Metasonix R-series
Here’s a nice demo of the Metasonix R. A brief demonstration of what the Metasonix eurorack modules sound like on their own.. The initial ~30sec is through a Cwejman sph-2 spatial phaser. Some Eventide timefactor delay near the end. Everything else is only the 5 R-modules being modulated by a VILFO and controlled by the Doepfer a-198 ribbon controller.
The patch is:
– 2 R-54 oscs into R-53 ringmod
– R-53 to R-52 filter
– R-52 to R-51 VCA
– pittsburgh VILFO to R-53 carrier CVin
– A-198 position CV to R54 CVin, gate CV to R-51 VCA CV in
– A-198 pressure CV to R-53 Sweep CV in & R-53 pulserCV in, gate CV to VILFO CV1 in
– A Wiard Envelator is patched between the A-198 gate and whatever it’s controlling, for slopes and decay
Beat707 Song Mode (short song)

Here’s a quick song I made in a few minutes, sorry its short and not superb, but still a great demonstration.
At the end I show how easy is to edit a pattern while in song mode: hit record, edit the pattern, hit left+right to go back to song mode where you left.

Arp Pro DGX Demonstration
Because there is such limited amount of videos on this synthesizer I will probably leave the video up after the auction ends.
MacBeth X-Series Dual SV Filter Demo
Here is the first demo- if not basic- of the the new Macbeth X-Series Dual SV (State Variable) Filter module. Being used in conjucntion with it are 2 x X-Series Oscillators (along with sub octaves) giving a very rich sound! Listen out for the stereo sample and hold modulation. When the switch is thrown to invert on one modulation channel- the stereo becomes very aparent. Remember- this is just one module doing the proccessing!Also seen here is a prototype idea for a six input mixer with noise- not dissimilar to the 8 input Mixer ‘A’ from my Mk1 Series…..
The Dual SV Filter is being swept by one EG from the Mk1 Dual EG module. Audio and control jacks in the the Dual SV Filter are normalised.
Fairlight apps compared
A brief comparison of the features of the two versions of the Fairlight App for iPhone and iPad, Fairlight Player and Fairlight Pro. These apps canb be bought separately from the App store, or the Player version can be upgraded to Pro via an in-app purchase. Cost of the Player plus Pro upgrade is the same as buying the Pro in the first place, and functionality of the Player once upgraded is identical to the Pro.

MidiMe Demo
This is a quick demo of the features of MidiMe, a new midi control app for the iPad. You can see here how the direct, record and bounce modes work and get a feel for the UI.
It connects over WiFi so no midi cables are required. It works directly with core midi in OS X and Windows users can connect via the free rtpMIDI driver.
