Studio Snapshot : Dark Energy

Brand: Doepfer

Model: Dark Energy
Link: http://www.doepfer.de/Dark_Energy_e.htm

BLURB: This is an “all-in-one-semi-modular” synth similar to a Korg MS-10. It’s internally patched and allows you to do some basic patching. IT IS AWESOME!

This is a single oscillator PURE ANALOGUE synth with 1 EG, 2 LFOs, 1 VCF and heaps of knobs and switches. It also has a very impressive MIDI (and USB!) spec, plus an audio input.

There’s also CV inputs on the front for VCO pitch, Pulse Width, VCF, VCA, Gate.

Studio Snapshot: STILL Building Analogue Controllers…!

OK, we’re now got most parts needed to build these things. The main controller face will be 9 units high and have seventy patch points on it, over a dozen knobs, 1 joystick, several sliders, switchers, multiples, randomiser, wave fuckers, a coffee grinder…and other STUFF.

The remote controller will have several sliders, one JoyStick, randomiser, random slide modulator thing…and MORE STUFF!

The objective is to build controllers that interface with synths in a way that is different to conventional keyboard controllers.

More updates coming…

ReGen names “The Product” in top 20 for 2014

angelspit-tp-cover-600ReGen Magazine, Industrial Music’s bible, names Angelspit’s “THE PRODUCT” in their top 20 albums for 2014.

As fervently acerbic as ever and full of all the punk rock energy that has defined the band for over a decade, Angelspit unveiled what was perhaps its most belligerent and most collaborative release to date. Creating its own microcosm of a corporatized world, resulting in an individual model for business and artistic expression, Angelspit is in a class all its own. Never afraid to infuse accessible pop melodies into a caustic blend of industrialized rock and acidic mechanical noise, ZooG Von Rock and his cohorts continue to confront and confound, even taking Angelspit into darker and more disquieting territory with no signs of softening up.”

Main Modular taking shape.

Agent13 IS AWESOME!

He’s helped me design and build this little puppy. It’s a controller and live Analogue switcher for the Doepfer Modular Synth.

Yes, it works. Yes, it ROCKS! It will be the main instrument for the USA tour.

ReGen Magazine reviews Angelspit’s “THE PRODUCT”

angelspit-tp-cover-600

Ilker Yücel (Ilker81x) gives Angelspit’s recent album “The Product” 4 stars.

“Angelspit’s most collaborative and yet most singular effort yet, with a few pensive moments that along with the band’s usual acerbic bombast make for an enticing and confrontational listen.
Therein lies the irony that, along with the subtle infusion of familiar melodies that take the songs outside of their confrontational and acerbic facades, lends to the album’s power and makes The Product one of the strongest entries in Angelspit’s prolific output.”
