Arturia Drumbrute Sessions by kAbLe HeAd

Published on Dec 11, 2016 kAbLe HeAd

Individual outs for each drum part allow you to use different effects for each drum part. Something to consider when picking up a new drum machine.

Playlist:

1. Arturia Drumbrute + 11 Effect Pedals - Session 1

"This session took quite some time to set up. Each individual output of the Drumbrute (except the metronome) is connected to a different effect pedal. Lots of cables and power supplies were involved.

I had to dig up my old crackling Behringer mixer which is not optimal for this task because half of the inputs are stereo channels. So i had to mono the whole mix in the recording device because otherwise half of the instruments would be panned hard left or right. I wish i had a mixer with more channels but for now this had to do the job.

There is another reverb pedal under the table which is connected to the aux send of the mixer.

Pedals used:
Kick 1 - WMD Geiger Counter
Kick 2 - Electro-Harmonix Black Finger
Snare - Boss CS-3
Clap - Digitech Supernatural
Hihats - Electro-Harmonix Neo Mistress
Rim - Boss DD-7
Hi Tom - Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail
Lo Tom - Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy
Cymbal - Boss AW-3
Maracas - Mid-Fi Electronics Pitch Pirate
Zap - Red Panda Particle
Aux send - Hardwire RV-7"

Sequential Circuits Pro One Synthesizer w/Vesta Kozo CV/Midi MDI-1 & Shrooms

via this auction

Spot the mushrooms on the circuit board.

"This Sequential Circuits Pro-One is in amazing condition and fully functional, and is Midi-Capable via INCLUDED Vesta Kozo Midi-CV converter. It is a fully and professionally restored Late-Model with fully-functioning Keyboard. This is all-original, with NO modified circuitry or re-soldered components. All rotary pots and switches have been professionally cleaned. All key contacts on this later non-J-wire model have been restored and functioning. Everything works and sounds great. While no vintage synth is ever "truly" mint or perfect, this one has been well cared for and not cosmetically re-finished. Incredibly clean unit inside and out. Original Power cord (does not use AC wall adapter).

If you are shopping for this synth, it probably needs no introduction, but obviously it has an amazing sound, midi-syncable programmable arpeggiator and sequencer via CLK input, and incredible-sounding filter, controls, and modulations you would expect from an analogue synth of this era.

This specific model has the coveted "Buddha" circuitboard with interesting and cryptic solder "signatures" inside, including mushrooms,etc.. on the main board, created by the original SC assembly engineers. (see photos). Numbers and markings were made by factory technicians, and I've enclosed photos of those as well.

The late-model keyboard is fully operational and restored with all keys functioning fine, but I have included with the unit the rare and unusual Vesta Kozo MDI-1 midi-to-CV converter so it can be immediately used with any midi-capable or computer/midi sequencer-based system. This unit alone had several hundred in Value, but it's a great match with the synthesizer providing midi capability.

The unit is in excellent condition with virtually no scratches or wear, other than some light wear on the original wooden sides. Case, plastic, knobs are in fantastic condition."

DreamsOfWires - Arturia Minibrute SE 'Berlin School...ish'

Published on Dec 16, 2016 DreamsOfWires

"I've not been too well recently, colds etc, so I've made no new music or videos. Therefore, to puncture the silence, I thought I'd upload something that never made it onto my YouTube channel - I uploaded it to Soundcloud originally, but never recorded any video for it. I don't own the Minibrute anymore, it was a casualty of my financial situation, but it was good instrument, and some things it excelled at, such as it's playability - smooth sliders for all the waveforms, built in SH101-style sequencer etc.

This track was recorded using just the Minibrute, no other instruments, no MIDI, just an iPad for the muti-track recording and some delay/reverb, but I don't remember which apps. It was improvised starting with the sequence, then other parts were overdubbed onto it. It was a very quick recording. Enjoy... I hope."

Update: video added above.

iTunes: Pads - Lush Pad Synthesizer - Klevgränd produkter AB

"Pads is basically a wavetable synthesizer with a noise/grain generator and a high cut filter. With a carefully developed ”wobbler” that detunes the waveforms and makes small inconsistencies to several internal parameters and a nice sounding chorus, this synthesizer is able to create some really interesting and non-statical pad sounds.

Noteworthy features:

• AUv3, works with AUv3 compatible hosts like GarageBand, Cubasis, Auria, AUM etc.

• 30 handcrafted presets created by professional musicians

• Filter, Attack and volume can be modulated by velocity
