January 2019 Book Update - it's quite big...

Hi!

Here's the latest update to Loopop's In-Complete but-growing-quite-a-bit-thanks-to-you Book of Electronic Music Ideas, Tips and Tricks...

Here's what's new:

1. I take requests! Patron Stefan W. asked that I expand on the topic of AC and DC coupled interfaces, so in this new section I dive deeper into what you need to know to create a hybrid modular setup.

2. I love applying sequenced modulations to a bass or pad's level (or filter) to create a rhythmic sequence - this technique was used in the intro and outro to my recent Octatrack video. In a new Custom/Sequenced Mod Source section, I look at a few hardware and software tools that can help make this happen, and a technique you can use if you don't have a custom envelope-drawing tool laying around.

3. "Slew", "Math", "Function" and "Integrator" are scary terms for what is one of the most powerful synthesis tools. In a new section - "The Rise and Fall of Slew" I try to explain in the simplest terms possible what slew/function generators do, and how they can be put to practical musical use.

4. I opened up a new section dedicated to Feedback Tricks - something tells me this will grow over time as well. Let me know, I'd love your ... feedback.... on this...

So that's it for the January update! I'm off to NAMM. My goal isn't to make as many videos as possible, nor to repeat the marketing messages of vendors... but if I see or hear something interesting, or can dive deep into something, I'll have my camera with me ready to share with you. If there's something you'd like me to check out, let me know.

Got any topics you'd like me to cover for the next book update or video? Let me know!

All my best,

Ziv
