DivKid 2016 Rundown

Inspired by Justin from Abstract Data‘s Facebook 2016 run down month by month (and the others that followed suit) I wanted to round up the year month by month as to what went on. Partly just to look back over the amount of videos that went on and also to show you lot that list too as there’s probably some that were missed. Prepare for a big list of links, here goes!

January 2016

The year kicked off with the Mystic Circuits Vert video and I had an SH-101 for a few weeks on loan to play around with. For those interested I prefer the SH-09. I can’t remember what else went on to be honest, like most probably an uneventful first month of the year.

  • Mystic Circuits – Vert
  • Erica Synths – Black Dual EG / LFO
  • Playing with the SH-101
  • Sound Diary #8 – Feedback Paths

February 2016

I remember spending loads of time mulling over the details of all the things announced at NAMM in January it took a while. Modular Podcast also launched this month with Greg and Matthew joining me for the first show, it feels like ages ago now … probably because I’m bored of their company at this point 🙂 . I also made a video for the Flame FX6 as I wanted to do it and reach out to the company but never managed to get any response from them. I find it odd how they’re completely off the radar yet have good modules. I also got round to the first performance video from Ross Lamond’s Bells N Whistles Crackles N Pops from November 2015. I’m always behind with event videos but I capture things when I can then get to editing in-between work.

August 2016

Modular Meets held it’s biggest (and probably biggest modular event in the UK) event to date with Modular Meets Leeds. The crowd, manufacturers and performers were all awesome! Sonic State came and live streamed the footage which you can say HERE. Modular Podcast spoke about oscillator in episode 6 of the show and I’d been playing with the Chaos Divider, AD/LFO, the DeepMind 12 and Tonnetz Sequent. I also made my first VLOG, in a vane attempt to be a child YouTube billionaire! 😉

September 2016

As you can see above August was a busy one for videos and September was just as bonkers. I had lots of fun with the Moffenzeef Modular G.M.O and it’s alternative Bobcat firmware along with Reaktor Blocks, Mutable Music Things Ears, the Vermona twinOUT, VSL VCF-74, a nice Pulp Logic lunchbox case and talking FX with Modular Podcast. September means back to work for me (teaching in schools) so not sure how I manage to put out this lot.

October 2016

Another another busy month with plenty of videos and thinking back no doubt loads of prep for the Lamond Design event “Bells N Whistles Crackles N Pops” that’s in November each year. I also got a sneak peak at the Arturia DrumBrute prior to release with the Modular Podcast trio.

November 2016

I think it’s fair to call November DLD month, totally blown about how good that sounds and it continues to impress still. There was also the Red Dragon filter from Hexinverter which is a great sounding “soviet based” filter. There’s the cheap and cheerful Happy Nerding ADSR which is a simple but nicely playable 6HP envelope as well as the amazingly small PICO DSP providing stereo FX in only 3HP, which seems nuts.

December 2016

Jingle Divs Jingle Divs Jingle all the way! There’s some Chaos Divider action, Eurocraic Irish synth meet pics, AJH Sonic XV, Hexinverter BD9, XAOC Kamieniec and the first patch with Morpheus from Rossum Electro–Music. I can’t remember too much from that month to be honest so there you go. All the videos from 2016 which looking back looks pretty nuts!

It's Monday it's FEATURED SYSTEMS time! This week It's Monday it's FEATURED SYSTEMS time! This week we have a system from DivKid community member 'oliodnb'.

The dual @tiptopaudiofficial Mantis cases look great together with modules from @busycircuits, @schlappi_engineering, @noiseeng, @wmdevices, @intellijel, @siammodular, @xaocdevices, @instruomodular, @steady_state_fate, @expertsleepers, @qubitelectronix, @nano.modules, @intellijel, @joranalogue, @happynerding, @worng_electronics and more. The modular working against the @soma_laboratory Pulsar-23 is a nice idea and I love the little elevated @otomachines BOUM. 

FEATURED SYSTEMS is a community initiative where for a whole week we focus a channel of conversation in our Discord server. As a community we talk about musical backgrounds, module choices, case layouts, interfacing with a studio, performance techniques all focussed around one set up. 

If you’d like to take part head to the link in bio for more info and to support via Patreon, giving you access to our community Discord along with exclusives such as store discounts to @patchwerks, @perfect_circuit and @signal_sounds, videos and PDF patchbooks.

It's Monday ... it's FEATURED SYSTEMS tiiiiiiiiime It's Monday ... it's FEATURED SYSTEMS tiiiiiiiiime, this time we have a system from @rural__urban 

What do you think of an all black panel system? Important to you? Don't care - embrace the franken-synth? Or actively avoid it?

Each week I share a member of the DivKid communities set up, whether a small or large modular system, whole studio pic or just a simple little pod of controller ideas.

This is a community initiative where we spend the week focused on one persons set up discussing musical backgrounds, performance ideas, module choices and layout, wider studio integration and more. It's been a fantastic talking point and sharing of ideas and experiences for the community so far. 

Over on the DivKid Discord there's more pictures of the wider studio and this set up minus my little edits (no his case doesn't don a miniature Angus Young!) and more info on the set up. 

If you'd like to take part, discuss with the community and submit your own system then head over to Patreon.com/divkid and become a supporter gaining access to the Discord community along with lots of exclusive videos, PDF patchbooks and more. Link in bio. 

In this system @needhamwoodworks @eowave_modular @instruomodular @makenoisemusic @qubitelectronix @moogsynthesizers @xaocdevices @steady_state_fate @4ms_company @ericasynths @mordaxsystems - see anyone else? Give them a tag in the comments!

Thanks to @jethrobagust for this mini housing for the @mordaxsystems DATA. There's USB power on the side so it's made an easy plug in and play oscilloscope for the studio. Works with a battery bank nicely too.
