A brand new tutorial from Brent Kallmer and Bluewater VST!
"In this tutorial, we will: 1) harvest loops from three of REAKTOR's grooveboxes (Massive, Newscool, and SineBeats), 2) bring our crop of loops together into a Sample Map (using the Sample Map Generator), and 3) enter—Sample Map in tow—the mind-bending world of Random Step Shifter, a Sample Transformer that will take our loops to places undreamt."
Been awhile since we've posted a Gattobus video on RF, and this latest one is the perfect piece to get reacquainted with his work! Featuring a lust-worthy Eurorack Modular synth with Elektron's Machinedrum and Monomachine, this video is sure to give you G.A.S. (gear acquiring syndrome.)
AnalogAudio1 showcasing the classic Korg KR-55 Rhythm Box:
"The Korg Rhythm 55 (KR-55) is a non programmable analog rhythm box from 1979. The KR-55 and its little brother KR-33 were the successors of the Korg Minipops series. Same knobs as on the MS/PS-series. The sound of the hi hats is more complex - similar to those on the Roland TR-808/606.
The KR-55 has some special features: a TRIG OUT jack including several triggering modes, SHUFFLE function and volume faders for the most drum sounds.
The rhythms are not mixable like on earlier Korg rhythm boxes (Minipops series). TEMPO and VOLUME controls. It was used by Jean-Michel Jarre (Magnetic Fields) and Depeche Mode (Speak and Spell) among others. It has a very characteristic sound - it sounds fantastic!"
Big City Music uploaded a great video this morning of the Skychord Cloudbuster Pedal:
"Check out the crazy/cool Skychord Cloudbuster pedal! The Cloudbuster is a super fun delay/sequencer. Each step controls the delay time for that step. There are also controls for sequence speed, delay glide, overall delay time, feedback amount, and more.
We start with a simple drone from the Sleepdrone 6 and eventually fade out the dry signal almost completely. The Cloudbuster is the only pedal of it's kind and we love it!"
