Weinglas – More and More Delayed
The Metasonix D1000 gets not enough love on youtube. The lovely tube drum machine plays with it’s friends Grendel Drone Commander and Red Panda Particle Delay.
Only two channels of the D1000 were used here: One for the backgound drone and the other channel of the D1000 works as a filter for the Particle Delay and as a drum machine at the same time.

Traktor Remix Decks Mapping Overview
This is an overview of the Electrix Tweaker mapping for Traktor’s Remix Decks. NI just released Traktor Pro 2.6.2 which enables the remix decks to be mapped to any MIDI controller. The mapping is available at http://www.electrixpro.com/downloads
The Remix Deck mapping was designed to allow the user to directly access Remix Decks C/D. The Tweaker’s layout assists in more easily controlling the remix decks, with its 32 button grid giving direct access to the 16 sample cells on each deck. The Tweaker’s grid section also provides direct access to sample settings like Punch, Monitor, FX, and Keylock functions.
Additionally, the Tweaker?s pads allow the user to Mute sample slots, switch Trigger Type, as well as Play Mode (e.g. Loop or One-Shot). The mapping also allows the user to switch back and forth between Mixer Mode and Deck Mode. In Mixer Mode the knobs and faders act as EQs and Channel Faders. In Deck Mode, the knobs and faders are used to control the pitch, loops, sample pages, and more. This allows users to quickly switch between the mixer functions and deck functions.
The Remix Deck mapping can be used in a variety of situations. Two sample use cases include:
- 1 x Tweaker (Decks A/B), 1 x Tweaker (Decks C/D)
For users who want to make full use of Traktor?s Track Decks and Remix Decks, a two-Tweaker setup is the perfect fit. Performers can utilize the Tweaker?s native Track Deck mapping for Decks A/B and the newly released Remix Deck mapping for Decks C/D. Utilizing two Tweakers in this setup allows the user to perform entirely in Traktor?s internal mixing mode and thus take full advantage of Traktor?s FX, looping, and sampling features. - 1 x MIDI Controller (Decks A/B), 1 x Tweaker (Remix Decks B/C)
For users looking for additional MIDI control over the remix decks, the Tweaker is the perfect addition to an existing digital DJ setup.Plug the Tweaker into an extra USB port and load the Remix Deck mapping. This effectively allows the user to continue using Decks A/B as usual, while expanding the user’s ability to remix on the fly by adding samples via the Decks C/D (Remix Decks).

The Doctor and The Master – Moog Voyager Old School
Moog Voyager OS, Prophet 08, Juno 60, Yamaha EX5, Hollowsun Drumbox
“It could be me but doesn’t the Tardis engine look like some sort of old Con Brio synth with a couple of MC-500s on the dashboard and a massive vintage KerPlunk set in the middle?
Anyway…..He’s coming to get you!! – HIDE UNDER YOUR BED (unless you’re like my better half and I and have a divan, in which case you’re done for).
Imagine if Tom Baker had gone head-to-head with ultimate Master Roger Delgado. That would have made for a cracking watch. Obviously, I liked Anthony Ainley but he always seemed like a very hammy Zod with a bit of Kenny Everett thrown in for good measure.”
Moog Sub Phatty – Smoother Sounds Demo
Background video description:
I was asked on the Gearslutz forums if the Sub Phatty could do something that is a bit smoother and not quite so aggressive. It’s no voyager, but you can get some smoothness out of it. No comments on the playing itself, please. I never said I was a musician 
Also, I have a cold. Sorry for the heavy breathing into the mic
I did this all live on camera, completely dry (no effects or eq). I didn’t try to create these patches ahead of time. You can certain do more, especially if you play with the two envelope generators.
Given that it’s only two octaves, I can’t recommend the Sub Phatty for leads and other similar work. Even for bass, I’d prefer another octave. That said, it’s a great sounding synth that is built like a tank. Great knobs, great key action, and a really solid feel.
Here’s the Sub Phatty recording I did which prompted this one:

Rob Papen: Predator: Unleashed – Overview
At first glance, Predator is a beast of a synth! But dont worry because starting with the first tutorial in this course Rishabh Rajan explains how all those knobs and parameters are visually linked and functionally organized to produce Predators leviathan sonics!
Deep down in the heart of Predator is an extremely powerful subtractive synth. Thats why Rishabh starts with an enlightening explanation of Predators unique approach to creating sounds. You learn the signal flow: from oscillators to filters to FX. You see how to magically morph between presets. You get a deep plunge into Predators plethora of modulators with their copious options and mappings. Then, after getting familiar with the FX and the inventive built-in arpeggiator, Rishabh unleashes Predators sonic passion with a series of tutorials on sound design – Rob Papen style.
So, learn synthesis, sound design and Predator all together in this course by the inspirational synthesist and music producer, Rishabh Rajan!
