"The volume of the bass drum is 30% - 50% louder than I usually have in my tunes.
This is just a demo of the Bassdrum Synthesizer. It's not about the sound aesthetics.
yes, the vocalist is Ras Tinny ;)

Tiptop Z-DSP Review + first look at Reverb FDN + 5 other FX (with MiniBrute 2, Una Corda, Valhalla)

"A full review of Tiptop Audio's Z-DSP including 6 FX cartridges: Halls of Valhalla, Dragonfly Delay, Spring Waves, Grain de Folie, Valhalla Shimmer and the upcoming Reverb FDN from anckorage

The Z-DSP is a stereo, cartridge based, open source, variable clock rate effects module. In this review I look at five of the existing effects cartridges, and a beta version of the upcoming Reverb FDN cartridge.

Each cartridge can contain up to 8 algorithms, and give you control over its parameters using 3 knobs. A clear LCD screen details the function of each of the knobs. Analog feedback is also available, with the ability to insert additional effects in the feedback loop. There's CV input for controlling the DSP's clock, and this can substantially impact the effect characteristics, for example, bit crushing a reverb, or pitch shifting a granular freeze.

I was initially interested in this module due the availability of the highly acclaimed Valhalla reverbs on it - however since additional cards are relatively inexpensive, it's nice to see the broad effects range this module can support.

In this clip I test the following modules:

1. Halls of Valhalla
2. Dragonfly Delay MK2
3. Grain de Folie
4. Spring Waves
5. Valhalla Shimmer
6. Reverb Feedback Delay Networks (beta)

Audio sources tested are:

1. Arturia MiniBrute 2
2. Una Corda by Native Instruments
3. Electric Sunburst by Native Instruments
4. Voice"

Voice vs Synthesizer: Ayako Kanda, Ron Anderson

Published on Mar 19, 2018 mylungpuppy

"Kong MS 20 Synthesizer vs Voice studio performance. Ayako Kanda (voice), Ron Anderson (Synthesizer).

Ayako Kanda is an improvising performer whose medium is her voice. Low as an echo in a tunnel, then light as a child's conversation; chasing the band one moment, and ringing out wild and alone the next: Ayako's vocal performances encompass a kaleidoscopic range of expression.

Ron Anderson is a guitarist, composer and improviser who plays traditional instruments like electric guitar but also anything that can make a sound, including a recording studio. He appears on over 70 releases and he has performed in over 20 different countries with multiple tours of North America, Europe and Japan.

"This video is simply me talking through my patching process on a small system as I go. It is a Eurorack music creation process video, not a tutorial, nor does it lead to a great song. It was recorded in one take, and I misspeak a few times, but it shows how I get started with a patch and get to something that I can start rehearsing with and iterating upon. Hope this is of interest."

"EML 101 in excellent working order. Recently given a complete and thorough service! It sounds amazing! Has a few blemishes on the exterior (wood chips). Serial number etched into faceplate and wood on keyboard as well. Was quite usual for these pieces were owned by universities, schools etc. Nonetheless its an amazing piece and is ready to roar."
