"A demo of what the mono's poly mode sounds like. Some eventide effects thrown in for good measure.

Doesn't seem to be many videos of the mono's poly mode online."

Within the Early Hours | Elektron Trinity Messaround


Published on Nov 4, 2012 by ipassenger

"Elektron and Nord jam I did in the wee hours last night.

Synth sounds mainly from Nord G2, sub bass tone coming from Waldorf Pulse+, drums mainly from MD plus a distorted bass tone and stab sound from Octa. Octa resampling and filtering."

Elektron Trinity Messaround

Published on Nov 2, 2012 by ipassenger

"Me having a mess-about on my three machines. Live jam, making it up as I go along.

Monomachine providing 3 synth sounds, Machinedrum doing the beats and the Octatrack resampling.

Only using one track from the 8T, 3 from the MnM and 4 from the MD.

It is more of a "my first vid" than anything special but comments welcome, better stuff to come."

Nord Patches Demo

"A few of my patches from the Nord Modular G2, mainly effect sounds and noise stuff with some weird sequence stuff in there too. Mainly patches but a couple of performances at the end."

"RARE vintage analog Multivox RHYTHM ACE drum machine model FR6M. There were two versions of this drum machine. One was considered a studio/home model and was in a finished wood cabinet (with no handle on top), and the other was the portable/gigging model, housed in a black Tolex-covered wood cabinet (with a handle mounted on top). This is the latter model, which I personally prefer and believe to be more rare (as I have seen far fewer of them)!

According to ads I've seen (some for sale on eBay actually!), I'm fairly certain that this is a pre-1970 model. Multivox was a rather mysterious American company that "borrowed" many of Roland's (a Japanese company) early synthesizers, drum machines, and other pro audio gear. Interestingly enough, this model (FR6M) is almost identical to the Roland TR 66, save for a few preset names/rhythms and a few of the faceplate graphics. Look up a Roland TR66 online- you'll see the striking resemblance!!! However, I cannot tell you whether this unit was manufactured in the USA or Japan. As far as I know, no one is certain whether Multivox simply rebadged Japanese Roland-made gear (in this case, the Roland TR66), or whether they copied the designs and schematics and manufactured them in the US..."

"A very powerful synthesizer module, classy and thoroughly professional. This is the rack version of the VZ-1 iPD synthesizer. Casio perfected the PD synthesis found in the CZ series, and the result offers impressive sounds. The character is very aggressive, digital, industrial, and powerful - similar to Yamaha's FM synthesis, but with a different, more aggressive character. Starting from a simple, pure sine wave (or different waveform), you can build very complex sounds. The on-board waveforms are among the purest I've ever heard on a synth. Very good cosmetic and working order. Comes with AC cord and RC-100 ROM card and Operation Manual."
