Bitstream 3X Arpeggiator Driving the Super Jupiter

My studio laptop is in for repairs so I’ve been experimenting with the standalone arpeggiator on the Bitstream 3X. Once I have learned a little more about this complex feature of the BS3X I’ll write more about it. For now here’s a short piece I created by controlling the Roland MKS-80 with the BS3X.

DGK at Try This #2 (Part 2)

Here’s the second full length segment from the DGK set at the Try This #2 on March 25, 2011. Soon I’ll be posting two or three more segments from the set to complete the non-stop one hour and twenty nine minutes of our performance.

Arpeggio with Nightmare

This arpeggio includes stacked Roland D-50 and Roland MKS-80 sounds, plus some mad, metallic, nightmarish, knob tweaking that I did on the MKS-80. For me the piece invokes a vision of unsuspecting creatures going about their business, unaware of a predatory horror that lurks in their midst.
