how can u tune the kick without a pc editor? Sounds very nice btw, i will maybe build one set myself. Reminds me of my LXR, but a different flavour...like that sound

Prok drums are compact, expressive, morphing percussion modules in the Eurorack format. Synthesis! This is not a sample player.
They are available to buy here - www.thonk.co.uk/prok/

These demos are all untreated recordings direct from the modules. No external FX, processing, reverb, distortion or filtering has been added. This is what the modules sound like out of the box with trigger sequencing and external CV modulation. All drums are synthesised digitally, there are no samples!

There are four unique DSP drum models in total, Bassdrum, Snare, Hi-Hat and Clap. They have a 12-bit Lo-Fi crunch with virtual analog patch morphing. There is a software editor coming in 2019 which connects to the module via USB and lets you edit and create new patches live. Beta testing starts in January.

Bucky Skank is my hobby. I've loved Jamaican and Jamaican inspired / influenced music for nearly my whole musical life. I don't consider myself an expert in any way but over the years I have amassed quite a lot of this music and it is one of a very few forms of music I can listen to all day without getting bored.

I have played about a half dozen full sets of this music and it has been like learning how to dj all over again. All those sets had a slightly shambolic edge to them as I found my feet but have been wonderful, if nerve wracking fun as I scrambled in the dark to find the right 7" to play next. It's definitely not something I'd like to do all the time but doing it one or two times a year is a true joy, so a big thanks to those who have come along and danced. 

There is also the Bucky Skank label, again very much a hobby which releases a couple of 12"s each year (the first one now sold out, the second one due shortly).

Anyway, here's a two hour mix featuring some of what I played at this year's Bucky Skank in Glasgow. Half of it was recorded on the night and half after the fact, at home. Hopefully the joins aren't too noticeable. A tiny handful of the tracks were on the mix I put up a couple of years ago (The Upsetters' "Bucky Skank" will of course appear in every Bucky Skank set I do and bookends this mix albeit in different versions). if you are looking for totally obscure, ultra rare Jamaican music, this is probably not for you but if you want to hear some of the myriad sounds that have come out of that small island or that it has inspired, hopefully it will be enjoyable; plenty of hits and lots of personal favourites from across 50 years (1964 - 2014), ranging from Barrington Levy, Bim Sherman, Prince Far I and Tenor Saw to Kahn, Cutty Ranks and Lady Saw.

The mix is "augmented" with my dub siren, some space echo and Maschine being used to trigger some additional sounds and samples.

The mix is a little over two hours long, is a downloadable 256kbps mp3 and is 230mb.

Exploring the resonant side of the Serge Resonant EQ (R*S edition for Eurorack, layering 2 live recordings, each basically using nothing but the EQ:
- Perc track was made by running a pulse from a DUSG into Input 1 and each 4th of those pulses (using a Pulse Divider) into Input 2 and playing with the 10 bands and the Feedback knob / Phase switch
- Drone track uses the normal (triangle) out for Input 1 and the Gate out from the same DUSG (running in Cycle mode as an oscillator) - again only playing with the bands and feedback.

Listen on good speakers at high volume :-)

Some raw waveforms run through the amazing Wave Multipliers (VCM)- licensed Eurorack version by Random*Source - exploring all 3 sections (individually, i.e. only one section used at a time).

We created another novel type of oscillator modulation for Kyma.

MultiCycleTimeIndexModulation - oh and it morphs too, therefore the long compound name of this audio example (which is 4 voices )

Its also, very efficient, you could easily run 10 voices at 192K on a Paca.  Many more at 44.1

As with the BD and SN test. Preset banks, X & Y controls fully CCW.
Rotating X control CW, then the Y control. Then the X control CCW and then the Y control CCW. Change banks and repeat. 
First the HH then the CP.
Once I've gone through the 4 HH banks I add a gate to the X input for a closed/open HH.
