video upload by Starsky Carr

"Taking 5 Modbap Modular eurorack modules to create massive sounding patches. On Drums we have Trinity delivering 3 huge hitters, with OSIRIS on main lead and bass... a duophonic GOD!! Meridian is on stereo swirling filtering FX duties with CLRS giving the drums some grit, compression and DJ style filtering. And finally we have Per4mer throwing in some moves to keep things bouncing along."

"There were times when my only piece of equipment was the Yamaha RM1x. While going through some old floppy discs I’ve came across some really old tracks from around 2005-2007. I was surprised how playful and full of energy these are. Technically and soundwise they are all pretty funky but I was really stunned by the liveliness of these old projects. So I’m like…yeah let’s share em. Maybe some people will even remember some of these from the past live shows. Shees that was ages ago… Ok, let’s go. 1/7

This was called Orangetime and it was included on my album I'm you but you're still more that came out in 2007 on @4mg_records . Limited edition 100 copies, CD. It's still out there somewhere."

Bad Gear - Roland's Microkorg

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Before Roland was turned into a lifestyle brand our favorite synth manufacturer released instruments that had a profound impact on music history.

At the top of this pantheon sits the iconic Jupiter-8, a massive analog synth keyboard sent down to earth in 1981. Today we are going to talk about Jupiter-Xm and it goes without saying that Roland would treat its majestic legacy with utmost respect - just kidding, it’s digital, there’s plenty of menu diving and - of course - minikeys worthy of a Microkorg.
