Sequential In The Spotlight Interview with BETAMAXX

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"Betamaxx is an 80’s synth revival project by Nick Morey, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania U.S.A. The project was formed in mid-2012 with the release of the Lost Formats LP in September of that year. The name “Betamaxx” was contrived from Sony’s “Betamax” video player from the mid-80’s. Betamaxx’s sound is inspired and created with analog and digital synths from the 80’s and today. They include Roland’s Juno-60, Sequential’s Prophet-6, and Korg’s M1 workstation. Combining these sounds with a soundtrack inspiration in mind, Betamaxx has created a neo retro-future sound similar to the likes of John Hughes and John Carpenter. He has been featured on such works as the Kung Fury official soundtrack, and the Amazon prime series Red Oaks. His most notable remix was Tangerine Dream’s “Love on a Real Train” from the Risky Business soundtrack.

We chatted with Nick on how he’s using the Prophet-6 in his music."

Plankton Nutone dual tube VCA 2/2: in use (LMS EE)

Published on Oct 14, 2019 Learning Modular

"The Plankton Nutone is a dual tube VCA based on the Korg Nutube: compact fluorescent displays re-engineered to act as micro vacuum triode tubes. In this movie, I demonstrate using it as a VCA, as a saturator, as the two put together, and show how to add performance control to the depth of saturation:

00:00 overview
00:15 initial patch
00:53 using as a VCA
02:04 VCA with saturation on peaks
03:25 using as a saturator
04:56 demo
07:14 feedback
09:20 conclusion

The other movie [posted here] includes an extended no-talking demo of the Nutone, and studies how it changes the incoming waveform at different levels of drive.

Both movies are also part of the Learning Modular Eurorack Expansion course (https://learningmodular.com/register/...). Learning Modular Patreon supporters at the +5v level and above (https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular) also have access to supplemental posts for both movies in this series."

Waldorf Kyra - Test 2

"Do you like fresh fish?
It's just fine at Finney's Diner.
Finney also has some fresher fish
that's fresher and much finer.
But his best fish is his freshest fish and Finney says with pride,
"The finest fish at Finney's
is my freshest fish, French-fried!"

SO . . .
don't order the fresh
or the fresher fish.
At Finney's, if you're wise,
you'll say,
"Fetch me the finest
French-fried freshest
fish that Finney fries!"

Also this is the antithesis of test 1."
