The Granular Centerpiece of a Live Setup
video upload by Oscillator Sink
"I met the Beetlecrab Tempera in person at Superbooth this year and the sound (and blinking lights) had me smitten. After spending a number of weeks learning and using this extremely versatile granular instrument, I have landed upon the realization that it represents the missing piece for my live setup: part effect, part instrument, part looper, sitting at the centre of an ambient setup.
Transparency Notice:
The Tempura was provided to me by Beetlecrab Audio for the purposes of making content about it. Although I was not otherwise paid, I have been allowed to keep the instrument for myself. Beetlcrab have not been given, nor have they requested any editorial oversight to the content of this video.

Voices For Bob: Drum machine & synth pioneer Roger Linn recalls meeting Bob Moog
video upload by moogfoundation
"Roger Linn is an innovative engineer, designer, and musician best known for creating the LinnDrum, one of the first drum machines to use digital samples of real drums. His groundbreaking instruments helped define the sound of 1980s pop, hip-hop, and R&B, and he later co-developed the Akai MPC series, a cornerstone of modern beat-making. Linn continues to push boundaries with expressive instruments like the LinnStrument.
In this video, Roger shares a story about meeting Bob Moog at NAMM.

Lady (Hear Me Tonight)/Modjo (Circuit Tracks Version).
video upload by Guinan
"'Lady' by French house group Modjo was released in 2000 and comes very much from the Daft Punk/Ed Banger school of French dance music. It is (like many of Daft Punk's songs) built round the choice of a killer sample - this time 'Soup For One' from disco band Chic. Even 2nd tier Chic songs are fabulous in my book and this track plucks out the few essential seconds of the Chic track and makes a feature of them.
A shout out again to @hansotto8563 for suggesting this as a future track - sorry it took so long!
All you hear was programmed and sequenced on the Circuit Tracks and recorded straight from the audio out. This is an edit as I was running out of pattern space. I'll go back and redo it with a combination version with the Circuit Rhythm but for now I hope you enjoy this version.
Synth 1 - bass
Synth 2 - v-sync 'piano'-like patch playing chords and melody.
Drums - 909 samples and 3 edited Chic loops from 'Soup For One'"
