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.

  • VLOG5 – 3 Module Challenge

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!

Here’s a lots of modulation from the DivKid & @steady_state_fate RND STEP (possible comeback of stock for that one soon!) with the SSF Entity Ultra Percussion! Just like the Entity Ultra Kick it’s a serious slab of percussion options for a modular system.

Recent fun with the new @vostok_instruments range Recent fun with the new @vostok_instruments range of modules. Sena’s triangle through trapezoid shaping making for some bass lines and melodies under audio rate modulation (like FM, but more stable and musical).

Veno Echo from @venusinstruments providing the ambient FX and AV-2 from @dpw_design utility-ing up my voltages. Of course the @mordaxsystems showing us all what's going on with the waveforms too.

I'm utterly gutted but I can't make it to Superboo I'm utterly gutted but I can't make it to Superbooth. The fun time happy hour that is post Brexit life in Britain brings passport rule changes that mean mine isn't valid to travel (despite having many months to expiring). 

For those that care to read my pain and you can settle into a little story time and what I’ve gone through the past few days and what’s actually change in travel rules in this post - https://bit.ly/DK-SB23 (link in bio)

Needless to say I’m utterly gutted and going to miss you all, acquaintances new and old. Let’s all chat after the event and I’ll be watching from home.
