Popping Candy!

Moog Subharmonicon

More fun with the modular and Black Sequencer with added SyntrxII and Moog Subharmonicon. Gone for something a little more overtly ‘electronic’. Also really like my new Focusrite 18i20 4th Gen – I can now have (almost) all my synths plugged in . . . well, almost almost!

Just another Sunday afternoon . . .

Eurorack Modular 2025

Another Sunday afternoon with the Black Sequencer. Four channels from the modular – including the Verbos harmonic oscillator into a ring modulator, and also the Mannequins Mangrove oscilator/ Three Sisters filter. Also added Syntrx II and ARP2600. Lots of plugins of course! Notably Audiority Ursa Major Space Station emulation, Sound Toys Echo Boy, and a […]

Sleepless . . . new adventures with Black Sequencer

Studio setup showing Eurorack Modular, Syntrxii and Blacck sequencer plus additional synths

More adventures with Erica Synths Black Sequencer indeed! This time been messing with Mannequins Mangrove Oscillator, Just Friends and Three Sisters filter – so, mostly modular – a lot of the usual suspects – AJH, Tip Top and of course Syntrx II – oh and there is a bit of Korg ARP2600 in there too! […]

Ooooh! Black Sequencer

Erica Synths Black Sequencer

Just experimenting with a new sequencer – this is probably the most sophisticated one I have ever used – and I have quite a few. It is the Erica Synths Black Sequencer. What an amazing piece of kit! Running four outputs from my modular it really lends itself to performance, so this was just a […]

It’s About Time . . .

Pro Tools screen shot

Several sequences all of different lengths from the Arturia Keystep sequencer. Particularly pleased with the opening sound which is from the AJH V Shape – I really like this module! Other parts from Syntrx II (of course!), ARP 2600M and the now almost vintage Doepfer Dark Energy. Oh and Nightverb might be in there somewhere […]

Klee – My Favourite Sequencer 2

Klee Sequencer

Based around my favourite Eurorack sequencer, the Klee, which employs two shift registers and a somewhat quirky method of producing three separate gates and triggers which takes a bit of getting used to! The main sequences are going through the AJH V-Shape and out through NightVerb. The swirling pads are from Syntrx II and the […]

Even More SyntrxII + Nightverb

Erica Synths SyntrxII matrix

Keeping it ‘in the family’ this track was created with just Erica Synths SyntrxII and Nightverb – two passes. It is just so ‘hands on’ and has become my favourite synth (apart from my modular of course!).

More Adventures with SyntrxII + Nightverb

Erica Synths SyntrxII

Having lots of fun with Erica Synths Nightverb which here I am using with my SyntrxII. Five tracks recorded into ProTools and just a little delay from the synth – no other fx. Been searching for the ultimate reverb for a while, in both hardware and software and I think that Nightverb might just be […]

Number Stations

Inspired by the Cold War short-wave radio transmissions so carefully curated by The Conet Project, this track includes several of the well-known tunes that you would stumble across whilst scanning through short-wave radio.
