Paolo of SynthMania walks though his live setup at KnobCon 2018

Published on Sep 10, 2018 Marshal Arnold

You can check out SynthMania's performance in video four of the playlist here.

"On Friday 9/7/2018 I caught up with Paolo from Synth Mania at KnobCon 2018. He was asked by the Suit and Tie Guy (who organizes the KnobCon events) to perform this at this year's opening night! Paolo was very kind to take a few minutes and walk through his gear setup for the show!

For convenience while traveling Paolo brought a small rig that features a Korg MicroStation, a Novation Circuit and a Korg monologue, a TC-Helicon Mic Mechanic 2 and a Sure SM58 microphone all connected through a Yamaha MG06X mixer Don't let the size fool you, his set sounded HUGE and had many people dancing their butts off during the classic Techno that Paolo is very good at producing."

Knobcon: Polyfusion Modular Synthesizer Returning After 40 Years

Published on Sep 10, 2018 Synthtopia

Some fascinating history with early Moog Music covered in this one.

"Here's an interview with one of the creators of the classic Polyfusion 2000 modular system, Ron Folkman.

Folkman is working with partners Jim Soloman and Jammie Logan to reissue the original system, and to create a new line of updated modules. They were showing the 1979 Polyfusion 'monster' of Toto's Steve Porcaro, 'Darius'.

Synth master Matt Baxley, aka Moot Booxle
(https://www.youtube.com/user/mootbooxle), also stopped by to check out the vintage Polyfusion monster synth."

"By popular request, I've uploaded a movie from my Learning Modular: Level 1 starter course on phase shifting, using the Roland 578 Phaser/Chorus/Gate Delay module. It breaks down this way:

00:00 overview of external effects
00:36 patch breakdown
01:16 phase shifting basics
03:03 using an external LFO
04:06 using a mod wheel to control LFO rate
05:11 using a mod wheel for the wet/dry mix
05:52 using a mod wheel to directly control the phase shift
