A few days ago. Grain storm + old half broken Farfisa.

Couple things I had ordered came in:

The Dicers were originally for use with my snare (will figure out some 3D printing thing to keep them in place against the hoop), but now that I’m getting a turntable, I’ll likely use one with that too!

A Steve Hubback charger, which sounds fucking amazing.

And a big poofy bass drum beater.

you gotta hip me on percussion things to get when i come visit!!!

honestly your dexterity, strength, and motor coordination learned over years juggling should translate well to drumming

Will do!
Really looking forward to it too! (though if we play together at the gig I’m thinking of doing banjo + electronics + lightbulbs, and if we do a separate video at home, then drums + electronics stuff)

I’m constantly surprised by this, even though I know it will happen! Just had a turntable lesson this weekend and it felt really good. Obviously a lot of things to adapt to (following the record around, and getting a feel for where it is at all times, and the crossfader ‘rhythm’), but I was able to get some reasonable sounding scratching going pretty quickly.

Spent some time on the weekend tidying it up and giving it some new strings.

Feel almost bad to put it here x)

Here’s my crappy cheap setup, like it anyway, it makes efficient blips and blops.

[koam]

Nothing crappy about cheap. The best gear is the gear that you have and that you use.

If it works, it works

[Scarez0r]

I agree here, no matter what gear you have, if you don’t know how to use it, wether it’s a Moog or an Ipad, it will sound like crap

[Anfim]

Beautiful pic! What’s that tape delay in the middle?

[glia]

what’s to the left of the volca sample? looks like another volca but can’t tell for sure

[Scarez0r]

Yup, that’s the Keys

[glia]

nice

not sure why you’d be ashamed of that setup…they are all individually powerful and more incredible together

i’m really excited about the volca fm the most right now

[Scarez0r]

Ho that’s because everytime I have a look at this topic there’s just this enormous amount of modular awesomeness, my stuff looks weak neaby ^^ but I like it, I try to get the best out of it, Max and Pd helping a lot. I’ll need a mixer soon, it’s hard to find ways to plug everything with just a soundcard, happy to have the audio In of the Electribe.
(FM looks great yeah :D)

It is a hiwatt copy of a Japanese tape echo by a company called VOCU. I love the (relatively) compact size.
