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!
Ailein Duinn
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 . . .
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 […]
Klee – My Favourite Sequencer 2
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
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.
My First Modular
I had been using soft synths for several years producing instrumental music but had the itch to be more ‘hands on’ rather than tweaking presets. So, what finally triggered my plunge into modular was in March 2011 discovering an extensive article in Sound On Sound (originally published in 2009)- ‘The SOS Guide To Choosing A […]
