  • Melotus Versio | The Bat Verb | Part 09

    Melotus Versio | The Bat Verb | Part 09

    It took me a while to figure out the Melotus Versio, which was recently introduced by Noise Engineering as a granular texturizer. The name refers to both a badger (animal) and a cactus. It sits somewhere between a grain delay and a texture synth (clouds), but with the unmistakeable touch of Stephen and Kris who…

    The fantasy is always better than the real thing. Or is it? I’ve been waiting for my Pulsar-23 for months and it arrived yesterday.

    Harrington 1200 + Quantermain It’s been great fun to make this video. Harrington 1200 is an app to help you make triads (three-note chords).

    Why Mixing on Headphones is Better

    Reflections A convolution reverb uses recordings of a reflected sound (e.g. a gunshot) in a room or space, thus creating super realistic reverbs.
