  1. It’s worth checking his channel. The popcorn bass thing sounds really cool, almost like a synth bass.
  2. Yeah, the last three in this are very tough. Quintuplets are something I really need to work on.
  3. Came across this channel a few weeks ago and it’s a great practice tool for reading rhythmic groupings. https://youtube.com/@gridmic-readmusic
  4. Do you have any particular tracks/parts in mind? Are you specifically talking about bass sounds or about synth sounds in a wider context? Lots of 80s synth stuff was done on Roland Juno 6/60/106 (analogue subtractive) and Yamaha DX7 (FM). The Juno sounds are pretty simple as it has one oscillator that can do saw and/or square, and a square sub oscillator. Single envelope and 4-pole resonant lowpass filter. Also has a 1-pole static highpass filter. Juno magic comes from the stereo chorus. I might actually have a blast at doing some Juno-inspired patches. DX7 patches are harder to replicate. C4 can do some ballpark stuff. Most 80s tracks used one of the stock 32 presets. I’ve done a few C4 patches that are some way towards one of the bass patches (the one on Take On Me). C4 does classic envelope filter stuff easily. And yes, FI will do a lot of the analogue stuff brilliantly (better than C4 in many cases).
  5. Contact Panda. They may be able to send one or tell you where to get one.
  6. Okto Nøjs was a staple of mine for years. A fantastic pedal.
  7. Another to check out in the Doom-like category is the Crowther Prunes & Custard.
  8. Electrical certification still underway but progressing. I just got an updated hardware unit recently. (No, the labelling isn’t off-centre; it’s just a parallax effect due to the recessed ports and the angle I shot at.)
  9. Some absolutely lovely pedals here in great condition and Mike is a top guy to deal with. I love my Fliptop, which I got from him recently. That Xerograph is incredibly tempting as but I’m on a self-imposed pedal buying ban as I’m trying to save for an acoustic piano.
  10. Emma Electronic Okto Nøjs is very close to the Doom. Tech 21 Red Ripper is in that territory too (Sam Wilkes uses one).
  11. I’ve programmed some 808 style basses for the Future Impact. https://auraplug.com/fidatabase2/downloads/808-bass/ @admiralchew has one for sale at a very good price too.
  12. Thanks, that reads much more easily now. Might have been @GisserD, @andybassdoyle or @lee650 who had the orbit. Once upon a time I would have been all over this but since having 3.5 years waiting on a MIDIbass (and now given up) I’ve put loads of effort into keys so for synth sounds, keyboard synths are where it’s at for me now. Not quite got around to listing all my synth pedal stuff yet but probably will. Can’t really bear to part with my FIs though given I did loads of development work on them. (Similar pangs about my C4 as I contributed several hundred patches for it and that went a big way to selling it to and making it accessible for a lot of users.)
  13. I think it is actually about that rate to be honest.
  14. Just wanted to draw attention to this. I ordered one, but after 3 years and 7 months I still had no bass. I managed to get a refund after some hassle. Read about it here if interested:
  15. Hilariously I’ve just noticed I’ve been blocked from the Industrial Radio user group on Facebook. I simply followed up my earlier post about being frustrated at not getting any communication and said that I’d now been issued a refund and that I hoped anyone else waiting got their instrument soon. Don’t see why that is so controversial. Seems they are trying to stop anyone reading bad press. Wonder if they are also trying to ensure that no one else tries to cancel their order. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hope no one else gets stung.
