RT MOK Miniraze 1.5.1 update presets
video upload by Ross Totino and Fans of Collision
"A collection of presets I created for the MOK Miniraze synthesizer update to version 1.5.1 serves as a starting point for exploring the capabilities of this instrument. Its new waveform technology offers significant variability, enabling transformations in timbre that are unmatched by other synthesizers. Additionally, with internal and external modulation control possibilities and DAW automation that allow for further manipulation of these timbral transformations. This demo was done without any further processing.

LXR-02 gets Xeno'ed (no talk)
video upload by Richard DeHove
"In the last video I had the DB-01 going into the Nightverb reverb and then into the Xenodrive. This time it's a more conventional routing of the LXR-02 into the Xenodrive and then into the Nightverb. With the Nightverb early reflections, a little pre-delay and a careful amount of shape,it sudden;y came together. I was setting up for a completely different video idea but just had to capture this instead.
It's not all happy accidents though. First I tried Echolocator feedback into the Xeno and then Nightverb. Mildly interesting but even the Xeno couldn't rip the Echo feedback apart. And that's how it goes sometimes - you set everything up, twiddle up to 11 and you draw a blank. Sometimes I'll chew on it for days before admitting it was a rotten idea. I wasted the best part of two weeks recently on a looper pedal I bought and just couldn't get a single thing out of it. So sometimes when I don't post a video for a couple of weeks it's not because I'm too busy with cocktails and cigars, it's because my latest great idea just didn't produce anything worth your time.
Hopefully you'll agree that this little experiment with the LXR-02 was worthwhile. The LXR-02 remains one of my favorite machines. It has its flaws and is still desperately in need of another firmware update but I think it's a brilliant machine. Six assignable LFOs and multiple filters, deep editing and a tiny footprint: So much to love.
If this were a final production drum track I would definitely add a deep and clean bass drum from Hexdrums, but as usual I like to keep things well defined. Adding an external bassdrum would sound better but then you wouldn't be hearing pure LXR-02 / Xeno / Nightverb. My aim is to show you possibilities.
Many thanks to my kind patrons who keep this channel ad-free

About the Radio Show:
With a strong accent on the raw, the rockin’, the weird, and the obscure, Go Go Kitty is a surprise-filled two-hour trawl through the moldy and mysterious vinyl vault, shellac silo, and digital crypt of hopelessly obsessive musicologist and record junkie Peter Aaron.
About the Peter Aaron:
Peter Aaron is an award-winning journalist who has authored several books on music and has served as the music/arts editor of Chronogram Magazine since 2006. His writing has appeared in the Village Voice, the Boston Herald, and other publications, and online at AllMusic and All About Jazz. He lives in the Hudson Valley.
About Dina Pearlman-Ifil
Dina is the only child of Alan and Buena Pearlman and grew up with ARP Synthesizers as a backdrop for her childhood, traveling extensively and being exposed to innovative and cutting edge technology. In her early years she spent time playing in rock and roll bands, as well as dance and theater. For the past thirty years she has worked as a versatile visual arts and design professional, creative director, and educator. She has also worked extensively in photography, graphic and web design for several decades, and has a broad understanding of visual communications media.
In the last few years before his illness, Alan Pearlman started to re-examine the brave new world of synthesizers that exists today, many decades after his iconic and groundbreaking 12 years as the inventor and founder of ARP Synthesizers. During this time, he brought his daughter into the conversation. After his death in January 2019, Dina realized that the need of keeping his legacy and passion alive, and with the help and encouragement of many of his former colleagues as well as the wonderful Michelle Moog-Koussa, she started the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation and ARP Archives."
