Sherman Filterbank 2. This is the dual rack version. Here are more simple sounding samples of what the filter sounds like. The only sound at the input is just a single oscillator coming from the Vo...

This is just footage I shot while taking an after-dinner walk. Since I had no method of stabilization whatsoever, everything was super-shaky. But I think it looks OK at the increased speed even at 1...

I happen to be in NYC at the same time, so here's a few quick AES '09 photos. The show seemed a bit smaller than I remember, but it still has some very cool stuff. New goodies include that L...

Studio Electronics Omega 8 as a drum machine. Rather than play the usual handful of musical hooks, I thought wouldn't it be useful if it was drum loop time. Well, long gone are my TR-909, TR-808...
