Andromeda Space Rockers

Post by duckpow » Wed Jan 13, 2010 12:41 am

Just ordered the entire Andromeda Space Rockers Series from Eric Archer :w00t:

And it's not just Mk1, 2 and 4. no... It's also Mk-3 and wooster's Midi-IR :)

Can't wait for it to arrive in Denmark!

Does anyone else than me have such crazy option as electronic analog drums?

No, but I was thinking of building one of those Coron DS7 or DS8 clones. What sucks about it is that you have to build 8 or so for a full drum machine.

Im pretty interested in hearing soundclips, i've been enjoying abletons slice to midi function the last month, i think using sliced beats adds an element of unpredictability since there often are some additional background noise on the sample. Maybe i should lay off venetian snares for a while?

Well i can probably upload some when i get them... and get them assembled ;)

But I've been using Ableton for a couple years now... and the whole idea of getting these is having something analog and not a sample. I've used a lot of samples, effects and soft synth, but never got anywhere near the sound and feel of analog drums.

...I thinking that I've always wanted unlimited 'powers' (soft-synth, samples, effects and so on) But it's when I have the least I make the best music.
These machines is an attempt to limit myself... :wacko: :w00t:

Sounds like a plan. Stripping back to the basics is always a great way to rediscover yourself musically - i.e. getting the best out of what you have instead of fiddling with an endless array of knobs.
Also a great way to lock on to a particular sound and make it "yours".

Anyway, the space rockers look really cool! 8) Keep us posted!

did you only get eric archers models or did you also get the 4ms autonomous bassline generator?

apparently bleep labs is also building a synth for this IR sync line too.

I've got a real bass. And a Mopho synth!
No need for the bassline generator :)

It's cool...but not needed.

Nope. It hasn't arrived yet.
It's a little something extra :) The one to the right is a mini space rocker. Small print that says baounm when the button is pushed :P
And the one to the right is an extra set of cap's for the mk-IV, for extra long bass drums :w00t:

Can't wait to put them together!

So basically a non-pedal version of the EHX Spacedrum? Awesome! :freako:
