"Here's a wicked little synth from the 2000's. This is the original and best Dark Star synth.,, in full working condition and it sounds great! It can totally do classic analog type basses, leads, strings and pads but can also get very wild.. the filter is amazing! Great synth, hard to find and quite unique."

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
