First quick demo of a pattern I put together, 11 drum sounds, this thing can produce 12 including all 'ALT' samples
Some modulation step and realtime recorded into the pattern.

Kinda Jungle feel to this, just experimenting individual with pattern lengths.

Second try with some LFOs and Flam, manual pattern length change.

Melt You

Here is a track once again featuring only the MacBeth Micromac-R as the synthesizer- it’s again 4 stereo tracks recorded onto my Fostex FD-8 multitracker…the keyboard/sequencer is the Ensoniq ASR-10 that I have and the reverb/echo effects come from an econimical and ancient ART LTX processor. I also use a Roland EF-303 for vocoder like effects! Hope ya enjoy!

Micromac-ahh!

Some bass sounds from the Micromac-R eurorack module. 

MacBeth Micromac-R bass noodles

Here I take the Micromac through the paces, focusing more on the ambient/surreal side of the synthesizer, but there's percussion, bass, leads, FM madness and fx, etc.- something for everyone to enjoy. Everything is 100% Micromac... played by hand or self-generated, sorry for sloppiness at times. I've added reverb, delay, and compression to taste, and I've layered takes in some places; I wanted to provide musical context rather than some alienated melody line. This is by far the most amazing synthesizer I've ever played and I hope this demo reflects a fraction of my awe. Ken Macbeth has created a brilliant product! Hope you enjoy this demo. 

Lovebot's First Micromac Demo

I present the third epically long demo of the Macbeth Micromac; this one explores the intergalactic tones of the Micromac using a variety of control techniques:

-Programmed midi in Ableton Live software
-Played live by hand, either with a traditional midi keyboard or a variety of alternative controllers on the iPad, including the Moog Animoog touch plate controller and the Musix isomorphic keyboard
-Self-triggered (by the third oscillator or by other modules into the gate in)
-Controlled by arpeggiators in Ableton Live or Poly Arp running on the iPad

Other equipment used in this demo:
-Manhattan Analogue MA35 VCF/VCA (for occasional 12db filter processing, stereo processing with Micromac VCF/A panned left and MA35 VCF/A panned right)
-Make Noise Maths (for modulation, rhythm)
-Analog Systems RS-380 Modulation Controller (for noise, S/H, random modulation, VCLFO)
-Pittsburgh Modular Mixer (mixing oscillators, routing)
-Pittsburgh Modular ADSR (controlling MA-35 VCF/A)
-Pittsburgh Modular MIDI2 (controlled by Ableton Live or iPad running Animoog, Poly Arp, Musix isomorphic controller)
-Behringher Vintage Delay (BBD Delay pedal)
TEAC Reel to Reel (mic pre overloaded for saturation/distortion)
Biyang Analog Chorus
-Additional processing (reverb, ping pong delay from Ableton Live)
