Producer Dojo shared this video, featuring a video tour of the WMD Devices factory, filmed before it shuts down permanently.
The video features host ill.Gates getting a tour of the factory from WMD’s Alex ‘Nasty Nachos’ Anderson, along with a demonstration of how they manufacturer Eurorack modules.
WMD announced earlier in the year that they will be closing at the end of 2022, because they can’t get the parts they need to make synth modules. This has made it impossible for them manufacture enough modules to cover their overhead.
Video Summary:
“WMD Devices manufactures AMAZING euro rack modules and sadly they are closing down because of the semiconductor shortage and supply chain issues.
While ill.Gates was in Denver for EP Bootcamp he got a chance to tour the facility with @alx-1069 from @WMDevices and learn how eurorack modules are made and manufactured.”
Over the years, many have attempted to recreate Jean-Michel Jarre‘s classic Oxygène 4 using classic and vintage gear. Dittytoy user srtuss is the first that we are aware of to do it using mind-bullets, aka 19KB of Javascript code.
Dittytoy is an online platform that enables you create generative music online, using a simple Javascript API. So don’t expect easy-to-use audio nodes to connect with virtual wires or a graphical user interface that allows you to define patterns easily: everything is generated entirely with code.
srtuss‘s Oxygene 4 arrangement is not only a fairly faithful recreation of the original, but also features a built-in mixer. Find out more and share your thoughts on Javascript remixes in the comments!
