Novation Drum+Bass Station (rack)
(JAS_review002)

The Novation Bass Station was tracked through Joe Meek ThreeQ and Novation Drumstation tracked through RNC1773, recorded using TC konnekt8 and edited in Cubase.

These two machines are awesome! Why? Price, use and sound. Its fairly cheap, you get additional connections for your vintage equipment and if you just tweak it a bit differently
But then again I must admit that the dry sound didnt fall into my taste, so I added some external effects. Furtermore I added some pad sounds.

Part 1 - Cubase edit
Pad sound Dominator (PAD-Sculptoris-RJ)
Novation Drumstation Standard Reverb A from Cubase almost no wet sound. Some compression.
Novation Bass Station Stereo Delay (BPM sync), Reverb A (Default) and some compression.

Part 2 Cubase edit
Pad sound Dominator (KEY-ProSoloist-RJ)
Novation Drumstation Standard Reverb A from Cubase, dirty distortion. Some compression.
Novation Bass Station Stereo Delay (BPM sync), Reverb A (Default) and some compression.

Notice that all effectsn sounds are more or less templates/defaults. Thats on purpose you need little knowledge to add some kind of thickness to the sound.
Live clicks and sounds do occur occasionally the sound from the camera is present some times.

MFB-Synth Lite
(JAS_review001)

A review video from justastudio.
The MFB-Synth Lite was tracked through Joe Meek ThreeQ, recorded using TC konnekt8 and edited in Cubase (a bit distorted peak on purpose).

Three beats were added:

1. Housy beat with a bit of distortion
2. Lo-fi beat with 1/1 stereo chop
3. Filter beat using Kjaerhus auto filter

Some minor EQ and compression were added to the MFB-Synth Lite in the mixing process.

Please keep in mind that this track was entirely done for showing some of the possibilities of the MFB-Synth Lite.
