The proverbial pikkusormi to the paholainen. The original Roland CR-78 is the sound of my late childhood and early teenagedom, if there is such a word. A really recognisable set of drum sounds from the early synth music I was listening to, much more special to me than the otherwise legendary X0X machines. Ultravox / […]
Quite a few eurorack demos and tutorials have featured this one, so I thought I’d give it a go. As far as sequencers go, this is quite nice. Full set of features, each step can be edited individually. Can’t really think of anything that’s lacking. Like it a lot so far, let’s see.
Things kinda got out of hand. Now I’ve got enough Eurorack modules to keep me learning for years. We all know, though, that there will be more, but I’m seriously trying to cut down. Also sold a lot of stuff I haven’t used, so that’s good. Still have the studio split in two, with the […]
Corrects, or I like to say “standardises”, the frequency response of my monitors. Few things are game changers, this one is. It essentially makes the music sound the way it should. You calibrate it by making it listen to your monitor setup from 21 different spots around where your head is where you are listening, […]
Another Behringer vintage synth clone, and these are so dirt cheap it boggles the mind. Behringer really delivers, these things pack such a punch for the price it’s amazing, and they are constantly pumping out new ones.
We had had a couple of live gigs at the office, and looked like there were going to be more. After one gig, I placed the Genelec subwoofer on a table, and the table surface just flipped around and the sub dropped to the floor and got a small dent. The horror, the horror. So […]
Thought this might earn a special mention, although I don’t list Eurorack related items here. It’s a really nice Eurorack enclosure with a keyboard with support for quadrophonic sound (depending on how you patch, of course) as a bonus. It features an arpeggiator, LFO, keyboard transpose and keyboard split, and is as such a compact […]
Time to move, even 150 meters appears to be quite the chore. Double the floor space, but the studio still didn’t get its own room. This time I actually opted for a split studio, half of the stuff in the livingroom and the other half in the bedroom. The livingroom has the modular stuff, and […]
Behringer came out with a number of cheap modules, so here we go. “Roland” and “ARP 2500” in nice TipTop enclosures. The semi-portability makes this perfect for, say, patching in bed.
Oh no I didn’t…? Yep, I did… Rev 4, to be exact. There it is, with its pal. I didn’t actually get two; the first one had a broken USB chip, or something, so I returned it and got another one, but not in that order. Here it is with its other pal.
