On Polyrhythms and Poymeters – live patching of Studio No.3 with Francesco Gennari

video upload by Frap Tools

"In today's episode, Francesco Gennari takes us on a true USTA masterclass, using it to weave a texture of four voices and a delay effect. Different pattern lengths and rhythmic structures create a complex and ever-changing harmonic and melodic landscape, but they also control the delay taps, pushing forward the limitations of sequencer-based compositions."

Decadent Atmospheric Pads & Soundscapes on Roland XP-30

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2025

The Roland XP-30. Loaded w/ tons of decadent atmospheric pads and soundscape presets. Still relevant after all this time. Yes, yes, I hear using presets = bad. But sometimes you just want to kick back and let the imagination ride and give the left brain much needed rest. Headphones, dim lighting and candles recommended.
