"This week’s episode of Patch Notes features a pummelling session from rising techno iconoclast Wallis. The producer, DJ and mastering engineer is fast becoming one of the most unique members of the Berlin scene, blending extremely hard and fast productions with sensual melodies and vocals.
This performance sees Wallis utilising her usual setup for live shows, which consists of modular synthesis, an Elektron Octatrak sampler, Arturia’s BeatStep Pro sequencer and guitar effects pedals. “I would say I am more on the West-coast end of the synthesis spectrum”, she explains. “I like very complex and somewhat surprising results because this is, in my opinion, how you get the most unique sounds, which is what modular synthesis is for me.”
“Modular is for me testing the limits of a system. It’s also about controlling those unpredictable outcomes, especially in my type of techno that really wants to be dance floor friendly at all times. It’s all about balance I guess. Making it as weird and interesting as possible but still pretty damn four to the floor, for the most part.”
Wallis is a resident at LSDXOXO’s Floorgasm. The first outdoor edition of the beloved party will take place this Saturday, August 29, at Berlin’s Trauma Bar Und Kino.

"Love the new midi update for #tardigrain. Now you can use its keyboard to play other #mpe enabled synths, too! Here playing itself as well as #quanta, #continua and #noiseapp at the same time. Visuals made with #Uzuapp."
"Awesome sounding vintage Sequential Circuits synth, similar ilk to a Juno 106 but features an Arpeggiator and two oscillators per voice.
Upgraded FATAR keybed - I replaced the old clackity keybed with a brand new fatar keybed (same style as used in the Moog Voyager, Nord etc) - so it has a beautiful playing action similar to a high end modern synth.
It is in fair cosmetic condition, with it's fair share of small scrapes and dings, and a bit of a chunk out of one of the side panels.
A few of the knobs are a bit scratchy - it could likely do with a bit of a service/clean, but I haven't found it completely necessary and just used it as is. Please be mindful of this before purchasing.
It sounds awesome, as you would expect from vintage Sequential Circuits gear!!"
"This MS-20 has treated me well over the years. It's been serviced and is the U.S. model, so you don't need any power converters, which is partially why I loved this version so much. I'm also including a waterproof SKB case."
