Ok, since there are now three unfinished ideas in my soundcloud-vault, it´s the right time now to complete some of these ideas to final tracks… two of them will make it, one I will drop unfinished;
as usual, feedback is highly welcome, especially on the “which two” decision

New Album: Redshape – The Dance Paradox
Posted on November 18, 2009
Filed Under all/alles/todo, beats | Leave a Comment
Released 4 weeks ago on Delsin Records, this album is a blast – deep, hard and sometimes sad, rhythmic and melodic, with tracks to be played at primetime, while as well they work great just listening to them at home. Redshape is best known for his stunning live performance, his unique sound can be described as an analog electronic detroit-influenced techno, somewhat oldschool, while still discovering new elements in every track. Check out this album!

Roland Trigger out for the MB-808
Posted on November 9, 2009

As an add-on to my MB-808 I have built this small circuit to trigger the internal sequencer of a SH-101 as well as the the arpeggiator of a Juno-60. The original trigger signal of the Roland TR-808/606 and some other Roland instruments has a square waveform with a duration of 1ms, and a minimum of +2,5V, while the trigger signal from the MB-808 circuit is way shorter; With the friendly help of some people at the german synthesizerform I built this small circuit, grabbed the two trigger signals from the shift registers of the Midibox Sequencer, activated these two external triggers in the Midibox firmware and led the two trigger signals to external jacks on the back. Quite easy, and a lot of fun!

Finally complete: MB-808 the Bassqueen!

Yes, thats right: 10 months after starting to build this baby, she´s finally ready and sounds great! The MB-808 is a clone of the famous Roland TR-808 with a Midibox step sequencer; The bassdrum has this loooong boom, the snare comes snappy and sharp, the toms go pretty deep while the congas almost self oscillate, clap and rims sound just as warm as the original and the hihats groove nice! She has swing, accent, 2 additional trigger for the classic SH-101 & 808 combination or the arpeggiator of some other synth; the digital heart of the MB-808 is the Midibox sequencer, with a rock-solid timing and quite a bunch of useful features; check out the MB-808 project here as well as the Midibox home for more information.
I started this project last winter, when someone on the german synthesizerforum offered me one of the few PCBs of the second batch of the MB-808 project. After sourcing and ordering all the parts I started soldering in january, and soon had a basic running machine at the end of february – but it took me quite a while to source and fix some errors in the analog circuits of the toms and hihats, complete the case (I tried out several options, the final case has been laser-cut and powder-coated by one of my relatives in his factory), order the knobs, draw the artwork for the case and get it silkscreened at a printer here around…
So here´s the first sound sample, more stuff will follow soon;

Thanx to Doug Wellington and Jeff “Moogah”, who started this project and did the great PCB layout and the documentation, and Torsten Klose, the father of the Midibox project. Great work guys!
DIY-Project: The G-SSL Stereo Mix Compressor, part 2
Posted on October 17, 2009
Filed Under DIY stuff, all/alles/todo, gear | Leave a Comment
It´s been quite a while since I posted the first part of the howto on the GSSL Compressor. That is, because I took a break after having it almost finished, then finished it, used it quite a few times, modified some stuff again, but didn´t have the time to write down the second part of my howto…
In the meantime the compressor is finished but I still have some minor issues with the distortion / calibration of the unit, and now that I own a osciloscope I might give it another try and fix the last things so the compressor will be fine to use as my main stereo sum compressor. I like the sound a lot, it´s not much colored but it has its own flavor, so I gotta get things going!
hopefully I will be able to test the unit this weekend and post some sound examples, maybe someone can help me with my distortion issue;
NI Maschine still buggy, major issues with Snow Leopard
Posted on September 3, 2009
Filed Under all/alles/todo, bytes, gear | Leave a Comment
I am really sorry to say this, as I really like Maschine as a new innovative concept, but this piece of software still seems completely unfinished to me and not usable as promoted by NI at the moment.
Not only the fact that key features are still missing in the software, and a big commmunity is sadly waiting for the elementary update, the compatibility with OS X 10.6 aka Snow Leopard which NI announced some days ago in their forum simply isn´t given at all. Read more
