SOURCE INSTRUMENTS:

DIGITAL ANALOG HYBRIDS:

● Elektron Machine Drum

This versatile digital drum machine is given an EXTREME makeover when combined with Analog Tube Processing. You’ve never heard anything like this.

● Korg ER-1

This little box sounded like the BIG DOGS when juiced by Tubes, Tape, and Transformers.

● Symbolic Sound Kyma Capybara
● Eventide H8000FW

These ultra flexible synthesis engines created some of the newest and freshest drums I’ve heard.  When DRIVEN thru my coloration devices, you’d NEVER guess they were digital synthesizers.
(no fx, only synthesis allowed)

THE BIONIC DRUM MACHINES (aka THE 6 MILLION DOLLAR HITS):

● E-mu SP-1200
● Roland TR-707
● Oberheim DMX

Three of my favorite contenders of yesteryear are back with a Complete Overhaul.  If you are under 24, these machines may have been responsible for your birth.  Many a lady got swooned by these retro rockers. 

BE AWARE.  When combined with the Coloration Command Squad (AKA the DIRTY EIGHT) these are NO LONGER yo momma’s drum machines…

‘cause these beats are F-F-FRESH.

I JUST COULDN’T STOP:

● Yamaha DX200*
● Emu Mo Phatt*

After hearing the other machines, I had to see if the magic worked on these as well. Yep.  Check the bonus folders for the results.

MORE ANALOG THAN ANALOG:

● Roland TR-909, TR-808, TR-606
● Jomox MBase 11
● Vermona DRM-1 MKIII

Thru the BOMB SQUAD BELOW… f’ing fuggedaboutit

 

ANALOG PROCESSING:

Every single one of these devices has a unique sonic signature, giving character where there wasn’t any, and accelerating what was already there. 

TUBES:

● Thermionic Culture Vulture
● Source Plus Tube Amp w/ Vintage NOS 1957 French Mazda Tubes

TRANSFORMERS:

● Atlas Pro Juggernaut Twin
● A-Design EM-Gold
● Neve 1073 Preamp

If you work soley in a computer based workstation, you might not know about the added magic brought by authentic tubes and transformers. 

These are pro engineers’ secret weapons.  There is a reason why large tube and transformer based vintage consoles still command a premium price. 

Many expensive compressors gain their unique character from driving the tube or transformer input stage.  

You’ll be impressed by how authentic digital compression can sound on your drum buss, because the drums have the input drive already captured.

HARDWARE TAPE EMULATION:

● Anamod ATS-1

The ATS-1 produces great sounding tape distortion, but that’s NOT how I choose to use it.  I applied the ATS-1 subtly as a synthesis tool ONLY when it sonically enhanced the body and tone of the drum sound. 

There are already good and distorted tape drums out there on the Internet.  This is something entirely NEW.

ANALOG ENVELOPE SHAPERS:

● Mutronics Mutator
● Moog MF-101
● Empirical Labs Distressor

Occasionally I added some additional envelope shaping using the devices above. 

The Mutronics Mutator was made famous by Radiohead and Daft Punk, while the Moog Filter was made famous by practically everyone else. 

The Empirical Labs Distressor was used exclusively as an envelope shaping option, never as a coloration device.  As you can see, I had that covered.
