Modbap Per4mer Performance FX [USER REVIEW + Demos] Eurorack


Today I am giving a user review of the Per4mer FX module by Modbap Modular.
The Per4mer is a DJ-Style Quad FX module designed with Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, and Glitch music in mind.
But it also dishes up well for Trap, experiemental, and ambient excursions for sure.
But is Per4mer worth the coin?
Is it the right module for you?
I will be giving some quick thoughts about the build, and dig into some beat and loop mangling.
At the end I give some concluding remarks weighing the pros and cons.
My videos are not sponsored by anyone.
I purchased this product with my own moolah.
So you can expect my own objective opinions and observations.

Behringer RD-6 [USER REVIEW] Analog Drum Machine


Today I am giving a user review of the new Behringer RD-6 Analog Drum Machine.
The RD-6 is an affordable re-issue of the Roland TR-606 all-analog circuitry.
With some updated functionality.
While I have a TR-606, this is not another typical audio comparison video.
Is the RD-6 a good value and sound for the money?
How well does it really work for eurorack modular systems?
Has anything been improved over the original?
How does it compare to other analog drum machines available?
I'll break it all down for you right here, right now.

GSE Now Taking Orders Again Following Extended Power Outages

The GSE Reverb Store is now open!
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA - USA The GSE Reverb Store was closed for orders 2 weeks ago today out an abundance of caution during the onset of a menacing ice storm. Power went out the following day in the area, and it would be a total of 11 days before power would return again. The latest assessment by the local power authority deemed it the most damaging ice event with respect to widespread power outages. According to local news outlets it would take 3000 crews from a total of 18 different states to help get the power restored. As of today many other customers remain without power here. Strong winds continue to hamper efforts to restore power to remaining customers. Thank you for your patience during these trying times. Now GSE is ready to process orders and continue building some awesome Eurorack modules with mojo. Be sure to grab your favorite G-Storm modules while supplies last.
