Using the Circuit Mono Station as a glithcy groove box

video upload by Bay Mud

"It's been a while since I brought out the Novation Circuit Rhythm for a jam, but I wanted to see if a bit of patch flipping abuse could make it a pseude-groove box. Added the Zoom MS-70CDR and Templo Devices Pocket Compressor for good measure!"

Playing with the Album Cover That Is Also a DIY Synth & Audio Mangler (Synthesizer by APTBS)

video upload by Bay Mud

"I helped a friend build their copy of the recent A Place To Bury Strangers album, Synthesizer, the cover to which is a functional circuit board that becomes a DIY synth as well as an audio mangler. Very cool idea with gnarly results!

At the time of recording, this album was still available, but it took a while to edit and publish, so availability may be have changed, so YMMV

Dystopian Ambient Wavetable Synth Jam via the Midicake Arp and Fred's Lab Töörö

f
video upload by Bay Mud

"I managed to get my hands on a second-hand Töörö, which seems to pair very well with the Midicake Arp. 4 synth parts for 4 arpeggiators! Midicake also recently released V8 of the Arp firmware, so there are some fun new tricks to show off

Disclaimer: while Midicake did send me the Arp, they didn't ask me to do this video. I'm just doing this for fun, as these two work well together"
