Behringer TD-3-MO beta testing and demo
Finally I can share the top secret project of the last months. I was not allowed to talk about but here it is: the devilfish in our price range. Hope you like the video.
Roland TR-999 KORN HARDCORE CUSTOMS TR-909 Mod
Duration 10h+ for Mods: 909€ +Parts and postage. Spring 2024 including Revolution 909 mod kit. Sick!! Spring 2020 new full length video! Completely reverted the previous work. NOW it feels like my very own 909. Notice that signatures from Jeff Mills and Juan Atkins that i was lucky enough to meet during gigs. So the final list of modifications is almost endless since the great nava extra 9 project and Robin Whittle documented a lot of other stuff that i needed to try out. I was actually ok with it now to not…read more
Behringer TD-3 STACHELFISH MOD
After growing up with the sound of Trax, Djax-Up and German Acid+Rave (Harthouse, Junkfood etc) i owned a RE-303 25 years later that I sold since I thought something is missing after working with a couple of TB-303. But now Iam pretty satisfied with the sound of this little beast after a fistful essential modifications outlined in this gearslutz thread. Those were done first (thx Carl) and after that I needed some more (as usual). After some debugging (thanks again to maffez and nordcore!) the „stachelfish“ was born. Here is the 9 min complete walkthrough:…read more
EMU-EMULATOR II + refurbished and DEMO
THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE… RENT GEAR HERE: [abc-bookingform] I had the chance to grab an all-time fav from an Emu collector 30 minutes away from home. The EMU EMULATOR TWO with an PLUS expansion (double tap 0 and ascess second bank). Beside the fact, that he got rid of one of his EII´s i was able to check out the sound of ALL of the EMULATORS (incl. Filters) at his home studio. I was very impressed by the sound of the Emulator I but i liked the versatility of the EII…read more
E-MU SP-12 turbo mod+repair
Got this iconic beat machine in town for a fair price. Battery needed a replacement and all of the 30 push buttons were cleaned with isopropanol. Fader 8 was flakey so i decided to replace all of them. Backlight was a bit dim, so i soldered a new one in place. After that i experimented with the ssm2044 chip and came up with an external control box for both of the filters. Tweakers heaven!!! Mods: 400€ + parts (knobs+housing) + postage (No VAT (small business §19 (1) UStG)) Cutoff 1,2 Reso…read more
E-MU EMAX II repair+floppy emulator
I found this broken at a local shop and fixed some problems. First there was the powersupply broken and needed replacement (+15, -15, +5 Volt) Next up it was not possible to load the OS via the floppydrive (are all the included disks failed?) so i replaced it with a gotek+display+rotary. Now it works fine and got thousands of sounds on USB;)

Here is my final take on modification of 808´s. After building different clones the original is here – finally.
