mixdown & premaster

Posted by in mixdown & premaster

Since today’s digital mixes tend to sound too precise and clinically more and more producers want analog warmth that can’t be easily achieved „in the box“. in respect to high end studios i rather like the dirty records so be aware of that…otherwise you would not be looking at this page, right?! 🙂 . Your project is as unique as your music. Whether you just want to do a mixdown, or if you want to record some of your tracks through outboard or even replace software instruments with classic analog synths: I got some secret (modified) weapons that…read more

Alesis HR-16: custom sound roms

Posted by in equipment, KORN HARDCORE CUSTOMS, mods & repairs, Studio

Replaced the internal sound eproms of the cheesy sounding machine from 1987.

Thanks to Alex Erlewein for burning the eproms and the help! more info here: http://www.burnkit2600.com/hr-16/ http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/hr16.php

Being involved in the development of the Zaquencer Firmware in the final stage, he now added it to his arsenal for creating his unique sound: “I already use mostly hardware synths and sequencers, but the Zaquencer still brings something to the table. It´s as fun and intuitive as an oldschool analog sequencer, but it goes much deeper with possibilities if you want it to.” ZAQ audio: https://zaqaudio.com/testimonial

Arion Stereo Chorus (Landau Mod)

Posted by in equipment, KORN HARDCORE CUSTOMS, mods & repairs, Studio

What a fat chorus that is. Especially for synths. It just needed some little tweaks to shine in the modulation section which was a little too fast and to weak for my taste. -LFO speed mod (1mikro Farad switchable in parallel to C32) -higher vibrato depth (remove R41 and replace with 470k) -chorus / vibrato mod (lift R28 and R34 where they meet. Tie them together and put it to the switches outer isolated lug. This removes the wet signal) -get two of those for real stereo chorus (the second…read more

Modded Roland TR-505

Posted by in equipment, KORN HARDCORE CUSTOMS, mods & repairs, Studio

-volume potis (from mute to normal and overdrive) -glitch mods -pitch oscillator mod I used J2 for ground and IC 10 pin 14 for 4.5 V source for the oscillator. Pitch tesistor is 10k log reverse. cap was below 100nF. The HKA mod is also very interesting, put it already to the TR707 Mods: 350€ + parts (knobs+housing) + postage (No VAT (small business §19 (1) UStG)) > Documentation: TR-505 Pitch Bend Mod www.jacobkorn.de 2014
