Re: what part "plays" serependity or chance in your music ?

I like to mix several lfos into one or two destinations to create pseudo-sequences. I have a couple songs that I have recorded (and probably will never be able recreate 100%) where I match up a each lfo to make a very steady rhythm, and gradually start changing speeds and shapes and amounts to disco...

Re: New Taurus Pedals

They did say if the project doesn't go through, your deposit will be refunded. So if it doesn't happen just think of it as a savings acount that doesn't earn any intrest.

Re: New Taurus Pedals

:shock: I must have done something to offend the synth gods. First moog gives away a cp251 with any synth purchase, now they are reissuing the taurus in limited number! And I can't afford any of this right now. AGGHHH!!!!

Re: My EM-1 just blew up, I need a new drum machine

Well I ended up not getting any of the previously mentioned drum machines. We went to a local pawn shop, after being disappointed by the two major retailers, and stumbled across a boss dr202. It was cheap and actually a pretty neat lttle box. I like it better than the em1 for sure.

Re: My EM-1 just blew up, I need a new drum machine

the r8 seems like a good choice I would love to get the 606 but as a main drum machine i would need more memory. 32 patterns or wh ever just isn't enough.

We're having a band field trip tomarrow to do some test runs so well see what works best . Thanks for the input

Re: MFB-503 Drum Machine

I've been contemplating getting the 502 for awhile to use with my electirbe, so I could have some tweekable drums with analog goodness. But there haven't been to many reviews or demos of it. I will have to check out the demo later.

Re: spooky sounds for halloween

If you can, put a bright red light in the back of the modular so it shines through the cracks between modules, and through the jacks. thats just a great idea period! i always wanted a H.A.L. (ala 2001: a space oddesy) Module for my imaginary modular synth, basically just a big red round lamp in the...

Re: spooky sounds for halloween

take old black sabbath albums record them on to a reel to reel slow the speed down and play it backwards run it through your synth and some fx pedals :twisted: nothing like ozzy moaning like barry white on an bad acid trip with some slow resonant filter sweeps and some ringmod and reverb going over it
