Happy Drum Machine Halloween


A spooky little Halloween live jam on three drum machines. Make sure you turn
off all the lights before listening :) Outside shots were taken on within minutes
of each other on a recent clear night with a full moon as a powerful storm
passed by just to the north. Gear: Elektron Machinedrum UW and dual Sync-
modded Boss DR-110's, one with a bass drum mod. Setup: Machinedrum
generates sync and outputs it on one channel. A Y-adapter is used to split the
sync signal to send to the DR-110's. DR-110's do not naturally sync to other
machines, but I modified them to do so. Both DR-110's outputs are returned
to the Machinedrum and added to its mix. If you listen in stereo (add fmt=32
to the end of the URL), you can hear the two separate DR-110's more clearly.
All drum sounds from the DR-110's, everything else from the Machinedrum.
The "guitar" sound on the Machinedrum is amplitude modulation of a high-hat
sound. It is difficult to control because it generates weird harmonics, but it
sounds fairly guitar-like for being a high-hat. Video is HD viewable.
