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!

STEREO STRIP is out now! I’m proud to present STEREO STRIP is out now! 

I’m proud to present to you STEREO STRIP. My next module made in collaboration with @befacosynth . Stereo Strip is a stereo EQ, VCA, panner, distortion, mute & line level input and/or output interface for external gear. 

Stereo Strip builds upon the well trodden paths of studio channel strips expanding them for musical and creative modular use with voltage control. Simply try swapping out simple VCAs for Stereo Strip to enhance your patches with EQ and voltage controlled panning. Or get creative and check out the patches below for highly shapeable distortion hacks, mind bending stereo ring modulation, CV routing, feedback waveshaping and more. 

Head to the link in my bio to check it out. There's a PDF manual with patch examples and a quick start guide, my demo video and plenty of stores with stock ready to go for the launch.

Beautiful work from @audio.gear.obsession with the Beautiful work from @audio.gear.obsession with their new (upcoming) Dynamics Engine stereo compressor module. 

Love the different sizes of knobs and it all feels rock solid as you’d expect. The packaging is beautiful too, possibly the first and last stamped wax seal on a module I’ll see!

Like SUMMING FACILITY (their mixer module, search my YouTube for a video) it’s all high end audio design and I’m excited to get into it.

Happy new year! Here’s to a good 2022 for everyo Happy new year! Here’s to a good 2022 for everyone! 

I posted a longer end of year update on my previous post if you’re interested in a bit of what’s to come from us.
Hello! I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas Hello! I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and whatever you do, wherever you are and however you celebrate I hope you have a great end to the year going into the next one.

After a quiet year in terms of output from me I'd also like to give a bit of a longer update, so strap in!

I’m excited to head into a new year, catching up with lots of people that make our modular and wider music tech scenes great. I’m also looking forward to exploring some fantastic bits of gear, looking at both new & old designs that I'd love to cover properly in new videos too.

2022 will bring lots more from me as I work back towards a higher output and pace than the past year. I'll also be bringing into new videos more of my background that varies beyond the world of Eurorack. But don't worry the modular videos aren't going anywhere and new things will grow and be related rather than side stepping.

We also have DivBaby no.2 due early in January! We're all incredibly excited including DivBaby no.1 who's now far from a baby. With that in mind January will start quietly in terms of output but if you need to get in touch you can message here, email through my website or you can join the amazing community in my Discord built around those supporting me on Patreon. I chat and hang out there daily, the link is in my profile with perks-a-plenty.

The new studio is nearly set up (if I pretend a monster amount of wiring isn't left to do) and it's feeling great in here. I'm looking forward to sharing the journey into building this new space and I'd also love to hear your ideas, tips, tricks and workflow approaches to making the most of a creative space for making music and videos.

The response to the new videos in the past few weeks has been amazing, thank you to everyone that's watched, shared and commented on those. I've always tried to angle my demos around what can be done creatively and musically with a given set of tools and sounds so leaning into that more with recent videos has been great. I'll be continuing to push into demos as educational tutorials that hopefully reach beyond any single piece of gear.

That's it for now, have a great holiday and I'll be back soon.
