Here is a blog article about how I have tamed my large eurorack system using inter-case and intra-case trunking modules.  I describe my journey to confusion, decisions I made to tame the beast, and what you need to look out…

Lenny from After Later Audio has sent me eight (yes, eight) modules that make up his audio mixing ecosystem.  Bartender and Barback version 2 will be available for purchase very soon, and the new designs include improvements and also a…

I caught up with Warren from Phase Engineering yesterday and we recorded a conversation about Phase Engineering and the brand new LEQ-5 Eurorack Module.  I have also dropped some sound demos at the end of the chat.  I really love…

Here is a brand shiny new article about the Phase Engineering LEQ-5 inductor based EQ.  

You can read the full review, here.  

I just completed a thorough test and review of the Innerclock Solutions Sync-Gen 3XL and Multi-Split devices. 

In short, Innerclock make a wonderfully easy to use and accurate clocking system for your DIN SYNC, MIDI and Eurorack mixed hardware environment.

The Problem

I bought a Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave in Melbourne (Australia) in late 2023.  Not surprisingly, it quickly became my favourite instrument.  However, during February 2024 I noticed that the Amount knob for Envelopes 3 and 4 was not…

I am super proud of the work Jim Coker at Five12 has done in bringing the Quad Variable LFO (QVL) to market.  I helped pretty substantially with testing and feature recommendations and am ecstatic with how well it has come…

So not many updates to the site in the last long while but a lot has been happening.  My eurorack has reached Final Form (of course it has…) at 18u, 168hp.  It is a wonderful environment to play in and…

I have updated my Soundcloud page.  I will be slowly removing the ODDS AND ENDS page of this site and migrating all of these tracks to Soundcloud.

For those who care, riboflavin is vitamin B2, and the Weston Precision Audio B2 Kick/Bass produces the big and booming bass tones in the last half of the performance.  It is a wonderful module. 

You can hear the mixed and…

It has been a very long time since I updated the news page of this site, however that does not mean I have not been extremely busy with music.  

WEBSITE UPDATES

Tusk is my new (and first) album of electronic music. You can buy or listen to Tusk for free on the Music or on my Bandcamp page. The EP is also available on Google Play and iTunes etc, however the…

Yeah so another one done.  This one I am pretty happy with.  Lots of beats being thrown around.  And some melody.

Just what the Internet needs!  Another blog!  But this one is different! Your mileage may vary!

Yeah I started a blog page to host longer posts that might be reviews or whatever else comes to mind.  

And here it is!

My Modular setup has grown to a pretty decent size.  More to the point, the creative possibilities and processes it unlocks are pretty amazing.  So many interesting combinations and cross pollination opportunities between each module and workflow.  For the synth…

Hey so I have loaded up a few more pieces and not updated the site.  Good work Steve!

TUSK

First and Last

All of these are Modular Synth compositions and usually written to try a new idea or…

Last year I made the decision to offload all my rack gear and switch to 500 Series format.  My requirements had changed and I needed my hardware to match my desired workflow.  500 Series is basically a format that provides…

Grandiose Delusions is completely Eurorack except the Mellotron sounds at the end which are VST.

Compressed via my JLM LA500A stereo matched pair.  

This track is almost totally eurorack based instruments except the chord voice which is Predator 2 VST.  

Sequenced with the Five12 Vector and a Circadian Rhythms.

Machine Learning

And that is one reason I have not updated the website since July 2018.  Anyway there is a lot of new music on the Bandcamp page including:

ACID JAM

I used primarily the Studio Electronics Tonestar 2600 for the…
