Shinbones Man - Beatbrains (with video)

By Gavin Davies

Can I use the Behringer Brains and the Analogue Solutions Oberkorn as a drum machine? Well, just about!

The voltage controlled “model” selection is a bit haphazard, it’s got “brains” of its own I reckon… But you can set a model via CV, allowing you to pick snare, hat, FM, tom and bass (albeit a tad unreliably).

The unpredictability is fun though, sometimes a bar comes through that sounds pretty good!

I throw a heap of modulation on. The little knobs, by default, map the envelope/low pass gate to their controller if nothing’s plugged in.

A great module! The first take was better but my computer disconnected from my mixer and the recording stopped… Story of my life eh!
