I have been messing around with particle systems and kaleidoscopes in after effects to make some visuals for my CAPATCHA EP
Linking properties to the audio amplitude is a great way to get everything to synch, so for some eye bending visuals take a gander
you can grab a copy of the CAPATCHA EP on bandcamp

Getting to grips with the Devilfish
So i've had my devilfish about a week or so and I'm slowly getting to grips with it and how it sounds.
It is a complete transformation of the way my roland tb303 used to sound and at first it was kind of off putting as I couldn't get the sounds I used to be able to get out of it, but I've gone back and read through all the material that Robin gave me about the devilfish and with a bit of moderation my tb303 is definitely in there , its just been sonically expanded a lot.
This is a short track that shows of a new feature of the devilfish which is the unending note, there are two decay pots, one for accents and one for notes, and the old decay pot is now the volume envelope generator and it allows the unending notes.
Here is a short jam track which shows it off, the devilfish is also driving the roland sh101, and the drumstation is providing the 808 kit.

Mellow Acid Jam with Devilfish and SH101
It was a sunny Sunday and we all went down the beach this morning, after a restful afternoon lunch I fired up the kit
This is some mellow sunny Sunday afternoon acid, very ambient, drenched in reverb and delay, and with the devilfish's accent button and accent decay it allows for a greater level of jamming within patterns.
The SH101 sequence is run from the gate out of the devilfish and into abeton and using TAL reverb and delay, the initial melody is from the congas on the fake08 (drumstation and korg er1 combination), then the 303 picks up the same pattern, tight timing from the bitstream3.x din sync out.
Enjoy the mild acid, and I hope those of you in the northern hemisphere can feel the sunshine this jam is drenched in.

TS -303 : the acid screamer


My latest purchase has been the analogue renaissance ts-303 acid screamer distortion and overdrive pedal
You can find details of it on the analogue renaissance site.
Basically it adds distortion but has the ability to keep the dynamics of the tracks thats being distorted, which is great for acid tracks and drums and any other type of music that wants distortion but also dynamics
I have posted a dynamics test on Soundpunk website
You can have a listen there
You can hear a jam using the ts-303 and the devilfish , as well as the micro punk robot and my fake08 which is a korg ER1 running a novation drum station

Devilfish & Micro Punk Robot & Fake 08
the micro punk robot came from digitana today

the devilfish you can see below is recently modified by robin

this is mucking around with the devilfish, the micro punk robot and the fake 08
this is recorded into ableton live, the midi from live is converted to din sync using bitstream 3.x
this keeps the devilfish in time, the er1 is run from the midi out of the bitstream
the midi out of the er1 runs the novation drum station, giving me my fake 08
or I could switch kits and have a fake 09
the cv, accent & gate out of the devilfish connect up to the micro punk robot
cv into cv1 gate into reset accent into cv2
i not using the power supply with MPR
