Korg DW-8000 with Roland SH-101 and Boss DR-110 jamsession
Published on Mar 18, 2019 synthlegends
"First of all: sorry for the poor video quality. I had no sufficient available ligth today. In this small improvisation I triggered my SH-101 through my DR-110 and played also the DW-8000. For the synths I used the internal delay which I routed through my BOSS CE-2w and from there in stereo to my Strymon BIG SKY. So the Korg and the SH shared the same FX settings. The BOSS DR-110 got a bit EQ from Logic Pro X. Thats all. Thanks for watching!"
Multi-tracking a modular into a 4-track
Published on Mar 18, 2019 TheTechnobear
"so, this weeks AE modular challenge was X, the number 10... to celebrate it being the 10th challenge!
I decided that to meet this challenge, Id create 10 patches on the AE modular, so the track would be solely made on the AE modular.
Obviously, I needed to multi-track to do this, but decided to stay away from the computer...
Instead, I decided to use a Tascam 244, that I had bought and repaired a few months back,
and whilst Ive used it a bit before, I wanted to challenge myself with it....
... creating 10 tracks on a 4-track, seemed like a good idea at the time ;)
perhaps unsurprisingly, this turned out to be a bit more of a challenge than I expected!
the workflow was not that difficult, its a matter of just keeping track of which tracks are your 'masters',
and so which tracks you have to record on, and the Tascam 244's EQ is really useful!.
it all started ok...
Id create a patch, play it live, record it.
rinse and repeat,
when I ran out of tracks, Id usually bounce and record at the same time.
cool...
but about half way thru, it became apparent, with a 4-track you really need to have a plan :)
you are continually having to commit on things like levels and EQ (to free up tracks),
but I wasn't even sure where the track was heading or what the next patches (so sounds) might be.
... and even half way thru, I had a pretty dense track!
so next time, I'll defintely think it thru first, Ideally have some kind of 'timeline' in my head, so that there are spaces to slot new things in, to let the track breath a bit.
but it was a lot of fun, and I definitely learnt a few things along the way,
I look forward to giving it another ago some time soon :)"

Rare S3n0Я (Senor) - Dr. Ummod Roland TR-909 Eurorack Module
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is a very rare 6 voice Roland Tr-909 Eurorack module. There are only about 5+ of these that will ever be made and Señor is impossible to even contact so this is a true rarity. This module was made by Russian engineering mastermind S3n0Я (Senor) with the hats made by Ryk TheKreator. I bought this off happily for exactly what I am selling it for from Russian synth wizard Fedor Vetkalov.
Fedor uses synths with the like of Depeche Mode among others. This is what Fedor had to say about Senor's modules - "his modules are the most amazing and I heard all of them"
He loved this module and tested it against an authentic Tr-909 concluding "the ummod kick, snare are almost 100% identical to the 909 hats are different.
Custom drum-voice with kick (with updates), snare, clap, rimshot from 909 and dual "liquid hi-hats" from Ryk Thekreator with VCA & decay."
You can find previous posts featuring S3n0Я including demos here.
