Scratching on the SC500
Jamming with the SC500 from Portablism Gear 👾
I got this amazing little machine to do live scratching with Space Bros (intergalactic boombap group featuring me and Bain from Grey Tapes on beats and raps from the incredible John Dole). This beat is one that Bain made for the project - you can hear the full vocal version on the latest Northern Tape release (available on cassette and download on their bandcamp - show them some love 💕)

PolyMonolyth and Guitar - 'Kingsfold' (trad)
zhlédnutí 174Před rokem
Using PolyMonolyth as an accompanying instrument. Many thanks to Ben Fitzgerald (AKA Memphis Gerald) for joining me for a day of experimentation and recording. We did several sessions in different tunings - most were fully improvised but this is an edited performance of traditional hymn 'Kingsfold'. PolyMonolyth is an instrument I made which uses electromagnetic transducers to resonate 6 string...

    How did you set it up to play the sample when you release? Pressing play on mine just makes it play through the sample and the jogwheel doesnt stop it

    • @kalimbomusic
      @kalimbomusic Před 7 měsíci

      It is basically set up the way it came, I didn't have to change anything to make it work like that. The jog wheel is touch sensitive, so any time you are touching it the sample should be reacting to the movement of the jog wheel (so if you spin it without keeping contact it may seem like it's not working?). It could be something in the settings or a loose connection but either way I would contact the maker if I was you 🤞

      The fader cuts the samples out on both sides, so you can use it either way. There's also a setting in the txt file if you want to make one side cut the beats in and out but usually they just keep playing whatever the fader is doing 👍

      Hi, there are quite a few ways to do it! I have the audio outputs of both going into separate inputs on a mixer/interface (mine is Allen and heath zedi 10 but you can use any with 2 or more inputs). That's going into Ableton to record them on to an audio track each. I also have a minijack cable going from the synth's sync output to the sync input of the PO, and the synth is being controlled from Ableton through a micro usb
