Just a weird little jam I did on the Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II Sampler Composer using my own samples I made from banging on things around the house..."

Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II First Test // Sampling Session

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"I love this thing! It's so easy to sample things from around the house with the built-in microphone. The little improvised jam at the end is pretty sloppy as I didn't know where I was going with it, but hopefully this video shows how easy it is to put together something on-the-fly!

That said, the 'Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II 64 MB Sampler Composer' is one of the worst names for an instrument ever..."

Further Explorations // Verbos Scan & Pan + XAOC Devices Timiszoara, Odessa, Batumi and Zadar

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

Further explorations with the Verbos Electronics Scan & Pan mixer and the XAOC Devices Timiszoara, Odessa, Batumi, and Zadar. The Scan & Pan is turning out to be a pretty amazing module as it Scans through the three channels featuring the Odessa's Odd, Even, and Fundamental outputs (and Pans channel three which is Odessa's Fundamental.) Couple that with the Timiszoara for effects and the modulation on the Odessa, makes for some really interesting sound!. Sequencing provided by the Intellijel Metropolix. Modulation from Batumi and Zadar which is also providing the Envelopes for Channel 1 and 2 of the Verbos."

First Encounter // XAOC Devices Odessa + Zadar

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"This is my first exploration with the XAOC Devices Odessa Harmonic Oscillator and Zadar Quad Envelope Generator, minutes after unboxing. This is edited down from an hour-long session so as not to completely bore everyone as I fumbled my way through these fairly deep modules. Hopefully, you will find moments of interesting alien sci-fi soundscapes within... additional modulation from Xaoc Batumi. Reverb and Delay effects via Mutable Instruments Beads."

SYNTRX vs Electron Fuzz Custom

ONE MODULE CHALLENGE! // Mutable Instruments Beads First Encounter

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"A two part video with the first half being my own 'One Module Challenge' exploring the built-in Wavetable Oscillator of the Mutable Instruments Beads module. In the second half of the video, I add the Make Noise 0-CTRL for simple sequencing. There was a crackling noise throughout the audio which I attempted to fix with iZotope's RX plugin... I'll have to explore what's causing this."

Further Explorations with the Buchla Music Easel // Part Six

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

Part Six of a series of short, exploratory videos to get reacquainted with my Buchla Music Easel which I’ve neglected these past couple of years. This is a simple straight-ahead tune that could be expanded into a song with beats and other instruments. I may do that at some point... Effects from the Empress Effects EchoSystem."

Improvisation with the Buchla Music Easel

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

I almost wasn't going to post this one... this is the first half that I had edited out from the previous video as I felt it wasn't as good as it should have been; but once the arpeggiator kicks in halfway through, maybe some would find it a little interesting? In any case, since YouTube recently demonetized me for not uploading anything for a few months, I now need to upload all I can!"

Buchla Music Easel + Moog Matriarch

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

A quick and simple little jam featuring the Buchla Music Easel and the Moog Matriarch. Effects used on the Music Easel were the TC Electronic MIMIQ Doubler and the Empress Effects EchoSystem pedals, and on the Matriarch, only the built-in Dual Analog Delay."

Intellijel Metropolix + E-RM Polygogo

Another quick test of the new "Accumulator" feature on the Intellijel Metropolix, this time sequencing the E-RM Polygogo module."

Metropolix + Syntrx // A Quick First Test

video by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

This is a quick first test of the new Intellijel Metropolix Sequencer paired up with my Erica Synths Syntrx Synthesizer (makes for a perfect pairing!) The big new thing with the Metropolix over their previous Metropolis sequencer is the new "Accumulator" feature, which allows you to have different notes in a scale play, not only per step, but per Pulse count on each and every step, or per Ratchet on every step! It's groundbreaking! And makes for a very musical sequencer in only 8 steps..."

See this post for details on intellijel's Metropolix.

A quickie with the SYNTRX + Ableton Live 11 Beta

Genshi Media Group

"I installed the Ableton Live 11 Beta today and thought I'd do a quick recording test using the Erica Synths SYNTRX being sequenced with the Make Noise 0-CTRL. I forgot to show this but, the initial Tempo in Live 11 was set using the new Audio Follow feature. I also added the new Spectral Resonator towards the end along with the updated Flanger."

The Beast in the Machine // A Syntrx Sound FX Experiment

Genshi Media Group

"::| WARNING! EXTREME FREQUENCIES AHEAD! USE CAUTION |::

Further explorations of the Erica Synths SYNTRX. This is a completely experimental, non-musical, sound fx demo, so if that's not your thing, you may want to look elsewhere (like to my previous video which was a more musical demonstration of the Syntrx.)"

A SYNTRX Performance (4k version)

'::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

As I was exploring the capabilities of the Erica Synths SYNTRX, I came up with a patch on it, and a sequence on the Make Noise 0-CTRL, that vaguely reminded me of something with that "Boards of Canada" flavor... so I had to capture it on video.

DRONE BATTLE // Polygogo vs Cloud Terrarium

Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

I thought I'd have fun and do an experimental Drone Battle between the E-RM Polygogo and the Synthesis Technology Cloud Terrarium modules. Both modules are being modulated by the XAOC Devices Batumi (my favorite LFO!) and after demonstrating the dry signal, a touch of Reverb is added in post using Valhalla VintageVerb.
