Well Sprung!

Wellspring Reverb and Delay

More adventures using the Wellspring Reverb with my modular! So, for this track we have the usual suspects including the use of the Tone Science/AJH Chance Delay – using it to randomise additional passes from the modular. SyntrxII of course is also in there as are Korg 2600M and Moog Subharmonicon. Although I rarely use […]

Adventures with the Wellspring!

Wellspring Reverb Unit

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. […]

Album: Saint-Ex – An Electronic Odyssey  – Revisited

Alnum Cover: Saint-Ex

Although released a few of years ago, I thought it might be good to provide some background to the album. Wind Sand And Stars is a wonderful and poetic book by the enigmatic author and pioneering aviator, Antoine de Saint Exupéry and was the inspiration for this album. It is one of my all-time favourite […]

How it started . . . .

Comparison of my Eurorack Modular between 2011 and 2025

The picture on the left was taken in May 2011 at the start of my ‘modular journey’. The right hand picture was taken today. Quite a lot of changes although I still have the Tip Top Audio oscillators and the Doepfer A-147 LFO Things developed rapidly as the picture below was taken just a month […]

Cloudscape

Modular in the couds

Lots of dreamy stuff going on here – mostly Eurorack modular of course with a little Subharmonicon. Also using the excellent Tone Science Chance Delay from AJH, AJH oscillators and Verbos Harmomic Oscillator. Effects include the Polyverse Comet reverb – which I keep forgetting I have, Eventide Phaser and of course Nightverb – and spot […]

Per Modular ad Astra!

Avid S1 surface and Avid Control

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!

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!

Snowdrops – A Touch of Spring!

Studio room

Yes, a touch of spring – reverb! Have been trying out various spring reverb plugins, trying to convince myself that I don’t need a Wellspring – although it must be the coolest bit of audio hardware out there at the moment! So latest trial is Softube Spring Reverb – and seems pretty good so far. […]

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!
