Sub-bass
A fundamental part of “groove” is sub-bass, and I’ve been trying lately to make a more conscious effort to have a single, good source of sub-bass to turn to. Especially as the same sub-bass can be used over and over and in multiple scenarios and genres. Recently I decided to explore self-resonant filters and results …
ALM MFX thoughts
I’ve recently acquired a used ALM MFX. I like it and will likely keep it. The primary question, as usual, is if effects are really “worth” having in the rack versus stand alone. Though surely at least one is, right? Of course my problem is I have, let’s see… So, what to do? Well. I …
Erica Black BBD
Recently bough (and sold) an Erica Black BBD. First impression was the whine – turn past a certain point and a high pitch whine is very noticable. The “character” switch is, as far as I can tell, simple levels of filtering to hide this. None really do though. Given more time though, it does grow …

I spent some time testing envelopes tonight. I already have what is likely the perfect one for me – Makenoise Maths and yet… I want something smaller.

They have nearly the same button and features with th HD16 having a few extra physical elements to speed …

DX100 program sysex dump
To dump the patches on a Yamaha DX-100: Ensure “sys info” is on by pressing function + 5 The DX100 cannot, as far as I know, bulk send all patches. Instead, when sys info is on, it always does a 101 byte sysex dump of the newly selected patch on each patch change. To dump …
Disting MK4 vs 2hp Play
The best way I’ve found to emulate the 2hp Play with the disting is by using Algorithm I3. Create a playlist.txt to set looping to off. The connect a knob to the y input for pitch. You now have sample select on Z and pitch on Y. The pitch is a bit extreme – good …
