I’ve been a big fan and ardent user of UVI Falcon for quite a few years. (Actually since before it was called that!) It’s hands down the most flexible, modular, limitless sound design tool available for general use. It’s all over my album (and plenty of other tracks) in various …
As readers would gather from previous posts, I’m a fan of Elektron hardware. Yesterday I ran across this Synth Anatomy article talking about new corporate ownership of Elektron. The article included this statement: “They promise that for customers, partners, and the wider Elektron community, day-to-day operations continue as usual.” When …
Just snagged one of these, the new CME H12MIDIpro, on the pre-order deal from CME Pro. I heard about this device just a few weeks ago via CME Pro’s customer mailing list and was intrigued. Right now I have three active dedicated MIDI controllers in the studio (and a few …
Today I put my Patreon site into action. I routinely make things for musicians, typically on my YouTube channel, but sometimes digital artifacts as well. Now I have a place to easily vend these, much like my music on Bandcamp. I feel like right now my focus on UVI Falcon …

I’m a recent migrant to the Elektron ecosystem — my Digitakt II and Digitone II have inspired me to make music since I got them. While they don’t replace my DAW or other hardware, they’re a great addition. I love that they can be self-contained, using either unit or both …
With our recent move to a Soundcraft Ui24R digital mixer, we also expanded our ability for monitor mixes. Previously we had four mixes available. Now we have eight available monitor mixes, so everyone can enjoy their own. This opened the door for us to start using in-ear monitors. Most modern …
Since just before New Year 2013, I’ve owned and loved the (now discontinued) Line 6 StageScape M20d digital mixer. It has provided me over ten years of solid performance, and rave reviews for my bands’ sound at gigs. But over the past few months I’ve struggled with a sudden onset …
I just published the latest in my video series on getting your Behringer MOTÖR keyboard working well with Pro Tools as a recording controller. If you’re not familiar with the series, check out this earlier post for a link to the first YouTube video, and then go from there. This …
