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! […]

Op3 No.2

Avid Control in action

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!

Ailein Duinn

Loch Sunart on a stormy day

Sort of Folksynth! Similar in style to my synth version of The Cutty Wren, this time with a Gaelic flavour! Featuring various synths – mainly my Eurorack modular and SyntrxII recorded into Pro Tools. Hopefully plan to add a vocal – if I can find a Gaelic-speaking singer!

Variations on a Theme . . .

Studio view

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

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 […]

Latest Acquisition – AJH Sonic XV

AJH Sonic XV Filter

Just exploring the SonicXV from AJH. More than just a filter with wave shaping with a second waveshaper on the resonance circuit! Wow! The multi-tracked sequences are mostly going through the Sonic XV and the floaty stuff is from Syntrx2. I used various outputs from Mannequins Just Friends module to modulate the filter.

Audio Thing – Dub Filter

Audio Thing Dub Filter

Just upgraded from the Alberosie Dub Station to the new Vintage Dub Filter from Audio Thing. Seems a lot easier to get great results and more fully featured and sounds great! (Although I still like Alberosie for dubby repeats and for its raw charm!). Here on a sequence through the Thomas White LPG
