Scanner

A sleepy, sloping, slow groove, built up live with the Lorre Mill Double Knot, triggered and played by the Meng Qi Gesture Arcade. This is running through a deep phase algorithm from the Eventide H9. A trigger is coming from the Double Knot to keep the Korg Volca's in time. Something very simple and laid back, merely a sketch, not a finished work by any means. Simply put, FUN :-)

"A maxed out Bucha 200e synth system, featuring a host of delights to entertain, distract and please me and hopefully your ears in future." – Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner), in this Facebook post.

The Buchla 260e is located in the top row, far left, in this picture.

A little studio experiment using Qu-Bit Electronix Chance to control Qu-Bit Electronix Chord, running through a Doepfer A-104 Trautonium Filter, with a melody playing from Mutable Instruments Yarns. Nice and simple but led to something quite elegant, purely by chance.

A little musical exploration in the studio on a gloomy Sunday afternoon, with the Eurorack modular system keeping me happily distracted 🙂

Tech notes if you are curious – Intellijel Metropolis is the engine driving the melodies, with the Verbos Complex Oscillator and Endorophins.es Furthrrr Generator Oscillator creating the melodies. These are filtered through a Cwejman DMF-2 Filter, a Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter, and Schippmann VCF-02. The Furthrrr Generator runs through the 2hp Freez to offer up these tricky little melodic runs. The percussion comes from the TipTop Audio ONE sampler. A Rebel Technology Χρόνος modulates the Verbos timbre. The random radio samples appear live from the Befaker ARRadio, and everything is mixed into the Intellijel Linix and Mutamix. The reverb is in the DAW itself, Ableton Live, a combination of AudioDamage EOS and Soundtoys Echoboy.

Scanner, also known as Robin Rimbaud, is confirmed to use the Mackie Micro-Series 1202 (First Series) mixer, as evidenced in the video titled "Scanner Live at FoxFest 2022" by Robin Rimbaud-Scanner on YouTube.
