Election Day Jam

Published on Nov 6, 2018 Henry Birdseye Jr.

"I'd been tinkering with this for a couple days and thought it was time to record it. Still trying to NOT use the BSP except for drums.

The new love of my life is the Doboz XIIO, an apreggiator with eight pads on which you can program specific notes. I like how short sequences sound on the Rings from the XIIO (Xeee-yoh?)

I programmed the 2 rows of 4 notes like this:
Bb2 B 2 C#3 Eb3
Eb3 A 2 Ab2 F#3
and dance around the pads, while I play mostly black keys on the kayboard. The key board voice is a nice, fat, 3 VCOs (Z3000, Erika Back Waveshape VCO and a Braids running the HARM model) running thru a Korgasmatron dual filter whose cutoff is managed with a Koma Kommannder. The Beatstep Pro is only playing drums. A third voice is a Doboz Prizma controlling an E350 Morphing Terrarium and a simple pulse wave thru an E440 filter.

The voice mangling is clips stored on a micro SD card in a Disting Mk3 that runs into a Dervish DSP and that goes ito a Z5000 for more reverb and looping."

Derelict (Axoloti synth, OP1 as a controller)

Published on Nov 6, 2018 ludotex

"Just started messing around with Axoloti. At first I got it to make a portable reverb for the OP1. But it's more fun to make a synth out of it AND a reverb/delay. It's a Blade Runner synth :)

All sounds are coming from the Axoloti, the OP1 is just sending midi (notes and CC for the pots). Straight to the recorder you see on the image.

The patch is a drone, some sine wave, a saw, noise, some subtle lfos, some chorus, reverb and tape delay."

Kitchen Jam: Toraiz AS-1 / Digitone / Digitakt

Published on Nov 6, 2018 Stochastic Design

"Just a small jam with the Toraiz AS-1 providing the meandering resonant arpeggio generated by the crazy FutureRetro Zillion shift register sequencer.

The AS-1 was a pleasant surprise - it's built like a tank and contains one amazing synth voice from the Prophet 6. We're currently investigating the sound capabilities to its fullest, so be prepared for a sound exploration video in the near future!"

Kenton Pro Solo Mk3 — SynthFest 2018

Published on Nov 6, 2018 Sound On Sound magazine

"Modular synths are everywhere and with the popularity of the Eurorack format, they largely exist as part of a single, unified ecosystem. However, if you want to control your modular synth rig from a more traditional piece of MIDI gear, then you have a problem as Eurorack modules are generally controlled by control voltage (CV). SOS Reviews Editor Matt Houghton took a brief look at the new Kenton Pro Solo Mk3 at the recent SynthFest UK — an update to a well-loved problem-solving device.

Kenton have made a name for themselves as purveyors of useful boxes (converters, splitters etc.) for synth users and their Pro Solo Mk3 is featured accordingly. It keeps all the features of the Mk2 which Gordon Reid reviewed way back in 2006, including MIDI Thru, 16-bit D-A conversion for solid pitch performance and couple of AUX outputs for controlling parameters such as VCF, PWM or VCAs from an external controller.

The Mk3 provides three AUX outputs, each available on its own 3.5mm jack, giving you even greater control over different elements of your pre-MIDI or modular set up.

It’s set to be available very soon with a UK price tags of £158.40."

"**ALL MUSIC IN REVIEW (Except drums) CREATE ON THE IK UNO**

Hey guys and gals, so better late than never am I right? LOL. So I finally got my hands on the IK Multimedia Uno. I personally wanted to try it our for quite a while, IK has such a long history making great software that I had to see what they’d bring to the hardware market. I bought this at Guitar Center myself so don’t worry, this isn’t sponsored and maybe it shows in my review, but that’s what I like doing. Anyways, enjoy the haunting and FINAL episode of OMSR. Love you all :)"

Antique black? Funny what people come up with. Pics of the inside below.

"Auctioning this Paia 3760 keyboard synthesizer. Most parts work. The octave switch only works on the last two settings. And not sure how the finger board thing works but I've tried using it and it doesn't seem to do much. But the speaker works and has great sound. The clips that hold the front keyboard lid onto the main case, the brackets are broken. The back lid brackets are still functional."
