Listen: MOTM & other contemporary analog demos
1999-11-19 by David Bivins
Hi all, I've put some audio up for you to listen to: http://www.totaltrash.com/audio/ah.html The files are MP3s. The first track (2777k) is by the mysterious half-wit Bogopop, called "Half-Baked." This features the MOTM modular, including two MOTM-420 (MS-20 filter clone) filters, self-oscillating, one frequency modulating the other. Watch your tweeters! Other modules are involved, including the MOTM-410 triple resonant filter (Korg PS3100 clone) into which those 420 sine waves are input. That's where the panning comes from. The melodic undercurrent is the Future Retro 777, and the drums are a Jomox XBase09. Nothing is modeled, the only samples are the hats and claps from the Jomox. I played it live with the exception of the patterns in the 777 and Jomox which were preprogrammed. The second file is short (1053k), and it is meant to showcase the MOTM-410 triple resonant filter. A TB-303 is the original sound source, and that is fed into a sub-octave generator (MOTM-120), then MOTM-410, then part of that into a MOTM-420 (modulated by sample & hold from a MOTM-100). It doesn't sound so pleasant, but I was trying to show how much one can destroy the 303 sound while still retaining some of the qualities. I love the new analog gear. David Bivins
