1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Reaktor Creations (31st October @ 00:55) Over the last few months I have been doing alot of jamming but I have however been creating some nice instruments in Reaktor. Firstly is my beast of a synth "Faxinator(dl)" this has 8 oscilators (individual filters, pitch envelopes, pulse width/pitch & filter lfos), 8 filters, 8 lfos and oscilocopes everywhere - this is real nice synth however when using effects the cpu usage creaps up a fair bit. Next there was the "Fax Machine(dl)" which was a simple 4 voice drum machine - it houses synchronised random modulation amounts to every parameter including the master clock (which is very fun). I was then looking for another "Faxinator(dl)" synth but a more slim line model, the "Faxoog(dl)" was created which housed 4 oscilators, 2 filters, 2 lfos, 3 envelopes, Ring Modulation, Mod / Gate Sequencer - the original idea of design was obviously the Moog and although the sounds are quite different the look is kinda similar :) Lastly there is the "FaxVCS3(dl)" which you should be able to guess is a replica of the EMS VCS3 this isnt finished yet as the modulation wiring is going to be a very long job and ill need to do it in 1 go otherwise ill mess it up. Its been a while (29th October @ 20:42) As the title says its been sometime since I have done any posts, recently I have purchased a sweet Boss VF-1 which is a beast of a effects unit ! Im only using it for reverbs on my x0xb0x but it frees up the Viscount EFX-10 which I now soley use with my Roland MC-202. Theres a few new patterns made on the x0x which is always fun to jam with, check the video out below :D Click here to show/hide content x0xb0x - The Beast (3rd July @ 13:56) Ive been after a TB-303 for quite some time now but as the prices are well over £1000 I decided to go for the next best thing, a x0xb0x. After looking around there are many people selling their own custom builds on ebay, however I wanted to make sure it was a professional build and then I came across The Beast and after some research on x0xb0x official forums it was apparent that this guy had some good reputation and his site clearly shows that he is experienced with modding the original TB-303, TR-606 it also stated that he used the exact components of the original which most (if not all) x0xb0x do not. I met up with this guy to purchase a x0xb0x and after getting home and testing it out I was extremely pleased, with the combination of midi/din/cv-gate (all of which can be used at same time) by new mini-studio was well on its way :D Click here to show/hide content Electribe ES-1 :D (18th June @ 10:10) Before buying one of these I was on the look to get a drum machine which had 2 key features 1) Easy on-board sequencing 2) Flexible sounds. At first I had my eye on the ER-1 but after watching numerous videos it was clear that the sounds were simply ok and didnt offer much in flexibility, so then I looked into the ES-1 and being a sampling drum machine it had the flexibility of using any sound. After looking on ebay I managed to purchase one for just over £100 including a whopping 32mb memory card :O and usb card reader. Now its packed full of my favorite drum machines: Tr-606, Tr-707, Tr-808, Tr-909 and with plenty of space still available this should last me some time :) Click here to show/hide content GP2X:Wiz has landed (2nd June @ 12:41) I was quite sceptical about the GP2X Wiz, as there are many hand-held linux driven consoles out there but after reading numerous reviews and viewing the tech specs it seemed to be the right choice. First impressions was impressed although without installing emulators the device is quite pointless, but once you have the emulators installed such as the Gameboy, Super Nintendo, Mame, Neo-Geo etc. the device comes alive. The battery seems to last quite a while around 5-7 hours although charging takes around 5hours with the device turned off and aparently double if the device is on. The touch screen is quite responsive but is pointless to use as its just for the main menus, the rest of the controls are as good as any other hand-held. The only down point is no wifi or multiplayer but I am sure one day it will be available :) Click here to show/hide content The Sonic Lab @ Cable - Friday 21st May 2010 (24th May @ 09:37) What a night!
