Big Kick from XPO: A Modular Synthesis Journey

It all started with some basic samples, but I couldn’t resist—what began as a simple idea quickly turned into a live performance where, as they say, “the sample completely took on a life of its own.”

The Kick: Organic Construction with the XPO

At the heart of this performance is a monumental kick, crafted entirely from the XPO. Throughout the set, I play with its multiple layers, revealing its depth and richness step by step.

The DIVSKIP handles sequencing with finesse, supported by two envelopes from MATHS, whose sum is routed to the 1V/oct input of the oscillator. The rhythm is built around three distinct sequences, one of which manages the amplitude via the Analog Four by Elektron, perfectly synced with the DIVSKIP. This pairing allows for intricate rhythmic variations and precision, ideal for modular percussion enthusiasts.

Layering Sound: A Synergy Between XPO and QMMG

In this setup, the XPO is used in an unconventional way. Forget its usual immersive stereo output—instead, its left and right channels are utilized for creating a detailed layer, with each passing through the QMMG:
•	One voice processed through Highpass,
•	Another through Lowpass,
•	And two additional voices for subtle distortion.
These four layers are then routed into the DivKid TRACE, which introduces dynamic variations, sculpting the kick through filters and modulations. The result is a kick that feels alive, organic, and endlessly shapeable.

Krell: A Sci-Fi Atmosphere with the 0-Coast

Adding to the mood is a drone inspired by the Krell, created using the 0-Coast. This atmospheric sound is sidechained to make room for the kick, while the Erbe-Verb provides deep, textured reverb. The interplay between the drone’s sonic weight and the kick’s percussive impact creates a compelling dynamic.

Percussions and Stereo Transitions

Smooth transitions between rhythmic sections are crafted with the BRUXA, blending the kick with delicate percussive elements for added fluidity.

For the secondary percussions, the XPO contributes a mono layer that is split into stereo via the QPAS. By using the PLUCK inputs, I generate organic rhythmic variations enriched by the QPAS’s uniquely “woody” tones, adding color and depth to the stereo field.

Elektron: The Master Conductor

The Analog Four handles snares, hi-hats, noise hits, and other percussive elements. Its CV capabilities drive essential parts of the performance, syncing everything with just three outputs. Its internal effects further enhance the overall sonic character of the set.

Conclusion

This patch, built in just a few minutes, is a testament to the power and versatility of modular setups. With Elektron’s distinctive grain and the boundless creativity of Make Noise modules, this performance is pure bliss for modular enthusiasts.

Stefan QandA @ RxSxSTxNCx 040 - Eindhoven 2016 [techno|acid|dark|deep|raw]

Last weekend, Bisturi and i were invited to do 90 minute solo sets. But we decided to do an hour back to back set between our solo sets. Here is the recording of that set!  :D Maximum respect for Chris and your crew for taking such good care of us, the awesome location, good sound and spreading the virus in your area! <3

Bisturi HZD & Stefan ZMK  @ Overloaded - Deka-Dance - Halle Germany 2016 [tekno|hardcore|industrial]

Dutch Rotterdam-based hardcore techno DJ, mastering-engineer, producer and promoter active since 1998.

Exploiting all electronic boundaries, Stefan ZMK travels the world to find beauty in darkness. 
Expect sets without compromise, that will send shivers through any rave die-hard. Stefan ZMK is a true guru in sound and a man of 100% dedication to alternative electronic music. A swift ninja, who always delivers a highly skilled trip to the Core of the Underground.

A notorious DJ, collector and producer since 1998, he has played a major role in the Dutch Free Party scene with his crew: ZMK Soundsystem. Their unique blend of tekno, hardtek, hardcore and breaks instantly spread across Europe, through their vinyl label and various sublabels. From 2010 Stefan ZMK started to release his tracks on various European labels like Obs.Cur, Peur Bleue, Mackitek, Hangar, Hit ’n Run, etc. With tracks like Summoned, Predator and Surrender, he has made a firm mark on the rising Acidtekno and Acidcore scene. Those sought-after records are a fresh combination of acidic, mental and industrial sounds, with the fierce impact of techno and hardcore.
