Re-organising the bedroom music studio

After years of living in musical instrument chaos an electrics check forced me move to things around, and why waste that chance for improvement might as well organising things to be more practical, I hardly make music upstairs anymore and want to change that, get back to how it was in the 2000s when I was churning out lots of rubbish and the occasional okay thing.. 

I'm going to try to connect as many synths to the mixer and PC as I can without the cabling becoming too stranger things upside down, I want to be able to use the Korg MS20 mini, Arturia Microbrute, Roland Juno 6, Siel EX80, Behringer Moog clone, Deepmind etc. I wish I could include the Sequential circuits Pro One and SH101 but they need some work, especially the Pro One the first oscillator died a few years ago. I've found quite a few tapes of old music I made with Pro One / SH101 / CZ3000 and Atari ST, must upload some of them at some point.

 

 

 "Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

I think this applies to both me and my synths lately lol

Working on wavetable synth Dracorex LV2 / VST


 Not a great demo but fixed a few bugs I'd set the range wrong on a few parameters and forgot to initialise the low pass resonant filters which was causing all sorts of chaos on Qtractor lol it was confusing because it was working fine ran as a standalone in Jalv. #linuxaudio #lv2 #vst #synthesis #wavetable

Forgot all about this blog will use it more again from now on, added lots to my old drum machine plugin basic FM for better hi hats and symbols, rudimentary clap though I want to improve the envelope, cowbell, and comes in LV2 and VST2 (VST3 / CLAP to come).  #linuxaudio #drum #lv2 #vst #synthesis
