Pics of the inside below.

"Fully tested and ready to play those "real bass" sounds you've been looking for! Unit has two EPROMS installed; "SNAPPY" and 'PICK RW JAZZ 2' as shown.

Systems used the 'Real Bass In A Box' slogan for their advertising of this player due to the fact that it has "real" and not synthesized bass sounds. The MIDI Bass produces the exact sound of acoustic and electric basses and boasted some of the most popular bass sounds of its time. The included library of sounds had everything from Slapped & Popped Funk Bass, Flat Picked Roundwound Jazz Bass, Stand-Up Acoustic Bass, Bowed Bass, and much more. 360 Systems also praised the realism of the MIDI Bass as it is touch-sensitive, follows pitch bends, and responds to MIDI patch changes. As a result, it was marketed as the natural complement to digital drum machines and MIDI sequencer/synthesizer systems."

Behringer Introduces Behringer BM-13 PHASER

video upload by Behringer

"Step into a new dimension of sound as Adam guides you through Behringer BM-13 PHASER – a true analog beast brought back to life. With a powerful 12-stage phasing circuit that can be switched down to 6 stages, this unit offers a massive range of sonic textures." ⏱️ Chapters:
00:00 It’s a Phase
00:14 The story of BM-13 Phaser
01:07 What’s a 12-stage Phase?
01:55 BM-13 demo
02:20 Features
03:14 The controls + demo’s
05:50 IO connectivity + demo’s
07:01 BM-13 in stereo
08:00 Phased drum demo

The Behringer BM-13 PHASER is your new go-to box of swirling, sweeping, analog goodness. Whether you’re chasing subtle vintage shimmer or deep resonant sweeps, BM-13 delivers timeless phaser tones with powerful controls for shaping the waveform the way you want.

A Control Freak’s Dream
With hands-on control over sweep, resonance, LFO rate and amount, BM-13 is as tweakable as it is musical. Want to slow things down to a hypnotic pulse? Crank that LFO down to a lazy 0.01 Hz. Feeling spicy? Flip it into high gear for warbly, out-there textures at up to 250 Hz. Add a little grit with the Drive knob, fine-tune your output level and explore either 6-stage or 12-stage phasing – each delivering its own flavor dimension and character.

Plug In and Lose Yourself
From funked-out guitar riffs to synth pads that melt into space, BM-13 is built for exploration. Guitarists and bassists will love how it adds motion without washing out your tone, while keyboardists and synth wizards can drench their patches in analog swirl. Even in the studio, it’s a secret weapon – run vocals, drums, or entire mixes through it for instant vibe and warmth. And with stereo output capability, your sound can stretch wide across the stage or mix.

Built to Play Modulation doesn’t stop at the stomp switch. BM-13 comes equipped with expression pedal inputs, giving you full control over key parameters from modular gear or performance pedals. Whether you’re a traditional player or an experimental sound-shaper, the Behringer BM-13 PHASER invites you to dive in and make it your own.

Minimal Ambient w/ norns shield & LYRA-8 | Cloudburst 2025-07-11 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A minimal-ambient piece for norns shield and ‪@somasynths‬ LYRA-8, built from slowly evolving phrases and drones.

norns shield: Runs awake; phrases are altered live with a monome grid. The output goes through a ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II for reverb, and near the end a micro-loop creates a dense cluster of tones.

LYRA-8: Plays drones and short phrases. Its signal is modulated with a BOSS CE-5 chorus, then processed by ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for filtering and reverb."

New Loopy Pro 2 Demos & Artist Spotlight

video uploads by Loopy Pro

Playlist:

1. Loopy Pro 2: Polyphonic Clip Playback with MIDI

Explore one of Loopy Pro 2’s most powerful new features: polyphonic clip playback. This tutorial shows how to trigger audio clips using MIDI — either pitched, where each note plays a different pitch of the clip, or sliced, where each note plays a different part of the audio. You’ll learn how to set up MIDI routing to clips, configure playback modes, and fine-tune behavior with features like fade-out-based note decay. We’ll also cover how to use loops as polyphonic targets, letting them sustain while held, and how to add an intro section to act as a sample’s attack before the loop takes over.

2. Loopy Pro 2.0: MIDI Loops & Signal Flow Explained

Learn how to harness the power of MIDI loops in Loopy Pro 2.0. This tutorial walks you through connecting a MIDI controller — whether it’s an external keyboard or the new on-screen keyboard — to a MIDI loop for recording and looping MIDI performances. You’ll also learn how to route that loop to an AUv3 instrument or any other MIDI destination to bring your loops to life. Plus, we’ll take a look at the redesigned mixer and demystify the new signal flow system so you can take full control of your setup.

3. Loopy Pro 2: Organize Your Mixer with Collapsible Sections & Rows

Loopy Pro 2 introduces powerful new ways to keep your mixer tidy. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to collapse entire sections — like Inputs, Outputs, or Groups — to hide them until you need them. You’ll also see how to collapse individual rows to save space and reduce visual clutter, making it easier to focus on what matters in the moment.

Loopy Pro Artist Spotlight #1: Dub FX

video upload by Loopy Pro

"Welcome to the first episode of the Loopy Pro Artist Spotlight — a new series where I sit down with musicians who use Loopy Pro to talk gear, creative process, and the magic of building music live.

In this premiere episode, I’m catching up with none other than Dub FX — looping legend, street-performer-turned-festival-headliner, and longtime Loopy Pro user. He has been pushing the limits of live vocal looping for over a decade, and we dive deep into how he’s using Loopy Pro 2.0 to run his full live show.

🍩 Loopy Pro 2.0 is out today — July 11!
If you’re new here: Loopy Pro is the most powerful and flexible looper DAW around. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or building beats in your bedroom, it’s built for musicians who want total control.

🔍 In this episode, we cover:
• How Ben got into live looping and built his first busking rig
• The (very weird) story of how we met — and how he discovered Loopy Pro
• Why he replaced his RC-505 and Akai Force with just an iPad and Loopy Pro
• How he controls his vocal effects, pedals, and sequencer entirely from the APC40
• The plugins and processing chains he uses for live sound design
• Touring insights: his approach to backups, reliable USB hubs, and hardware quirks
• His approach to the full artist cycle — from writing and releasing, to content, clubs, and festivals
• His philosophy on collaboration — and how looping opens up space for others

Teardrop/Massive Attack (Circuit Rhythm Version)

video upload by Guinan

"This week’s track is the ever wonderful ‘Teardrop’ by Massive Attack. Time to light a few candles, run a hot bath and get ready to chill out…..

I first attempted a version of this a couple of years ago in Logic after seeing the excellent breakdown by @GyuBeats . See his video here; • MASSIVE ATTACK - Teardrop - How Was It Mad...

Try as I might I still haven’t perfected this, but I thought it would be fun to do a ‘proper’ version using the Novation Circuit Rhythm. I’ve chopped and loaded as many phrases from the accappella version of the track as I could fit in the sample memory of the Rhythm. I think the Liz Fraser vocal is what makes 'Teardrop' so special. You can find the vocal track here (not sure how ‘official’ as it claims to be though)… • Massive Attack - Teardrop Official Acapell...

Everything you hear was programmed into the Circuit Rhythm and played live without any extra effects or synths.

I hope you enjoy my recreation (and on a Circuit Rhythm for a change). Check back soon for more tunes.

More details for synth nerds.
