Beat No. 167

Published on Jul 22, 2018 Helmut

"Trap beat with my old modular setup. Any change in the Joystick position will gate the melodic part. X and Y modulate wavetable position and OSC pitch on the Piston Honda MK2. The beat is Peaks Hats 909 and Varigate 8+. Good old Scooper chopping and screwing ;)"

How a recording-studio mishap shaped '80s music

Published on Aug 18, 2017 Vox

Gear talk comes in at 3:56 with the AMS RMX16 reverb rack unit, followed by the Linn LM1. Interesting bit of music history. LM1 gets the post.

"Warning: This is an unapologetic ode to gated reverb drums

Here's a Spotify playlist of some of the best gated reverb songs: http://spoti.fi/2vH7ZZL

Over the past few years a general nostalgia for the 1980s has infiltrated music, film, and television. I deeply love those gated reverb drums of the '80s - you know that punchy percussive sound popularized by Phil Collins and Prince? So for my second episode of Vox Pop’s Earworm I spoke with two Berklee College of Music professors, Susan Rogers and Prince Charles Alexander, to figure out just how that sound came to be, what makes it so damn punchy, and why it’s back.

Correction: At 2:01, a previous version of the video mistakenly said the noise gate only lets frequencies above a certain threshold pass through. We should’ve said “amplitudes” instead of “frequencies.” The error has been rectified.

At 3:45 we noted that plate reverb boxes were made using aluminum. In fact, they were usually made of steel."
