"Demoing some drum sounds. I love the groove and sounds from this machine - it's capable of deep and sharp drum sounds. The sounds are mixed dry with the Oto bim and boss rlc compressor in parallel"

"iNDEX05 is the fifth DiN compilation album and includes two tracks each from the titles DiN41 - 49. The artists on show this time are Ian Boddy, Node, ARC, Dave Bessell (one of the members of Node) and collaborations between Parallel Worlds & Dave Bessell, Ian Boddy & Markus Reuter, Erik Wøllo & Bernhard Wöstheinrich and Parallel Worlds & Self Oscillate.

As with the previous four DiN samplers DiN label boss Ian Boddy has mixed and cross-faded the 18 tracks into a continuous ambient mix that not only showcases the albums featured on the release but presents an exciting and varied title in its own right. It also highlights the varied and intriguing music that the DiN label offers on its releases from deep analogue synth grooves through vibrantly melodic instrumentals to powerful, epic ambient atmospheres. An intoxicating mix of the old and new beautifully presented in a slimline cardboard wallet with an extra flap which just adds to the value and collectibility of this release.

This compilation edited from the original tracks by Ian Boddy - January 2016"

New Knobs For Sequential Circuits Prophet Line of Synths

via new MATRIXSYNTH Member, techsmechs. Click here for details on how to order them.

"I bought a Prophet-5 where the black caps were painted black… it looked absolutely awful. Searching the web for replacement knobs (like I’m sure many of you Prophet owners have) only turned up extremely expensive old stuff, which usually was “out of stock” anyway. I did get hold of some original replacement knobs, but these were pretty scratchy and worn too.

I decided to fix this! I had a company re-manufacture the aluminum cap to the exact original dimensions. (I also looked into making the plastic knob part, but then I realized most people already have these and they usually look ok).

The old caps are easy to replace, they basically pop off with the help of a knife blade. There is a little dot of glue in there that doesn’t provide much resistance:)

Now, only the more high end SCI gear (Prophet-5, Prophet-10, T8 etc) had the fancy knobs with aluminum caps. The more low end stuff (Pro-One, Prophet-600 etc) only had the plastic part of the knob, with a simple painted white indicator line. The best part is that now you can pimp these models too! As far as I know, ALL vintage (80s) Sequential Circuits gear used the same plastic knobs, with this cap being the only difference."

Distortotron - 1993 analog downsampler, bitreducer, overdrive

Published on May 29, 2016 Bastl Instruments

"Distortotron was made in 1993 by Psybe - Svein Berge and Henrik Sundt"

"Bastl Instruments in cooperation with Mental Overdrive made a documentation of a unique piece of electronic music equipment from 1993 called Distortotron. They created a short film to trace the origins of the instrument and provided sound demos.

Distortotron is an effects processor: downsampler, bitreducer and clipping overdrive. It was made in 1993 in Norway by Svein Berge and Henrik Sundt a.k.a. PSYBE for a Tromsø based musician Per Martinsen a.k.a. Mental Overdrive. The concept for such instrument came from the need to bring back the aliasing and noise of early 80s samplers and it heavily formed the sound of Mental Overdrive’s debut album Plugged released in 1995 which became the landmark of the so called Tromsø sound. The album got re‐relased in 2016 on Prins Thomas’ label Rett I Fletta.

The Distortotron inspired Václav Peloušek of Bastl Instruments to design eurorack module called T romsø.

note: Svein Berge is NOT the guy from Röyksopp – just has the same name More information about Distortotron [link]

Mental Overdrive album Plugged from 1995 is reissued on Rett I Fletta label Reissue info: [link]
