Hello fellow fellas :)

It has been a while I posted news here but there is a good reason for that: I was out for a trip to NYC and went into total vacation mode during the past 10 days.

Here are some impressions that I want to share with you guys. Loved the vibe and the skyscrapers a lot x

Musically, the Tracker Mini made once more a perfect travel companion! We travelled with small footprint luggage so I had no space to carry a Digitakt with me, but why if the Tracker can make it? I had it with me all the time and even on the subway I created some jams with it (and those rides can be very long!).

We also visited a super nice exhibition titled "Dream House" located right at the Broadway, 5 minutes walking distance to our hotel at Ground Zero. This exhibition…

🎛️ A new Jam video and some inflight greetings 🛫

Warm greetings from 37000 feet above the ground! We’re on half way of our flight LX16 to New York and I am working on some video footage I took the other night ❤️

I am practicing further with the Solar 42F internal sequencers. As much as I like to write the melodies with Ableton Live and send them via the Korg SQ-1 to the Solar, I want to make better use of the internal features because it's better for travelling and I also want to get better with performing on one machine.

For this jam, I devided the touch sensitive keyboard in two separate controllers, each of them is playing different melodies on the two VCO voices using the sequencer features.

🎛️ New Toy in the Signal Chain! 🎛️

After my last gig, I realized just how wide the dynamic range of my setup can get — especially with the Lyra-8 pushing the PA system to its limits (sorry, ears 😅).

Up to now, I hadn't been using any limiters or compressors at the end of my signal chain — relying mostly on the venue’s mixer. But it became clear I needed something that could tame the lows and adapt more flexibly to different room acoustics.

Flashback to a great chat with @nogasayan at Superbooth 25 about the Golden Master Pedal by @Endorphin.es - He had tested it on video, and by chance, my friend @winters5796 had the Eurorack version and let me borrow it to try out 🙌

After a few tests, I’m really impressed! The multiband processing is the killer feature for me:
