the sampling on the kp3 is great when its midi sync'd as well.  great for layering and looping

nice video!!

You'd be right in saying that soundcards with only 1/8" outputs are generally "bells and whistles" cards, but there's nothing intrinsically wrong or bad sounding about 1/8". I'd happily use it for pro work (but only if I had to, 1/4" being the standard) and have done in the past.

noise level for any PC's built in sound card is going to pretty high compared with a decent audio interface.  nothing wrong with 1/8 in and of itself.  hell my modular is all mono 1/8 jacks..

you'd be wasting your money if you didn't first upgrade you audio interface.  1/8 in is crap pure and simple.

but a decent sound interface with at least 4 inputs so you can record 2 stereo channels.
record directly in the box.  eq in the box.

buy a cheap little mixer for playing live

silent way or volta + DC coupled sound interface + eurorack

the eurorack would get expensive quickly though.  and you'd miss out on a lot of the great stuff that a modular is capable of.

for each voice you'd need something like
1 voltage controlled oscillator, 1 multi mode filter, 1 voltage controlled amplifier
VCO would run you around 200-250.  filter would depend on exactly what filter you wanted 250 for a bubblesound sem20, for VCA you are looking at around 130 dollars.  then figure in a case and power supply. 

you could do envelopes and modulation from silent way so you wouldn't need to spring for those.

Tacoma Noise Rodeo exists because there is no outlet for in Tacoma for who make music that tends towards the drone and noise. The idea behind the noise rodeo is to locate this venue. Esoteric electronic music has always had a hard time finding a place and a time.

That place is Caffe Dei. The time is Saturday Sept 17th 8pm.
...The price? Free.



Full On
Full On has been responsible for deafening ears and expanding horizons since 1999. From ethereal ambient eloquence to harsh noise and beaty chunks of goodness in between, Full On pulls segments from the Chaos to heal the masses. All that's required is an open heart, open mind, and open ears.

Firedrill
Firedrill has been making his own wacky style of chipmusic in the Northwest for the past 5 years. Shifting through various styles of chiptune, he remains unphased and unjaded. He will be entering the Tacoma Noise Rodeo armed with a Commodore 64 and a fistful of bananas.

Bagger288
Bagger288 makes noise and drones, with special focus on space (outer), harmonic textures and relationships. At the noise rodeo he will be droning on fretless (buddha) guitar.

Infradead
Infradead sings songs for the silenced 56k modems in the world. His plan for noise rodeo involves a modular synthesizer and plenty of patch cables he creates conduits for the control voltage to flow.

Indeed, Berklee's recent newsletter had a part-time VGM artist in it, but I should also add that, at least at the time, when I'd turn in projects done on my personal gear (which was mostly FM) students and faculty thought of the sound as quirky and cheesy, though I think there is a lot to be said about "if I knew then what I know now." I also feel compelled to add that I was not a Synths major, because the lab fees were way expensive and I didn't think they could teach me anything that I couldn't learn on my own, and when it comes to synthesis, I maintain this opinion.

thats kind of a foolish statement.  a lot of music programs have some old modular synths laying around that will tech you so much in a hands on way compared to a computer.  especially the schools that have held onto their buchla and EMS stuff
