Playlist:
myhrman - machinedrum + ableton jam 2009-07-17
"One of my first live jams with the Elektron Machinedrum and Ableton live. Trying to improve my very limited live jamming skills. This is a single pattern playing in machinedrum and a single scene playing in Live. MD does the drums and ableton does the rest."

myhrman - machinedrum jam 2009-07-20
"A techno / minimal jam using only the machinedrum sps-1 UW MKII. Not so much tweaking going on, just some basic muting/unmuting of parts in beginning, then playing with distortion and delay feedback. Recorded straight out of the MD."

myhrman - machinedrum + access virus B jam 2009-07-21
"Jamming around with a house tune created using only machinedrum and access virus B desktop. I'm still just playing around with a single pattern each time I jam. I should learn to switch between patterns soon =) Memory card in camera became full around 4:30 mark, hence the lack of video there."

myhrman - minimal jam 2010-07-04
"A jam session with my Machinedrum, Monomachine and Virus. Minimal techno / house / dub / whatever."
http://soundcloud.com/jmyhrman/myhrman-jam-2010-07-04
"A quick jam session with machinedrum, monomachine and virus. Had a nice pattern going and couldn't be bothered to arrange a track out of it. Captured the jam session with my iPhone instead.

I had to hold the phone with my left hand, so couldn't really do anything advanced (==press function key) during the performance. Mostly muting/unmuting of tracks."

The first part of the book is dedicated to synthesizers and what makes them work. Part two is comprised of synth 'clinics'- DX-7, Oberheim Xpander, CZ-101, JX8P+, & JX10 synths are discussed here. Part 3 delves into the finer parts of synth programming- from frequency cutoffs to pitch control to voltage regulation."
