kit vibe with some careful sequencing.
NOTE - “beat break” patches are no talking patches with the intention of showing the wide range of sounds these can produce across a range of different styles. There’s additional sounds and processing on some of them but they all label what the two DRUM2 modules are doing on screen.

"Henning Neidhardt is a German pianist, keyboardist, and composer. Owing to his jazz piano studies in the Netherlands, as well as at the Folkwang University Of The Arts in Essen, he is mostly active in and around Cologne, the Ruhr area, and Amsterdam. In addition to live performance, he is also composing soundtracks for short films, as well as producing his own ambient music. Henning was awarded the “Steinway & Sons Advancement Awards Jazz” in 2018.
We chatted with Henning on how he’s been using Sequential instruments in his music."
