the Microbrute, just like the Basstation 2, has V/Oct, which will give you unpredictable musicality tonewise or (notewise if you like), since the MS-20 works with Hz/V. Soundwise, I wouldn't write off the Bassstation 2 so easily. I agree it sounds cleaner than a Microbrute, but the overdrive and ...

very nice cards, but a bit impractical especially if you have a lot of patches, including several different patch cable connections to make. nevertheless a good way to start with a patch in a song, twiddle the controls around, and go to the starting patch easily when you need it. lazy as I am I take ...

lol, there's a business in this or everyone it seems
nice tip, but I'll stick with a well lit front panel.
you can't play this box in the dark live unless if you know it by heart

it would be nice to adjust brightness of the leds according to volume e.g.
but that's just wishful thinking. wearing shades would probably be overdoing it

maybe a couple of layers of dark varnish on them may help?
I wouldn't want to throw it out solely because of the bright leds
but now that I'm checking, the leds on the mini are far less brighter

I'm not sure if you could call the early 'noisy' filters a fault, since they add to the original sound of the early MS-20's. True the new filter available in the kit produces a lot less noise, but to me it doesn't have the character of the early in a sense of being aggressive. I didn't have the ...

hi Baward14, I had allready checked out your site quite some time ago. A usefull resource it is indeed (I enjoyed the poor man's duophony a lot :D) and your pages give a very thorough insight into the workings of the MS-20. I'm looking towards chaining 2 MS-20's (a mini and a kit), which is not ...

hi Phabius, I just repeated your experiment with the early filters on the PW control for the Pulse wave on OSC1, and I found the sound cutoff to be almost similar on the Mini (around 7) and on the Kit (around 8). On the LP Filter -again, both early- the Mini 'screams' a bit sooner (around 6) than ...

hi all, I have the ms-20 mini for awhile and being happy as a clam with it, but bought the kit last weekend, built it and boy is it a sturdier beast which sounds...pretty much the same. now having both, I'm trying to figure out how they could be patched together in a way to sound a/ duophonic, b ...

sorry bout that, remind me never to inform my relatives when i have a couple of days off, they filled my spare time completely :) so i'm lagging behind with this january2014 entry. i'll make sure to refine it in a new post for january if this is allowed, and i'll add a new entry for february2014 ...

catchy ;D i really like the piano line and the drum section alltogether. as I'm still new here, I hope you dn't mind if I ask how yu made this.. sampling, playing live and recording it, or thru a daw, or combined. what hardware dit you use? as for the vid, as a professional cameraman I would suggest ...

got a few days off from work
expect a new go at this within the next 72 hrs or so
you can hear the sh*t i made so far, with only audacity, here : https://soundcloud.com/channel_0/tracks

hi, read the article on the mix and your contribution.. it sounds just great :D but since I m new here, can you explain to me how ths fits into a song? do you fit it into your own composition, or do you release it to others as they see fit? sorry if I ask a dumb question...not sure yet about the ...

dear mr. Ferraro, thank you very much for the tip on the Presonus StudioOne free edition. I just installed it, and got my hardware working with it, after some tinkering... recorded a first track from my Monotribe with it only minutes ago :D I still have to learn all of it's ins and outs, since there ...

thank you sir for the kind feedback :D I still have the original recorded tracks, but I'm going to start anew with the idea, but I'm desperately trying to reconstruct the growling bass from the MS-20 which lacks memory slots, let alone memory banks for patches. fortunately I still have the sequence ...
