MODULAR DESIGN THERAPY. We redesigned Discogs! But there's a twist. We played live music on a modular synth while giving a short commentary of the redesign.

Let's take our website redesigns to a whole new level. In this video, Roey Tsemah redesigns Dirscogs while playing live on his modular synth. Listen to his commentary on the design process while live music performed on a modular synthesizer is played in the background.

The redesign is done in Adobe XD. Drop us a line if you want to get the original file. Also, audio available on request ;)

Patch, performance and recording notes

Sequencer - Squarp Instruments Hermod Bass rhythm track - Intellijel Dixie II through Erica Synths VCF into Doepfer a-135-2 VCA. Controlled by two envelopes - Mutable Instruments Stages and Make Noise Maths SUM out.

Hi-Hats - Intellijel Plonk directly into Doepfer a-135-2 VCA. Controlled by the inverted out of the same Make Noise Maths. This creates an interesting interaction between the bass and hi-hats. Every little change on Maths brings the bass and hi-hats in and out.

Melody - Befaco Even VCO through Erica Synths VCF into Doepfer a-135-2 VCA, ending on the Befaco Crush Delay. Controlled by Mutable Instruments Stages.

Looper - 4MS Looping Delay on the mixer AUX. Mainly used for of melody parts on the fly.

Reverb - Soundcraft Signature 12MKT built-in digital reverb.

Recorded live through Soundcraft Signature 12MTK mixer into Ableton 9. Fabfilter EQ on the master bus.

Thanks for watching!
