Oh, hey! I can put a bio in that's neato.
I make music and do weird stuff with VHS and composite video. I have an obnoxious amount of synths and no Alex I won't stop buying synths you can't make me.
Oh I also do stuff with Dreaming Door look that up.

Got some stuff

Posted by quantumdylan - July 28th, 2019


Had a bit of extra cash from selling off things I wasn't really using anymore so I got a few things!


Bought one of those new minilogue xd synths from korg, used of course. Can't be paying full price lol. Love this thing to death so far, it has an awesome sound to it. Can do just about everything I wanted it to, and I was looking to potentially replace my Poly61 with it since the old 61 is on the fritz again. Poor thing.


Then I got an old ARP Quartet, which is a string/brass/piano/organ combo synth. It just works, which is all I can really ask for something this old. This should replace the old rs101 I've got, since that thing literally sparks and pops if you move the release slider for the treble section. So far I've recorded a super cheesy early 80s instructional video sounding track which I'm super happy with. Gonna have to mess with this a lot more.


And then I just picked up some batteries for my old VHS camcorders, as well as this little EM field stereo microphone. So gonna have a lot of fun walking around with the VHS camera and just record face-melting soundscapes with the mic. So cool!


Anyways, I've been a bit lazy with music due to the heat and work getting hectic. I'm going to be finding this last ADAT lightpipe I'm missing all of a sudden so I can use the old 8-track recorder again. Really want to do some classic housey stuff straight to 1/2" tape. That'd be sick.


So, keep an ear peeled! I should also have some tracks polished enough to throw on here soon. Kinda treating this as an in-betweener for soundclown and bandcamp.

That's a cool haul, that ARP can pass for a farfisa or an elka organ easy and it'll fit anything from faux 80s to retro horror, prog rock or even elevator stuff.

Dunno what to say about the XD that hasn't already been said. Looks sweet, sounds great, is versatile, fun to play with, what's not to love.

I'm just so happy that it's an older stringer that finally works. I'm not smart enough to fix that poor old roland thing, god knows I've tried a few times. If it didn't literally threaten to light on fire I'd probably have not as rough a time with it :D

And yeah, the XD is just fantastic. So easy to use, good palette of sounds, and that korgy filter that I've always had a soft spot for.
