iSPARK Drum Machine for iPad - NEW App Review A - Intro & Beat Rolling

Published on Mar 22, 2016 VJ FRANZ K

iTunes: Arturia iSpark - Arturia

"Now on iPad! This is my review of iSPARK, a port of the popular software / hardware drum machine from Arturia. This is a quick introduction, and I discuss the Roller and Loop functions, which are very good in this app! Definite recommendation for users of newer iPads. ( Older 32 bit iPads aren't supported. )

Sorry about the background noise, this video was not recorded in the studio! You should still be able to get the idea of what it's like to use iSpark."

VOLCA SAMPLE Review - A - Unboxing & Making Beats - Line In Audio

Published on May 18, 2015 VJ FRANZ K

"The New Member of the family - 'Volca Sample' is reviewed, unboxed and demo'd in Line-In Audio with my first two beats* on the machine! It's super portable and runs on batteries, but sounds big when hooked up to a full speaker system. It's got the sound of a classic sampler, with the warm sounding "analog isolators" that let you fine tune the sound, or do DJ style EQ tricks. Hear it Line-In recorded, with no effects added. *( Yes, I did try it at Noisebug synth store before this! Check them out. ; - )"

ELECTRIBE 2 & EMX-1 DISCUSSION - Part C : ARPEGGIO ROLL STEP JUMP etc,

Published on May 5, 2015 VJ FRANZ K

"Was the EMX arp. pad better? My most wanted 'Firmware Update' for the Electribe 2 ! ( We're critical because we love these machines, and want them run their best! ; - ) A 'roll' or 'beat repeat' would be great on the pads also. 'Step Jump' is great, but could be improved, and "Active Step" added... Much more discussion here - what do YOU think?"

Side note: parts A & B are not live yet but should follow in time.

Electribe 2 vs Volcas "COMPETING CLOCKS" IDM with multiple time signatures

Published on Mar 8, 2015 VJ FRANZ K

"In this jam, I made a 3/4 beat on the Volca, and 4/4 3/4 and 5/4 elements on the Electribe 2!
( You can set a different "Last Step" for each "Part" if you want! But sequencer must be stopped to change it. )
Also, I'm using the Step Jump and Active Step features.
All these rhythms are drifting in and out of sync in interesting ways…
And there's a Kaoss Pad 3 off scene adding extra FX to the E2M."

New ELECTRIBE 2 Review! Part - D MIDI control, feat TENORI - ON

Published on Jan 12, 2015 VJ FRANZ K

"World's First? Tenori-On controlling Electribe 2! A Great Combination!
This is an example of using external MIDI input to control the Electribe 2, you could also use a laptop, iPad or some other type of sequencer. This is just a simple "proof of concept" but I go into a lot of detail about both these machines - if you are a fan of either, this how-to discussion will interest you!"

"Just arrived! Warned - this Phone video is very jerky, but you can hear the awesomeness of this synth, using the multi option arpeggiator ( note the scatter knob effects on it ) along with the TR8 drum machine MIDI sync. This completes the AIRA studio, which is a high quality set of machines for live performance or recording!"

"Somebody had to do this! The AIRA TR8 receives MIDI notes on Channel 10, the TB3 on Channel 2. They are both being controlled by the Tenori-on. ( The TR8 must be in Play mode to use FX, which I'm doing here quite a lot. )"
