Hi.

I make stuff.

My podcast, Tiny Synths and Friends, is now available!

Version 2.1 of the Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller has been released!

I started a podcast! Tiny Synths and Friends. I’ I started a podcast! Tiny Synths and Friends. I’m interviewing synth makers from around the world that make little tabletop devices. The first episode (an interview with @infinitedigits ) should be available on most platforms now. Episodes every two weeks or so … #podcast #synth #tinysynthsandfriends #synthesizers #musicproduction

Sound like fun? #diy #synthesizer #midicontroller #electronicmusic
Exploring the Ono-Sendai from @spherical_sound_soc Exploring the Ono-Sendai from @spherical_sound_society. Crazy futuristic voices and chirping bitscapes. About halfway through, I engage the Phantasmal Force to automate the XY pad of the NTS-3 so I can go back to turning knobs on the Ono.

Phantasmal Force micro midi controller is availabl Phantasmal Force micro midi controller is available here: https://distropolisgoods.com/ I haven’t posted in a little while … i’ve been working on the beta firmware for the Phantasmal Force for several months. Here is an improvisational demonstration of the new ARP button mode. I’m triggering the OPL Studio with three different sequences sent from the Phantasmal Force. The OPL studio is multi timbral so it is capable of playing back different FM tones on each midi channel. It is an amazing device for those looking to explore 80s FM sounds within the context of a hypothetical OS developed to control all of the OPL chip parameters. Truly incredible. https://www.cheerful.nl/index.html The NTS-3 takes a bit of learning, but is slowly becoming a fave of mine for adding reverb, delays and interactive effects. Such a great deal for what it costs. I’m hoping to release a version 2.0 of the Phantasmal Force firmware within the next couple weeks … maybe even sooner. With that, I intend to release a kit version for sale as well. #digitalsynthesizer #digitalsynth #synthesizer #electronicmusic #lofimusic #midicontrollers #generativemusic #ambient
Purchase the Phantasmal Force here: www.distropoli Purchase the Phantasmal Force here: www.distropolisgoods.com Testing out the latest BETA firmware for the Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller with some help from the Kasser Arcade FM synth and the Korg NTS-3. The Arcade is making the sounds - but the Phantasmal Force is sequencing all the notes by running 8 generative, monophonic ARP sequences and modulating parameters on the Arcade via two CC LFOs. I’ve been listening to variations of this setup for the last two weeks. Firmware is in BETA. I’ll be sending a BETA invitation to people on my mailing list … if you’d like to try it - keep your eye out for the email. #digitalsynthesizer #midicontrollers #electronicmusic #synthesizer #musicproduction #generativemusic ​⁠ @kassersynths
Phantasmal Force available here: https://www.distr Phantasmal Force available here: https://www.distropolisgoods.com MIDISID info can be found here: https://peacockmedia.software/midisid/ Phantasmal Force v2.0 firmware coming soon! Testing out the beta firmware for the Phantasmal Force micro MIDI controller with a new friend. The MIDISID (purple dual SID synth on the left) is being sent Program Change messages from the Phantasmal Force to change the instrument sounds on each of its six channels. The Phantasmal Force is also sending six different sequences (one to each voice of the MIDISID). The sequences are different lengths, and follow different subdivisions of the master tempo. Sequences can have their notes, velocity and probability randomized. Notes can be locked to 43 different scales. The NTS-3 is just here to add some fun ear candy. There are a ton of new features in coming up in v2.0 of the the PF firmware. #digitalsynthesizer #midicontrollers #synthesizer #digitalsynth #musicequipment #electronicmusic #musicproduction #lofimusic #commodore64
@denki_oto Shield XL on the right providing the FX @denki_oto Shield XL on the right providing the FX. Testing out the new ARP/sequencer functionality in the beta firmware for the Phantasm Force. There are a number of new features and a lot of functional improvements and changes in the new firmware which I hope to release in about a month or so. Here, we have eight of the sequencers sending notes on four different midi channels going into the MT 32 and triggering a soundfont of jazz guitar. The top row of four buttons are sending midi LFO signals that are slowly changing the vibrato on the guitar sound. The second row of buttons on the PF have sent program change messages to the MT to instruct it to load the jazz guitar sound before I started recording this video. The PF is really useful for sending program change messages to some of the synths that I have that require them to load new sounds such as the Kasser Arcade. #digitalsynthesizer #midicontrollers #synthesizer #digitalsynth #musicequipment #electronicmusic #lofimusic #ambient #ambientmusic
GREAT CONJUNCTION available here: www.distropolisg GREAT CONJUNCTION available here: www.distropolisgoods.com GC starts us off with a generative 7/8 melodic baseline. ​⁠ Zeptocore fades in with the chopped up drum breaks. GC clock is fed into the RK-006 to convert to sync which syncs the Zeptocore. Button mashing on the Zeptocore is a blast. I definitely need more practice at it. #digitalsynthesizer #synthesizer #musicequipment #lofimusic #chillmusic #chillout #chillbeats #chillwave

At one point during the flight, I was in dire need of sleep so I grabbed my M8 and cobbled together a generative “sleep scape”. Here, I am adding some Microcosm magic. It is always a pleasure to explore the Microcosm! It didn’t work for me … maybe it will for you?

Phantasmal Force is available here: https://distr Phantasmal Force is available here: https://distropolisgoods.com/ I forgot to post this a couple of weeks ago. I’m testing out a beta firmware for the Phantasmal Force. This primer will potentially have our educator/sequencer mode. Here, it’s sending different sequences to the Arcade which is multi-timbral. The Microcosm adds its special magic, of course. ​⁠ The beta firmware should be released relatively soon. #lofimusic #digitalsynthesizer #midicontrollers #synthesizer #musicequipment #musicproduction #fmsynthesis

GREAT CONJUNCTION riffs on some plucky cyber jazz. I really like several of these and look forward to using them live someday. #lofimusic #digitalsynthesizer #synthesizer #musicequipment #korg
Phantasmal Force is available here: www.distropoli Phantasmal Force is available here: www.distropolisgoods.com The DIY kit version is coming soon! A quick, improv with the ARP/sequencer button mode I’ve been working on for the Phantasmal Force. I’ve set buttons 1-8 to send different sequences to the MT32-pi (which is multitimbral). The buttons in ARP mode are set to stay in sync - so let’s see what happens! The @SynthuxAcademy Touch 2 provides some reverb & delay. #lofimusic #synthsizer #midicontrollers #synthesizer #digitalsynthesizer #musicequipment #sound #musicproduction
