A new release from supporting member, Audio Illustrator aka New Man Studios/James Newman.
"Here is my last album ( Shades of Pink) for this year and is a collection of some of my music influenced by the sound of Pink Floyd, and Alan Parsons. Gear used on this album include, Behringer Model D, VC340, Moog Grandmother, OB SEMs, several Eurorack Modular systems as well as various VSTis.
*All music composed, performed, and produced by James Newman

"Welcome to the first video in a series where we'll be talking about drum and percussion synthesis. Throughout the series the Volca Drum will be used for the examples, but the ideas discussed will happily translate to many other synths.
We're kicking things off (ha ha) with kick drums - the centre-piece of beat based electronic music. Starting with the classic 'all-in-one-oscillator' approach, we'll expand on that to look at how having separate voices for the 'thwack' and 'boom' can really help you tailor your sound."
"The first Wilgamat 3 I modified in 2005. The second one is from 2019. Both were originally built in Italy around 1982. More information is at www.mysterycircuits.com"
"Create percussive polyrhythmic sequences or explore endless melodic variations. T-1 is an algorithmic MIDI sequencer which offers vast set of creative composition tools
About T-1
We set out to design a machine that can go beyond the limitations of a traditional sequencer, while maintaining a simple and user-friendly interface with no menu diving.
Focusing on fluid live performance and the possibility to modulate every parameter with random sequences.
The T-1 brings a completely new methodology for sequencing and many new avenues for musical inspiration and creativity.
With 16 polyphonic tracks, 16 rhythmic and melodic parameters, random modulation features, and live performance tools, the T-1 brings new inspiring content for your music making.
Main features
Euclidian rhythms
The core of T-1 is based on the euclidian algorithm, which lets you generate and explore a vast variety of rhythmic patterns
Play together
Wirelessly connect to other devices with our integration of Ableton Link. This will make sure that T-1 is playing in time with your DAW and all Link supported apps
Randomize
We have added pseudo-random modulation to every parameter, for creating endless musical variations. The randomness can be locked into loops, giving you more control
Keypad display
The multicolor keypads is used as a display showing parameter values and the state of the device
"Here we have the wonderful ZPO from SSF. It has a totally unique take on "thru zero" modulation that couples the frequency modulation with amplitude modulation. Enabling either the linear of exponential FM to go into the thru zero modulation also couples that modulation into the "zero point". The zero point offers level control in a bipolar fashion which can invert waves and provide ring modulation. Merging TZFM and TZAM alongside the other features such as sync, waveform morphing, 3 types of pulse width modulation, sub oscillators and some unique waveform outputs really elevates this as a powerful analogue oscillator.
