PunkClock 021020
It was one of those days! Nothing went according to plan & I had to catch myself before I got too frustrated.
As everything else was going wrong... of course the Robots mutinied!
Getting any given box to act as the Session Clock seems to be way harder than it should! ...continually, I find myself falling back on the Wolf. It just does the job, no questions asked, no bullshit!
As such, it was officiating this scenario ...despite lack of any Sonic Contribution.
Another similarly silly situation is trying to clock Volcas. Particularly the Vocla Modular.
I was running Gate out of the Sh--01a & that worked for awhile... but then it suddenly didn't. Fucking gremlins! :[
...so you'll see the Volca Beats sitting there, doing nothing save for acting as a MIDI to Korg Sync Convertor.
...& fuckery doth abound!
Roland & Behringer Sequencers are some other things that I feel tend to be too complicated. In the case of the Roland JU-06a, it's just too damn short, stepwise! Also you have to memorize all these key combinations... or have the ( stupid hard to read, weirdly laid out ) manual at hand.
With the SH-01a some of the most important functions, like Clock Divisions... aren't even mentioned in the Manual!
The MS-1 is a similar story to the JU-06a.
Is it really so hard to just have a dedicated set of Record/Play/Save/Erase Buttons? Why should I have to hold 3 Buttons, then press another, hold 2 Buttons, press another then hold 2 more buttons...
JUST TO SAVE A PATTERN!?
...that's bullshit.
Another thing with the Sh-01a... is now that I've started to get the hang of where all the "under the hood features" are hiding... I accidentally erase my progress looking for them!
By the time I started over thrice... my inspiration was near sapped & I resolved to make things short & simple... lest the whole venture wind up a waste!
As such, you'll kindly excuse this sub par offering & pretend it's the Cinematic Backing Track for a Low Flyover Shot as we descend from the Clouds toward an Alien World & then near some large, curious Machinery... chugging away.
As the Camera weaves & snakes through the tangle of hoses, conduit & moving parts... we zero in on a bit of sludge encrusted Clockwork...
fade to black.
See ya next week...
( SH-01a: Bass [DRY] • JU-06a: Chords [DRY] • MS-1: Sequence [EchoBrain] • Volca Modular: "Sludge Encrusted Clockwork" [Built in Reverb/Delay thing] • Yellow Sony Sports Walkman: FM Radio Static [Fuzzy] • Robots: Foreboding Cloud of confusion, false starts, mistakes & discouraging nonsense [With Smirks on their stupid circuits] • Caalamus: poorly steeped Green Tea, Procrastination & copious expletives!!! [That is how the Callamus do] ) :P

punkclock-100923-(-behringer-rd8-cat,
That empty frame in the top right bothered me. But how do you show my hand, awkwardly playing Keys, while also filling the void? Easy! ...throw some googly eyes & legs on a couple of Capacitors in Gimp & make them dance using the magic of GreenScreen!
...the A/V is slightly out of Synch :P
But anyway, RD8 on the Trap... I think the Snare Reverb is from the Mackie. Pretty sure the rest of the Kit & the Percussion is Dry.
The Cowbell comes in first & then, as the High Hats begin to surface... we hear a bit from the Behringer Cat, with our friend the TC Electronic EchoBrain in tow. Noodles are part of a Balanced Diet!
Then the rest of the Hats, as the Roland SH01a introduces it's Bass contribution.
Now the Kick, then the Snare...
What do you know? ...it's time for the JX08 to play us some Cello, making use of it's Onboard Effects.
There, everyone is present & accounted for. Now we'll play Musical Chairs for awhile & then it's time for dessert. What a lovely dinner party!
Turpentine? No, it's just you... I thought the Wine was delicious!

punkclock-112723-(-boss-dr110,-behringer
Another simple one. MUCH better than last week however!
Just a single Drum Pattern, a Bassline & some Odd Meter Chords, as to oscillate around the Primary Rhythm. Then a little Poem on the way out.

Here we find the TT-78 providing the Rhythm & the TimbreWolf playing Bass, with a bit of Vibrato.
The MiniBrute supplies an echoing Sequence, with some Rubbernecking here & there.
The Chord Progression in the main Section is courtesy of the SH-01a... which, if I remember correctly, was making use of the TC Electronic June 60 Chorus.
However, in the Break, chordal duties are assumed by the Volca Keys, with it's onboard Delay.
A similar switch occurs with the Drums, in that the TT-78 gives way to the Volca Beats.
Continuing the trend, the Sequence we hear coming from the MiniBrute makes way for one provided by it's diminutive counterpart, dry.
Rounding out the roster, we have on offer, a plate of Skysurfing Sirin Noodles.
Return to the first Section... fade out, that's it ;]
Thanks for dropping by!
