Track 2 on my #DAWlessJams1 EP is a reinterpretation of Mr Oizo's Flat Beat.
It features a *double cough* Behringer RD-6 and TD-3 for beats'n'bleeps, Elektron Model:Samples for sampled drums and stab, Korg MS-10 on bass and Sequential Circuits Six-Trak for sound FX.
This is the closest I've done to a (crappy) music video with multicam and enhanced "found" #FlatEric footage.

On track 3 on my #DAWlessJams1 EP I started my journey of incorporating DIY #electronics elements into #MyMusic.
Here I'm showing off my gritty MIDI-syncable digital delay (based off a cheap PT2399 module) by varying the track's tempo.
It works great on my 303-clone, and I've been using it pretty much ever since (although it's currently in Germany).
As always, check out a cheeky trailer below, and the full video with a lot more details on the setup at
And since it's #FaircampFriday, I should probably mention that the whole #DAWlessJams1 EP is available for listen and/or free download at my #Faircamp site at
For anyone interested here's a peek into the innards of the delay unit.
It consists of a cheap common PT2399-based delay PCB off Aliexpress, a few extra pots, an Arduino Uno and a DIY MIDI interface for MIDI tempo sync.
It's time for the video for track 4 on my #DAWlessJams1 EP.
This one was recorded in Germany with a slightly different and more limited setup- just what I could fit into a suitcase, plus my dad's old multitrack as a mixer and a Yamaha RX11 drum machine he got second hand in '89 or so.

Read on for more about the role of the #RaspberryPiPico
Apart from the TD-3/DIY delay combo from my last video I am using a Korg Monotron delay on the RX11's clap and an arpeggiated Moog Werkstatt-01 through a delay/flanger provided by a Korg NTS-1.
As there is no MIDI or sequencer on the Werkstatt I wrote a hacky #MicroPython script to produce a hardcoded, but MIDI-synced arpeggio on CV1 and a user-controllable envelope generator on CV2.
I'll write more about the #Electronics side at some point in the future, but it'll be a while...
Here's the long overdue video for track 5 on my #DAWlessJams1 EP, entitled Werk It (it was my first proper Moog Werkstatt track).
It also features a #Teensy as a serial to USB host MIDI converter, so I could use my JP8000's arpeggiator with the Werkstatt (via an Arturia Beatstep as MIDI to CV converter) and a weird DSP Effects unit from China.
