Getting ready for super booth 2026!!

Are you going? Let me know, I'd love to meet up :)

Allert Aalders talks about his work as a sound designer for companies such as Fabfilter, Native Instruments, Kilohearts, Arturia and Korg.

His entire journey is mesmerizing to say the least. Watch the full interview on YouTube where he dives deep into his origin story, gear, modulation, Dutch Modular Fest, Sonar Traffic, and some helpful advice for beginners.

I hope no one ever looks behind my desk 🫣

No processing, just the raw melancholic vibe of a Minilogue.

I've started a challenge in my Skool community to create a patch with only 3 modules, containing a delay and including feedback.

If you'd like to join the free community comment SYNTH and I'll send you a link.

If you're into modular synthesis, hardware or dawless production, live setups, or anything else related to hardware, hop on in and let's grow together.

A recreation of my latest Eurorack Patch in VCV Rack.

Plaits is the main driver of this patch. I'm sequencing the Model input with a step sequencer.

I'm using a crossfader to blend between Plait's main and aux outputs.

The turing machine randomly resets the sequence to create glitchy rhythms.

A parallel delay with high feedback + spring reverb adds character.

Finally clouds is rhythmically triggering grains in freeze mode for some stereo width.
