Dug this up while cleaning up a drive.
not sure exactly when I made it, but think it was mid 1990’s

And… its… Done
So, seems this UDIO thing is quite “interesting”.
Glad I got to mostly have the FUCK AROUND century,
before the FIND OUT one kicked in.
Love this aesthetic
USEFUL!

Incredibly proud to have been involved with this #2!
So I said…
It would be great if you guys made a virtual version of your µFreak, since you make such great sounding virtual filters, and the rest is all digital anyway!
They went me one better!
To be able to have deep involvement in this has been one of the most satisfying experiences in my career.
The miniFREAK-V killer feature you ask?
The hardware acts as a perfect control surface for the software version so you get all the realtime hands on control of a hardware synth, but the multiple instances of a plugin.
Normally, you buy a hardware synth and have only 1 ‘Instance’ as its atoms!, but… This one…
Buy a very VERY fun poly synth with an incredible array of oscillator types, and a CRAZY useful arpeggator / sequencer, and get a software version you can use in your DAW, giving you as many ‘COPIES’ as your cpu can handle.

Incredibly proud to have been involved with this:
More than two years ago, I bought a µFreak, it is easily the most fun synth I’ve had in 30 years… but I had a few thoughts…
So, I had a conversation with the brilliant welcoming people at Arturia.
That ended up with me being quite deeply involved in the development of this absolutely superb instrument.
The Arturia miniFreak, If your a synth geek, I definitely recommend checking it out.
And the lovely Loopop seems to like it !
Panama 1989
So back in1989 a friend (C Giles) and i did a STEINSKY inspired track, all done on a Tascam 4 track cassette, Ensoniq, SQ80, a DX7 and an Akai S900. We created a beat track, then performed the rest in live to tape then sampled bits of the radio news reports as it was coming in live.
The way the reporter was expressing totally justifiable fear, (understandable) but also some indignation that he was not ‘TOLD’ really spoke volumes about US entitlement!
We finished the track 45 mins after the news report had ended ran off a normal cassette and walked down to the national radio station, 2JJ.
We told the on air DJ what we had done, and he playefd it (unlistend) to Australia 10 mins later. One of the best experiences of my musical production life.
THIS WAS IT:
Dredging up the past…
Revisited some old REASON files from about 10 years ago. Its kind of interesting how the workflow and options of that program lead me to more experimental stuff than other DAW’s
The little synth that keeps growing
I bought the Microfreak as a poly aftertouch controller and for its fun Arp/Sequencer. Over time Arturia just kept adding more and more features to this really rather boggling little synth.
