Minipops goes slower!

Matt took apart the Minipops and fixed it so it's slower. I now have a workstation in the home studio with a little Mackie desk and various bits, an old tape recorder (one of those industrial ones from a primary school), the Minipops drum machine, the Microkorg, and the gooseneck mic from the Microkorg going straight into the other Mackie channel. I'm going to do some Christmas stories / fables using the set up on Wednesday when I've got a gig at Spoonful of Poison. I think it's Weds, better check that with Vis the Spoon, the gracious host.

I love my new set up. All I want now is a nice Moog pedal (maybe a ring modulator?) to put through the aux sends, so I can put nice processing effects on all the different sounds. Well, that is the spirit of Christmas!

Minipops goes too fast!

I played David Hatton's Hidden Away on Wednesday, my first electronica gig. It was good, and I took out the microkorg. However David suggested I add some more layers to my mix. So, come on the drum machine. This afternoon Matt and I are going to try and work out how to make my vintage Minipops, which runs like the clappers, go a bit slower. Crossed fingers. It's a bit of a technical conundrum I guess.
