video upload by Yan Cook
"The Echolocator is probably the most playable FX unit I've ever owned,
I love how it sounds, especially the shimmer, and I wish there was a way to modulate filter cutoff with the LFO."
Radical Frequencies dawless jam 145bpm
video upload by Radical Frequencies Modular
"Patch: The bass is the alpha pulse waveform from Dpvco into Diode Dream Vcf. Listen at the last 20 seconds of the video where I open the Alpha pwm pot (the beta vco triangle is internally connected as the PW modulator of alpha vco) and the opening of the filter cutoff for producing this fat warm analog pwm bass !
The goa style melody lead comes from admvco saw through the Scota Vcf !
All drums are from different sources mostly analog and I mix them through the RF audio cv mixer using the transistor output."

GoFundMe for Keyboard Magazine's Former Editor Stephen Fortner
It has come to my attention that Keyboard Magazine's former editor-in-chief (2009 through September 2015), Stephen Fortner has suffered a stroke. His wife has set up a GoFundMe to help with his recovery (click through for details). She also has a YouTube channel with progress updates here.
I grew up reading Keyboard Magazine and still have my original collection. Keyboard Magazine is what many of us grew up with before the age of the Internet.
Stephen has been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH countless times.
We send him and his wife our best wishes to a full and speedy recovery.
