fisher sck-30

The mods are the five switches in the upper left corner of the SCK-30 (a.k.a. SC-300), and two buttons in the right that create static noise.

All the switches modify only the rythms, they isolate each component of the rythms; bass, snares, and the accents. Two of the switches create a feedback, one of them only affects the bass creating a more artificial sound for it. The other one creates an overall feedback making it sound higher.

Now listen to the tracks caught by the fisherman and fisher tribe and you will be able to notice how is done using the mods and some delay provided by the korg ES-1 .

Soon I'll be posting tracks made with the Casiotone MT35, and a video showing what can be done with the mods on that one.

This is the first experiment with the fisher sc-300 and the korg ES-1, while I was recording it, I didn't realized that the input volume was too high, causing the lack of quality and sudden saturation in the peaks.

I use Audacity to record sound, it's a very familiar interface, what it used to be sound forge, and other sound editors. Ardour also gives you more professional options, I like it, but in the end, audacity hasn't crashed as many times as Ardour has done it on my computer. Good software I just can't use it by now. Besides, audacity comes with a large library of plug-ins, which are very handful.

fisher tribe

I'm using the korg electribe ES-1, and the keyboard of the fisher SC-300 that I modified (I will be posting the pics here soon). This keyboard is a very fun instrument to use, it has a very artificial lo-fi sound which I really enjoy.

The thing about this track is to show what can be done with the mods, individualizing the rythm components in the fisher sc-300 (post will come soon I promise)
