Ruin & Wesen Minicommand batch ready

via the Ruin & Wesen blog:

"It's been a really long time, but we finally received the missing encoders (had to switch distributors due to the crisis). This means that we have about 90 Minicommands ready to go (actually, we have about 20 wooden boxes left, the new boxes should be arriving in 2 weeks)."

Oakley Discontinuity Module Graphs

synth.nl has a post showing graphs of what the Oakley Discontinuity Module can do to audio input.

"The controls I used in the examples below are: Treshold, Fold, Discontinuity and Offset. I only use the normal output (so not the Clamp or Clip) and I put a Triangle wave from the PC function generator on the input."

Rolands Random Adventures in D# Minor part 1

YouTube via phono1337
"Live acid written completely on the fly. Using an SH-101, MC-202, TB-303, TR-606 and TR-909. Just a bit of fun.

The MC-202 runs the show as Roland originally intended. The TR-606 is silent but controlling the SH-101 filter with triggers.

Everything is random including the camera angle :-)

If you like this you can download an mp3 of the jam here (not including the writing part)

Roland R8 MKII pattern editing R-8 drum machine

YouTube via buchla300
"Just showing how cool the Roland R8 sequencer is. Many just use it as a straight ahead drum machine, but t's when you start doing realtime pitch/decay/pan/nuance/velocity editing that it becomes cool.
Pitching and changing the pan and decay of the individual sounds after they have been recorded.
I used this zillions of times with Andrea Parker for her stuff and remixes we did and for my own stuff. I know the guys from Autechre and many other artists used one . Great box.
The R8 MKII has more built in sounds and more memory. Worth finding over the MKI version."
