Adventures with the Wellspring!

Well, I finally caved in and sprung for a Wellspring! Such an amazing piece of kit. This track was its first outing although I should also say various plugins were also used on this track. Most of the sequencing is my Eurorack Modular and the but also featured is my SyntrxII and Moog Subharmonic on. […]
Per Modular ad Astra!

More modular and Black Sequencer! Oscillators AJH and Verbos Harmonic Oscillator. AJH filters and V-Shape in there. Syntrx II of course and a little bit of Moog Subharmonicon. Lots of other stuff going on in ProTools of course!
Popping Candy!

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 . . .

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

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! […]
Op3 No.2

A bit of festive Classitronica! An exhilarating slice of Baroque – Handel’s Concerto Grosso Opus 3 No.1. Here featuring Eurorack modular, SyntrxII and Korg ARP2660M – lots of fun!
Variations on a Theme . . .

Developed from the track in my last post, I slowed the tempo right down and extended the progression and worked on some additional sounds. The Erica Synths Black Sequencer makes so much difference as I can now work on four tracks simulataneously rather than having to build up the track from separate passes from mono […]
Ooooh! 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 . . .

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 […]
Even More SyntrxII + Nightverb

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!).
