HARDCORE PONG: ANGELSPIT’S EMAX 1 RACK

ANGELSPIT’S EMAX 1 RACK  $1,200
Zoog’s EMAX1 Rack. Used on almost every recording zoog has made since 1993 (!!). Also comes with Merch Pack + Signed Hardcore Pong Poster Hardcore Pong Tshirt + Digital Download.

“I absolutely love this machine and will be saddened to see her go. The Emax has a BIG sound. It has a gritty sound due to it’s 12bit sampling, yet fat and lush due to it’s analog filters. This is the base model – not the HD or SE. She has many disks, they contain elements to Angelspit songs. The Power board was replaced in January 2015. She works like a charm!

“My faithful old TR626 loves to be distorted and bit-crushed. The TRIG-OUT, individual outs and groove/swing makes for some cool drum blip noises. This little drum machine is very basic, easy to use and great fun! This drum machine has not been circuit bent – but it can definitely get bent…!”

Studio Snapshot : Doepfer A-118 and A-148

Brand: Doepfer

Model: A-118 and A-148
Link: http://www.doepfer.de/a118.htm and http://www.doepfer.de/a148.htm

BLURB:
A-118 Random Noise.
You can have this making the basic sound source for 2 different drums sounds PLUS supplying the random voltage for a Sample&Hold.
One of the Noise O/Ps can be “tuned” – you can shape the hi/low colour – which is really helpful.

A-148 Duel Sample & Hold.
This has so many cool applications. If you think with an open mind you can really use it to make some inventive sounds.

Obviously they both work together to make a S&H – Sample and Hold…the thing that makes the resonant gurgle sound.
We often add a small random element to all our sounds – it makes them come alive.
