Their event tagline? Possibly the best ever:

"No Twerking, Only Tweaking"

If anyone attends let us know how it went. Below is a video for the Novation Bass Station II that went up on their YouTube channel. Back in July they posted one for the new KORG Arp Odyssey.

Patch Jam 6: Live Eurorack Modular Techno

Published on Sep 25, 2015 abstractjuz

"Some cuts from my last live modular jam.
Been spending some time with a borrowed 'Radio Music' - so this jam was all about the vocal samples.
All live, all modular, all audio recorded straight off the rig with no post-processing or effects.
Thanks - enjoy!"

ROLAND JD-XA // All Factory Presets // Bank D // Arpeggios & Other Stuff

"Testing the presets of brandnew ROLAND JD-XA. BANK D: Arpeggios & Other Stuff.

Using arpeggios and preset sequences if there are any preprogrammed. Tweaking occasionally. JD-XA does not contain any drum kits as its smaller and cheaper sibling is providing. If there are any drums to be heard they're mostly programmed from scratch with the internal sound engines -- both digital and analog.

More thoughts about the synth:
Many options. But it is a little bit the JD800 problem: the basic sound is quickly edited but the fine tuning takes hours because you have to step thru hundreds of parameters in a 2-line-display (without dial!!!).

No computer editor!
The sequencer is almost the same as in JD-Xi with the same flaws. It crashes frequently and it DOES NOT TRANSPOSE! I hope Roland will fix and implement this with the next update.

About the integration of digital and analog section: The routing is a bit confusing to me but once you managed to lea a digital sound through the analog section it sounds very nice. The digital waves are also well chosen and sounding. For understanding the concept: There are two synths -- one digital, one analog -- that only share the housing and the FX. As a consequence you cannot choose a digital waveform in your analog synth you can only lead a complete sound of the digital machine through the analog section for sound enhancement.

But all in all it is a versatile well sounding synth!"

Moon 569 Reset + Skip Tests

Published on Sep 25, 2015 John L Rice

"I was getting some interesting patterns by using multiple steps on the 4th row to reset the first row and skipping a couple steps on the first row at the same time.

Just a quick example of how playable and versatile the Moon Modular 569 Quad Sequential Voltage Source truly is! :-)"
