Acidlab Autobot live improv demo
Live improv over a new Reverb And The Verse song.
This is meant as a demo video for “tap write mode” on the Autobot, which I can see using on lots of future tracks. This thing has totally changed my feeling towards my euro-rack, in that its now really inspirational tonally. Before, it was mostly an afterthought.
The Acidlab Autobot is a 303 sequencer for eurorack; it has no sound of its own. It is driving a Cwejman VM-1 on really basic settings using a lowpass and a Sawtooth wave. The cv/gate are driving the Cwejman, while the Accent out is sent to filter frequency.
I have intentionally turned down the song to showcase the Autobot better.
Signal path: eurorack to Speck Xtramix to RME Fireface 800.

Testing the Vemona Mono Lancet Analogue Monosynth
Background information:
Here is an in-depth look at one of my new favourite synthesizers.
I look at the oscillators, filter and LFO then play with the sounds.
Its a dual oscillator real analogue monosynth and its very fat when it wants to be.
Don’t expect any musical masterpiece in this video. I am simply demonstrating the sound and feel of it
No talking and no guides. You can see whats going on clearly.
Recorded in high quality but please excuse the harmonics when the resonance goes too high.Its very powerful on this synth and the sound card didnt like it.
If you like this kind of thing look at my other videos.
Hope this helps
Rob

Cubase – New book covers tracking audio, MIDI, and virtual instruments
Hal Leonard Books has published ThePower in Cubase by Matthew Loel T. Hepworth. They say that it’s a comprehensive, thoughtful, and engaging guide, written to help the new user master the ins and outs of Cubase. Here’s what they have to say:
Consider this: Cubase is a program that will turn your computer into a complete recording studio. That is, Cubase can create virtually every button, knob, switch, and fader found in a “real” studio, including a few components that don’t exist in the hardware realm. Imagine the challenge of sitting at a large mixing desk and being expected to use all that technology to produce professional recordings. Well, by installing Cubase on your computer, that’s exactly what you’ve expected of yourself. Knowing how daunting that task sounds, it’s easy to get overwhelmed, if not disillusioned.
The Power in Cubase: Tracking Audio, MIDI, and Virtual Instruments will help you get started so that you can use Cubase to your full benefit. It is specifically written to allow a new user to quickly get started with Cubase while avoiding a myriad of pitfalls. First, you’ll learn the process of installation and proper studio configuration. Next, you’ll learn the foundations of rudimentary Cubase operations. You’ll also learn how to avoid common mistakes that can ruin a recording. Finally, you’ll learn how to properly record MIDI, instrument, and audio tracks. Whether they’re your own tracks or those of a client, you’ll achieve recordings in your own home or project studio that were recently considered unobtainable without a big studio. And you’ll discover Cubase is easier to learn than you may have expected.
QuickPro Guides
If you want to quickly start implementing professional techniques into your audio recordings and productions, the Hal Leonard Books Quick Pro Guides are designed for you.
