ABC Darkies (Excerpt)

More acid, more breaks, more hardware jamming.

This week I was figuring out a workflow on the S5000:
- chopping breaks in ReCycle
- exporting the chops along with an S5000 program
- drag'n'dropping the files over to the sampler via USB and S56Sys

Seems to work great, need to explore more.

Nice! Where is that pad coming from? It keeps things feeling other worldly.

Cheers, it's an MKS50 through an OTO BAM and probably some spring reverb.

OH nice! I had to look up what MKS is what. I always forget. Making me sad I sold my Alpha Juno 2. I traded it for a Juno-6 (an ok deal for the time). The VST I have is good but a MKS-50 would be better. Time to look at reverb for a bit gear lusting.

The Juno-6 sounds like a sweet trade. Do you till have it?

Sure do smile It was part of my poly synth buying spree around 2010-ish. I was finding used synths at incredible deals (especially by today's standard). Ended up with a DX7 and a CZ1000 as well. All of them for around $250 a piece.

I spent a lot of time buying consumer keyboards from thrift stores, fixing or cleaning them, and then selling them to music shops for to bank roll my synth buys. The guitar shops were happy to get rid of the synths because the guitar shops didn't really know what they were. A lot of good deals back then.

It was a big jump from the chiptune trackers I had been using to explore electronic music.
