Improvisation with 0-Coast & Habit

video upload by junklight

"A good way of learning gear is to make something with very limited items. In the last year I've acquired two 'trilogies' - the Make Noise desktop units and three Chase Bliss pedals that seem to really complement each other: Mood, Blooper and Habit

For this one focusing on the 0-Coast and Habit (assisted by the 0-control - while I'm happy to, and indeed do, make completely 'note free' work I'm not sure YouTube is a place it might find an audience)"

"Ms20 Analog Low pass and High Pass filter with expression pedal use for bass guitar, guitar or synthesizer. 100% Handmade point to point made in Greece. Www.TsomokosAudio.com"

Not seeing it on their site as of this post. I remember the Frostwave Resonator as the first MS20 style filter pedal. It can strip the paint off the wall. I still own mine.

Oberheim Matrix 1000 vs OB-X8 // A Vintage Gem that deserves a closer look

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Oberheim OB-X8 is an incredible sounding all-in-one OBX, OBSX, OB8 and OB-Xa but that comes with a considerable price tag. The Matrix 1000 is a true Oberheim (albeit with different innards) that's been a staple in studios for 3 decades. There's an amazingly flexible, warm sounding, fat little synth hiding in this little box. Putting it in a modern context vs the latest release from Oberheim tells an interesting story.

It always was a budget version of that Oberheim sound coming in at lower cost that the Matrix 6 or the Matrix 6R but how does it stack up in 2022. There are plenty of editors, and firmware to help it overcome some of its tweaking shortcomings.

Here's a demo of how it sounds compared to the fabulous OB-X8 and how I've been using it - which editors I found most useful etc.

All-in-all I've very impressed by it, a forgotten gem from the 90s that deserves a closer look!"

Patch Diary 004: Sequential Prophet Rev 4

video upload by Bloom Music

"Let's make this patch.

This is a video series where I create a patch from scratch and explain it (with subtitles) along the way.

The synth for today was the Sequential Prophet Rev 4.

The effects used were:
Earthquaker Devices Plumes
Caroline Guitar Company Kilobyte Lo-fi Delay

This time, I made a crunchy, resonant Prophet lead."
