Sync Up 2013
So last week a few of us met up for a small modular meeting at the DinSync HQ. Essentially we spent the day "wiggling" and here's some of the highlights.
Please bear in mind this is all just live jamming, with some very random moments. Take 5 is probably the most epic as its around two hours long and has everyone who attended taking part in some way or another.
All in all it's just a bit of summer fun (man it was hot in here, so hot, we literally set off the fire alarm), and yes for Sync Up 2014 we will invite more people in advance...and find a bigger setting ;-)
enjoy the files

Connecting the MS-20 Mini to eurorack via an English Tear
This arrived this week. It's an English Tear, new module forthcoming from The Harvestman. It's basically a converter module so that you can use to convert eurorack 1v/oct to ms-20 Hz/Volt and vice versa.
Pretty handy if you have a eurorack and an ms-20 mini, here's a quick demonstration video of using it to interface a Rene..

My Gift to You
What's the use of making music if no one hears it?
Well of course it's fun to do, but since I was in the past involved in the music industry, (in a very small way I might add) everytime I make something half decent that thought of sending demos out to labels comes back. In the real world, I've long lost the stamina of doing such things, vinyl is dead (ok its not but that's another debate) and mp3 labels are ten a penny.
So back to the point, here's a track I made quite some time ago and posted on soundcloud, a few people listened and there were a couple of nice comments. So i figured I'd post it here and enable downloads on it.
So have a listen, if you like it download the wav file and put it on a cd or make an mp3 from it, whatever you like (unless you are making money from it of course)
