TEAM HCiSO | 03 December 2024 | 131.89 MB

While most things these days are made over seas in huge factories with the singular goal of maximizing profits by cutting corners and using the cheapest components, Black Box Analog Design does things differently. In fact we take a different approach to most things. We are not interested in creating clones of old gear or building derivatives of popular gear. We are interested in creating gear that does something that hasn’t been done before, addresses a need we come across in the studio and takes a new approach to a problem or design. We didn’t start out as gear designers. We come from the studio world and years ago, our quest to solve certain problems we came across lead us to begin tinkering with circuits of our own. Since we came from an audio engineering background and not a circuit design background, we weren’t influenced by standard designs or restricted by thoughts of what we “should” do. Instead we allowed our ears to lead us in the right direction. Every part of our all analog circuits is assembled by hand and every component is painstakingly and precisely matched. We use a real, high voltage, linear power supply, custom wound transformers and the best quality components made.

Radical Drum Design With Polyplex

SYNTHiC4TE | 15 December 2014 | 128 MB

Polyplex, with its Twisted Tool’s design, is an unpredictable beat maker that delivers inspirational, unexpected results. Learn how to harness its random, rhythmic energy in this very non-random course! Poly = many, Plex = to strike or beat Polyplex! You get the point! There are so “many” ways to generate “beats” with this new Twisted Tools/Native Instruments collaboration that we called upon master trainer Matt Vanacoro to decipher this radical, Reaktor-base beat machine… and that’s exactly what he does! The trick to dealing with randomness is to learn how to control it. Complete randomness is chaos. Controlled randomness can be artistic and exciting. And that’s exactly what Matt Vanacoro shows you in this course. He shows you how to harness Polyplex’s unpredictable beats and samples, using the built-in controls, to create the perfect (and sometimes surprising) drum tracks for your music. It’s almost like you’re collaborating with Polyplex rather than telling it exactly what you want it to do!
