Ambient study – Steve’s MS-22, Chord v2, Magneto, ER-101

Patch notes

  • Channels 1 and 2 of the ER-101 are sequencing each of Chord V2’s four oscillators individually (CV A and CV B both being used for pitch)
  • Channels 3 and 4 are polymetrically sequencing the cutoff frequencies of Steve’s MS-22’s high-pass and low-pass filter.
  • The phasing of the different loop lengths of the different sequences results in an evolving ambient piece.
  • Magneto is providing a wash of delay and reverb with plenty of wow and flutter

Updated Steve’s MS-22 calibration guide

Some customers have asked me to elaborate a bit more on the calibration procedure for Steve’s MS-22. It took me a while to write, but I’m happy to say the improved calibration guide is now part of the manual as an appendix.

I’ve also taken the opportunity to change the manual over to a Google Document, making it easier for people to suggest changes or point out things which may be improved.

The updated manual can be found here.

New video: 3x Steve’s MS-22 fat percussion ensemble

Check out this new video where I play an awesomely fat percussion patch with three MS-22’s. In my humble opinion, this is the best demo video that I’ve made so far. Enjoy! And have a nice weekend! :)

PS: There’s still one week until the end of my summer deals, pre-order your MS-22 now! :)

Patch notes

  • Bass drum (leftmost MS-22)
    • The MS-22’s resonance is set to the edge of self-oscillation, making it pingable by sending a trigger into the input.

Doing the HAINBACH thing: Test-equipment music with Steve’s MS-22 and Wiretaps

Around the time Hainbach invited me to join his series of Superbooth streams, I felt inspired to give making test-equipment music a try myself. At that time I had just received some Yokogawa test equipment for evaluation. So, this seemed like an excellent time to throw together a patch with Steve’s MS-22 and some Wiretaps and record it.

New batches + summer deals

Hi everybody,

In the coming two weeks I expect to start on a new batch of assembled Steve’s MS-22 modules. I’ll also be receiving a new batch of PCB/panel sets. These will be the last batches until autumn/winter as I’ll be taking a break from production to work on two new modules.

To give these new batches a little boost, I’m offering two deals until the 14th of June 2020:
