"We have now entered the second phase of the recordings for the theatrical production of Bröderna Lejonhjärta by Astrid Lindgren. Our first recordings were aimed towards the more serious sections of the production...Now we are working on the silly bits. Chaotic and collagey. Loads of Optigan stuff and autokomp.

This short little film was recorded at Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. This is where I work and record artists and groups. I started the studio in my apartment in 1998 and then moved to my first studiolocation in 2001. If you are curious to find out more about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu"

Me and Matti have worked on a couple of different projects together. The first was playing live with Ingy.

The New Tiptop Audio Z5000

"The new Z5000 provides a practical and economical means of adding digital stereo effects to the monophonic sounds of a modular synthesizer. The Z5000's twelve stereo effects include seven different types of reverbs, ranging from dry reflection to highly diffused tail, two ping-pong delays, two triplet delays, and a smooth chorus. It also includes four mono effects including: a linear comb filter (flanger), an exponential comb filter (two-stage phaser), a monophonic delay and a +/-1 octave pitch shifter.

One of the unique features of the Z5000 is that each of the sixteen DSP programs offers a smooth parameter sweep using the front panel controls and/or an external positive or bi-polar CV. Coupled with the available digital effects, the Z5000 is able to be fully integrated into a system, making post-processing of modular synth sound effortless by eliminating the need for long cables with adaptors running to external multi-effects processors. And because the Z5000 is designed to handle 'hot' modular signals, it helps prevent audio clipping caused by un-matched signal levels.

The Z5000 hardware combines the benefits of analog patch cables with the sound of 24bit digital effects in a convenient Eurorack module that is easily integrated into your system like any other analog module.

The new Z5000 is now available through AH and Schneiders Buero

Update: If you are curious as to what the difference is between the old and new Z5000, here is what Gur had to say in the comments: "new DSP processor with 16 new algorithms, stereo delays, digital comb filters, new reverbs and a much smoother control with Bi-Polar CV. This revision of the Z5000 is focusing mainly on the stereo image, while the old Z5000 was more about highly diffused reverbs. One doesn't necessarily replace the other."

"I go through a bunch of sounds I've made using the VA synth on the MPC5000. It is often dismissed or overlooked but the synth is really good and can do a lot."

"We buy, sell & trade vintage analog synthesizers, but you knew that already.
Here's a quick video we took while these items were on our test bench. As usual, we're not out to impress anyone with a good performance - all our youtube videos are thrown together in a completely half-assed manner. We just want people to hear examples of what the instruments we sell can sound like.
