The Persephone vs. the Moogerfooger Freqbox

YouTube via RothHandle
"Today I continued working on a track by the Opium Cartel. It is a really interesting project where files are sent around all over the world with people doing overdubs separately and then Jacob, the bands songwriter sits in Norway and listens and sorts it out in the end. The material is really good and exciting so it is really fun material to work with.

Today I worked on a track called picker girl recording a lot of percussion stuff. During the afternoon I started with the Persephone experimenting with pedals. Here is a short experiment using the Moogerfooger Freqbox.

This film was shot at Roth Händle studios Stockholm. For more info on the studio, blogs and whatnot please visit www.roth-handle.nu"

Latronic Notron Sequencer

"The features of this fantastic device are too numerous to mention, everything is described in the manual which is linked [here]. There are four step sequencers, each of which can be controlled independently and adjusted while sequences are playing. Each sequence can have a different length and tempo. There are three-color LEDs for each step to indicate different states. Sequences can be forced to any of a large variety of scales, including some unique ones. Pitch bend, aftertouch, or other midi controllers can be sent in addition to notes. Velocity and note length are adjustable. Patterns can be saved and chained. The four wheels allow sequences to be "played" by transposing the notes - combined with force-to-scale, this is a great performance feature, something I have not seen on any other sequencer. The layout of the wheels makes it easy to play all four at the same time."
