A few more samples for this festive season. I just bought myself a little MPC 500 and I was looking around for a few synthetic drum sample packs and I found Cyberwooms sample blog. There you can find a real nice collection of synthetic drum sample packs from the likes of the Polivoks above, the Jomox, the Access Virus and genre kits like glitch/electro house/minimal.
Found a decent link on the Doepfer forum to Dubshot blog. A fairly large post with lots of links on how to get the most bass power from your sinewaves. It also has a decent amount of reverence for the 808 Boooooooooooommmmmmmmmm! :)
This is a very interesting TED Talk with Peter Hirshberg talking about the merging of computers and media over the last 50 odd years. About 5 minutes in there is an archive clip from a 1949 CBS expo of the Whirlwind computer. First off it shows the whirlwind providing bombing calculations. The very next thing it does is play a little digital song. Strange times. The talk is worth watching if for nothing else the killer quote at the very end from 60's media prophet Marshall McLuhan.
Title says it all really 2 x0xb0xes and a 606 sync'd running a simple pattern. You can buy x0xb0xes kits and put them together yourself or if you want a ready made 303 clone maybe look at the acidlabs bass.
Anyways thanks to accenter for posting.
"i did this when i first got the 200e. The stages of the 250e are being selected by the random The The stages of the 250e are being selected by voltages from the 266e. The tip of the sonic iceberg that is the 200e and the lovely uncertainty that Don so thoughtfully provided us! The old SFTMC 100 is helping" - hyperguy61
I've been trying to mess about with randomness on the old modular. It's easier and more difficult than you think. When I first started looking into randomness it was all the same - just random shizz happening. Now though I know there are a countless ways for something to be random. Anyways the clip above is the kind of random that sounds like a bag of hammers falling down a stairs. If you're into that more power to you ;)

Incredible spatial operating environment from Oblong! If it looks a bit like the OS in Minority Report it's because some of the same people worked on it...
