spent a few hours jamming on the system with my girlfriend and had a wonderful time. started as a quick synthesis introduction lesson and she was off and droning and making wild fm noises in no time. i rotated through jacking in my modular rack, the op-z and the TE stemplayer into the system. we made some heavy techno type shit which i never make but it went hard. such a great time.

MTM made a touch controlled passive matrix mixer called Goldfinger, only £30 too, just put in my order! looking forward to adding this into me and my partners jams.

how beautiful looking. I’ve committed to not buying anything else this year though so whilst pretty and inexpensive, it’ll have to wait for me!

So I’ve been doing lots of in-person Workshop Workshops (where I turn up with a suitcase of systems and people collaborate and play and perform) - but obviously not everyone is in Toronto/Lisbon/Stockholm/Deptford so I’m trying to do some online workshops - only for people who have access to a Workshop System (feel free to borrow one from a mate!)
The first one is 30th July 7:30 UK time (20:30 Berlin, 2:30pm NYC, 11:30am LA) with the brilliant Ted Gordon, author of The Composer’s Black Box, and it’s all about Pauline Oliveros.
£10, please come along have fun INFO AND BOOKING

I absolutely love this - and worship is extremely big business for music gear, so I’m totally up for it!

theres more details here, the more complex options are really cool and fun to play with but i think the default oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer and etch a sketch choices are really fun too. one effect that is super cool is split into four quadrants and it stamps different images in the quadrants based on pulse inputs
