"This Matrix 12 has just been fully serviced and is in excellent working condition. All the parameters have been tested and everything works!
The self-test reads all OK (ram, rom, tuning, dac etc)
All the push buttons are working perfectly, no need to press it hard to have it working. All the potentiometers have been cleaned, there is no self-rotation on the display( number self behaving) that would sometimes happen on other Matrix 12 or Xpander (this is a rather common issue and it might be a problem for live performance).
The keyboard is velocity responsive and all the keys work well. The levers have been taken care of, the mod/pitch zero level point is well set."
"Modal Electronics 008 8-Voice 61-Key Analog Synthesizer. Amongst the top polysynths in existence, the Modal 008 is a highly versatile fully analogue synth, made with top quality discreet components. Only 300 made. Two 100% analogue VCO’s per voice with two sub oscillators, 15 multi-mode filter. Over 10,000 patch storage locations, onboard sequencer, multi-effects unit (the only digital part of the signal path), a second parameter sequencer called the 'animator', USB in/out, extra analogue inputs for processing other signals, and an incredible 18 position multimode filter with a lot of fizzle and warmth awaits you. Most interestingly, the 008 has a built in web-interface editor that allows you to edit complete patches . This synth has a completely unique sound, and rivals the likes of the Moog One in breadth and complexity."
"hello! a quick sound example followed by a couple of notes on useful params to play with if you're one of the lucky 5 who are getting one of these; and, update! I'd like to maybe put this up as a kit on thonk. let me know in the comments if you'd be interested to buy one, I dont know the exact price yet but it'll probably be a mid-price module, neither cheap nor outrageous. yeah, anyway, just wanted to guage interest. cheers! #plinky #diy #thonk #eurorack #synth #kit"
"Fifty patches for ARGON8 from James Dyson turn your ARGON8 in a space ship to endeavour unknown galaxies and new planets far away. This compilation is available from our MODAL website."
"Shaping your samples is a great way to get the most tonality and textures quickly out of one sample. With formant shaping you’re able to pull several textural qualities out of your audio in real-time. This can them be used in your music or sound design."
"The third in our new series of live sessions filmed behind closed doors by Fact at 180 The Strand is a cathartic set of raw acid house and techno from Paranoid London, the hardware-heavy project of Quinn Whalley and Gerardo Delgado.
When Paranoid London first emerged in 2007, their music provided a gritty counterpoint to the European minimal sounds and disco edits that proliferated at the time, and their vinyl-only releases gained them underground success at a time when the format was in decline.
In the 13 years since, the project has been host to a rotating cast of guest vocalists, including A Certain Ratio’s Simon Topping, Arthur Baker, Josh Caffe and the late trans activist and DJ, Bubbles Bubblesynski. On this performance they’re joined by regular collaborator Mutado Pintado with visuals by Bob Jaroc.
Classic drum machines and synths such as the Roland TR-808, TR-909 and SH-101 lie at the heart of their setup, with acid lines provided by the Cyclone Analogic TT-303 Bass Bot. Effects come from a host of cheap Korg Monotron Delay units, which slather vocals and synths in a grimy echo.
Paranoid London’s latest album, 2019’s PL, is available now. You can find the rest of their catalogue, including their ongoing series of edits, at Bandcamp."
