I just got the Analogue Solutions Phobos Filtered Coffee. It's an all analog filter based on the famous Korg MS-20's filters. The sequence is played by the DSI desktop Evolver with the the filters wide open and no resonance. All the filtering you hear is done by the Filtered Coffee with some slight coloration by the Urei LA-22 compressor. I start with the filter in the "unfiltered" settings, which still sounds pretty warm, some may like it some may not. I like the warmness it gives the sound, but I wouldn't use it on every track. I bet the MPC would sound great through it, now I wish I had a pair of these, which I guess you can sync up just by patching the LFO outs and ins in the back panel (there's over a dozen ins and outs, audio and CV in back).
Then I twiddle knobs starting with the lowpass. I tried to shoot it as clear as I could so anyone watching could see what I'm twisting. I twiddle some more, and then make push everything to sound a lot different than the source. As a bonus, I turn on the Roland RE-201 for more Space Echoey tape delay/spring reverb. There's no digital processing on this recording, what you hear is what I recorded.
I found out about this filter while looking for a good MS-20 filter clone. While I was begging the guys at Big City Music to sell me a frostwave resonator, which hopefully soon will be back in production, I came across this filter. I saw this and a Vermona filter. I wanted a MS-20 clone, and the Filtered coffee was based on it. So...I like coffee, I like MS-20's filters sound, I needed a filter a bit more easily tamed than the T-Resonator. Filtered Coffee it is...
The movie looses sync slowly, I think I have to figure out better settings, better luck next time. It's not too bad tho, it's off no more than a second or two at the end. I think it's a timecode issue I had when editing in the good audio into the video, but I'm too lazy to re-render now.
Enjoy.

Here are some things I did with keyboardist Patrick Moraz in the early 90's. I broke it down into three segments.
I first met Patrick in 1991 when he was performing at a benefit for "Give Kids The World" in Orlando. I was working for a radio station sponsoring the event. Rick Wakeman and Brian Wilson did sets as well.
I didn't post these videos to get into the childish argument over who is a better keyboard player. I just wanted to share a little bit of history and hope some people find it at least mildly entertaining.
This first segment is from 1992. I was "in between jobs" so Patrick invited me out to his house in Rolling Hills, just outside of Los Angeles to help him produce some ideas he was working on. The video camera I had at the time damaged the tape...so there are a few horrible video and audio glitches - and I'm not just referring to when I tried to play.
Patrick is a very unique individual. His creativity is boundless. He exhibits the usual traits of a gifted artist. Manic one minute - depressed the next. He has no concept of what is familiar and what is avant-gard. To him they are one and the same. I am honored to call him a friend. When I came out to LA I brought a tape of some music I had done. I was embarassed to let him hear it...but he insisted, and sat down at his console and listened to the whole thing intently. Musically I know he wasn't impressed...but he did point out some cool sounds I had created and wanted me to show him how I did it. Even though we have lost touch the past few years I credit him with helping me to "open the doors of perception.!"

An exercise with a modular synth Oscillator from Cwejman and then feed the audio out in to the sherman filterbank, you can have a great mono synth there..tr-909 is doing the drum pattern.

SHERMAN FILTERBANK
The FilterBank is an excellent musical processing device for creating filter sweeps and effects or damaging your sound for even cooler effects! It's a 12 or 24dB/octave 4-pole dual filter module with one signal input and two audio outputs. The filters can be dual mono or linked, with crossfading from hi-pass to low-pass filtering with LFO and ADSR modulation. The filter is genuine analog circuitry with serious overdrive for the grungiest of sounds! What's new in the Filterbank 2 are five three-way toggle switches which have been added to the front panel as well as an optional foot controller jack in the back for controlling filter cutoff or bypass switching. The new toggles offer hi-frequency boost/cut for the input, the Sensitrig envelope follower, variable sine or sawtooth LFO shape, and pitch-tracking.
Running a few dance loops through the FilterBank for your next dance hit or live in a DJ set will most certainly get your heart pumping and the creative juices flowing! It's very hands-on like most analog equipment, yet it does not feature memory storage for your favorite settings. The Sherman FilterBank 2 shines when it comes to producing the famous sound of filtered loops and has been used by William Ørbit, Fluke, Fatboy Slim, Stereolab, The Grid, Leftfield, U2, Apollo 440, Latinsizer and The Chemical Brothers.

Latinsizer info:
In this project Pepe Mogt works with a very synthetic and basic set of musical tools to create a quirky approach to electronic music exemplified by "Ritmo 55", the first track released by Latinsizer which appeared on the Nortec Experimental CD. This approach could be described as a combination of the melodic work of early synth Pop classics such as Eno-era Roxy Music and Switched on Bach, modular synth based artists like Tangerine Dream and the grit of urban Tijuana, Latinsizer "live at MUtek.mx CD" has a more noise dance oriented aproach without loosing his analog roots
Latinsizer becomes an alternate project to Nortec, and particularly, to Fussible, recently playing at experimental and dance music festivals like Mutek or Decibel, currently is working on his new album and EP, Celofán is a video of his latest works.
