*N.B.— Zviij "Fetish" (Upcoming release 2013)
Zviij's 4th full length album is more a principle and a routing process than a fixed composition. Elaborated on sound-trajectories and timbric patterns, "Fetish" was conceived for electric strings + electronics and was realized with a 10-string Grand® Chapman Stick + various hybrid analog/digital sound processors (including harmonizers, delays and distortion boxes). "Fetish" displays a series of peculiar recordings between early electronics, alternative chamber music and technical sound design. (...) zviij.com"

Details on the 8ktakontrol via AG-KW. Note this is the first AG-KW post on MATRIXSYNTH.

"Our OKTAKONTROL is a smart addition to the famous Elektron Octatrack. Basically it is a midicontroller-box with 8 high precision faders and 9 buttons to control the tracks in your Octatrack. The Oktakontrol is fitted perfectly to the Octatrack: it is in the same width & height and its sockets are at the sidepanel – so you can place both machines directly next each other. This mechanical detail combined with concentration on the most important functions makes the Oktakontrol a unique & perfect controllerbox for the Elektron Octatrack.

FEATURES
- 8x ALPS faders to control track level
- 9x buttons to control track mute/solo/arm/user configurable
- sturdy case which fits perfectly next to the Octatrack
- all sockets at side panel & user-configurable arrangement of sockets
- based on Arduino (open source / reprogrammable by experienced user)
- Midi IN/ OUT/ THRU/ AUX
