Wiggler and TX-6 synth jam

"Wiggler and TX-6 Jam

My #synthdiy Wiggler is a simple expressive monosynth, like a minimoog crossed with a wooden flute.

I discovered it plays really well with distortion. I only tried this because I found the distortion on the TX-6. The TX-6 also lets me pipe the audio into my phone and monitor it while recording!

The patch is a sawtooth wave with wiggle modulation thru a low pass filter with press modulation. There’s also a decay envelope to whack the filter.

Blackbird Cover - Speedbumpy LinnStrument Surface v2

"Buy Here [as available]

My latest attempt at making a better play surface for LinnStrument.

Each row is shaped like a long speedbump. They help you instantly feel the center of the row. Easily slide along the top of a bump for pitch bends.

Instead of gaps between notes, I put grooves over the center of the note. Confidently feel when you finger is on targer."
