Ghost in the machine? 👻 Added some ‘new’ patches into my 27 year old Nord Micro Mod and this patch generates this 'noise' when only a midi clock is running. Not a single note played. I actually think it's cool! 😎

Moved the TR-1000 a bit lower, but since it’s quite bulky, the Virus and the Iridium had to be raised quite a bit. No magic tricks with the Roland here (actually very simple), but I think the whole setup sounds pretty nice.

Man, those analog bass drums are insanely cool. Even the simplest loops sound great. #synthsky #electronicmusic #dawless #dancemusic

🎉 Just picked up my brand-new Roland TR-1000. 😎 Straight from Haarlem 🇳🇱 as the very first customer! Fresh out of the box, full of rhythm, and ready to groove 🥁✨

Getting used to the new setup. Mostly using the Faderfox to jam with the Virus and Iridium. Still waiting on the TR1000 though. #synthsky #electronicmusic #livejam #dawless

I've downsized the setup considerably because I simply had too much gear. Everything is now within easy reach. And I've already made room for the TR-1000. 😎

After three weeks of traveling through South Korea and Japan, I finally got to play with my new Cre8audio West Pest. What a fantastic sound and nice workflow!

Spent the whole evening messing around #MediaPipe for #TouchDesigner motion tracking synced with sound and visuals 🎶🌀 #Synplant #Ableton #SynthSky #ElectronicMusic

Messing around on Whit Monday. The Strymon Dig v2 🫨 delay pedal, like the new blueSky, Flint, Lex, Deco, and El Capistan v2 pedals, has full MIDI implementation. You can select the channel, send program changes to recall presets and of course, sync it to the clock. ⏰

And just like that, the brew starts leaning into psy vibes... Psy party next week in Amsterdam, maybe that's why!

A relaxed Saturday afternoon spent shaping something new from last night's leftovers. Thanks to the Hapax transpose track, the sound flows with a bit of movement.

New Tascam Model 2400 mixing console in da house! 🔥
Jammed with the guys last night and after a few hours of techno violence we made a kind of dub. Here's a fragment.

I was working on a dark sound when suddenly a really fat synth roared as I opened the filter of the Access Virus Ti. 🎶 🖤

Exploring polyrhythms and messing around with the Arpoly midi effect on the Squarp Hapax (see display). The first two notes have been recorded, and I'm adding some variation with a third 1/16 note. Simple, but having fun 🎶 #synthsky #dawless #electronicmusic #dance

No idea why I'm in such a cheesy mood, but today we remember those who fought for our freedom. Nowadays, it's not so self-evident anymore, but we will not forget them. Please ignore the Crocs 😁🧀

A recording to test the new location of the camera. 🎥 The Virus Ti is 20 years old but still rocks like crazy 🤘🏼

Flying Solo 😎
The Moog, Virus, Iridium and the Roland S1 sound great together. Quickly threw together a minijam to give you an impression..

For Rob, Michel, and Jeffrey, 135 bpm is almost a daily routine, but for me, this tempo is a bit out of my comfort zone. ✨
