SUPERBOOTH 2022 - Twisted Electrons - Blast Beats

video upload by sonicstate

"Blast beats brings back the sound of the DOS era with this 10 voice groovebox powered by the OPL3 (YMF262) FM chip from the 8 bit game era.

Alex from Cre8audio and Twisted Electrons showed us how Blast Beats gives total control over this chip, so we can make the 6 drum tracks and 4 synth tracks sound warm and beautiful, or utterly dirty, all with that 8 bit vibe. and each of the 56 faders can be automated per step, with all patterns and kits saved to the SD card.

Blast Beats is available now price: 589 euro"

"At the heart of BlastBeats is a vintage FM chip called YMF-262 also known as the OPL3 chip & previously found in computer sound cards of the early 90s.

These chips were notoriously hard to program and were rarely used to their full potential. However, they can produce surprisingly rich beautiful and utterly dirty sounds with a bit of exploring...

By putting so many parameters within easy reach BlastBeasts makes it fun and easy to master the signature sound of the DOS era!

RYTHM & SYNTH
BlastBeats is a 10 voice groove box offering 6 drum voices and 4 synth instruments.

The many faders offer full control over the parameters of the instruments and can be automated and modulated per step ​

Beats and melodies are a pleasure to program thanks to the high quality illuminated buttons"

Every knob and fader can easily be modulated by the easy to use LFOs.

MAKE IT A DOUBLE!
