LIVE AT NOPHEST 2008 ATL

Just jamming, nothing serious. A little unadulterated & obnoxious neo-acid for the ravers.

RD: 808, 303 (Devilfish), Machinedrum, Monomachine, Kaoss Pad, Roland SBX-10 sync box.

JK: Doepfer Suitcase = Livewire AFG, Plan B Model15 (2), MakeNoise QMMG, Doepfer A-119, 188-1y (256), Doepfer A-149-1/2 and a few other goodies. I forget.

...and no computer.

NON-SPECIFIC ACID WITH PROTOTYPE MAKE NOISE QMMG

Only the Doepfer monster case was used, everything is just blinking idly, in attempt to distract you.

Doepfer A-155 randomly sequencing a Livewire AFG sine,
Doepfer A-147 square wave clocking Doepfer A-149-1/2, Doepfer A-149-2 random gates triggering QMMG CV triggers and CV resonance in no particular order, QMMG master out lightly treated with Doepfer A-199 spring rev & Doepfer A-188-1Y (256) (CV2 modded with A-149-1).

Actually the patch took less time to set up than it did to write this explanation.

Mind you, this is a prototype QMMG, and I'm only using 2 of the 4 modes (and of those 2 modes used I didn't properly demonstrate their respective ranges, nor did I intend to) this does not properly demonstrate all of the module's enormous potential, just a little jam.

CITY SKIES FESTIVAL

Video and Picture from the City Skies festival in Decatur, Georgia last weekend. They brought out a bunch of goodies that include: 3 Doepfer cases filled with Harvestmann, LiveWire, Plan-B, Cwejman, Cyndustries and were able to rock the dual Livewire AFG's for the first time. Plus the Cwejman S1, Korg Chaos KP3, Jazzmutant Lemur, and Yamaha Tenori On.
