I’ve built a new manual controller that I’ll describe in a future post.  It let’s me be more creative with improvisation.  This doesn’t sound much like anything I’ve done before!

Adding another SSG module allowed me to patch up a Quantisise-like collaboration, consisting of a Smooth section LFO, and two Stepped sections as the sample and holds.  I then patched … Read More

I played Tocante through the E560 and E580 today.  Drum beat provided by Plumbutter.

This drone uses four identical patches within Rollz-5.  The square wave oscillator is patched through a Gong, used as a filter, and then through AVDog, used as a VCA.  AVDogs … Read More

Here’s a Cocoquantus piece.  It is a single sample from the Sidrax, made to circulate, with the coco time delays being controlled from the Quantussy.  I intervened a few times … Read More

First a dark drone that uses AVDogs and Ultrasounds Next a rhythmic section created by Gongs with an external digital echo. Next a combination of external processing with E560 and … Read More

The Rollz-5 is finished!  Full update to come.  Here is a little tryout recording.

Here’s a self-running patch that runs Plumbutter (using one half, i.e. one AVDog, one Gong, and one Ultrasound) through the Synthesis Tech E560 and E580 and also a Blacet Time … Read More

Something else I’ve been playing around with:  Sidrazzi with Cocoquantus modulating it to get random S&H steps.  Processed by the Deflector Shield and the Re-sampling Mini-Delay.  This is entirely performed.

Trying an idea from David Linton, who asked, What if you mixed all your oscillators, tuned to the same pitch, in one patch.  I didn’t use all 15 of my … Read More
