DivKid | After Later Audio interview // Talking musical history, Eurorack clones & original module designs @DivKid | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Here’s Lenny from After Later Audio who I first met last year as part of DivKid’s West Coast Adventure (links to that below) out in Seattle, Washington USA. After musical beginnings in the Chicago House scene and a separate career that followed it was uniquely a car crash that left Lenny starting to build up drum machines and synth DIY before starting After Later Audio. We talk about Lenny’s musical history, entry into synth DIY, making Eurorack “clones” and moving into original designs and new modules.

![An MS-20 in the WORLDS LONGEST REVERB + Weird Synth Spaces // Poly Effects Verbs [PEDALS & PATCHES]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/R6AOKpBcQr0/hqdefault.jpg "An MS-20 in the WORLDS LONGEST REVERB + Weird Synth Spaces // Poly Effects Verbs [PEDALS & PATCHES]
Ever wanted to hear a Korg MS-20 in the worlds longest reverb? Of course you have, I have and now I have ... and now you can!
With the power of convolution reverbs and good impulse responses I transport some of my synths (Korg MS-20, Roland SH-09, PWM Malevolent and Eurorack Modular) into some unique spaces included a bombproof underground WW2 oil storage facility in Scotland, an abandoned cooling tower in Belgium as well as classic studio gear with the AKG BX20 spring reverb and the ECOPLATE 1980 plate reverb. Tremendous fun and fantastic sounds.
This is all with the brand new Verbs stereo convolution pedal from Poly Effects. It has 8 banks of 8 impulse responses (plus 8 more that can be user replaced) with some fascinating natural and man made spaces along with a collection of studio gear and create, weird and wonderful IRs too. Full features listed below.

PEDALS & PATCHES //
This is also a soft launch/announcement to talk about PEDALS & PATCHES my new video series on using guitar FX pedals within creative studio environments. Ill largely be synths and modular, though other instruments and environments will creep in. This launches in 2024 and will likely be a monthly video series. NOTE // this isnt a break from what I already do, its an addition to it.

KEY NOTES
- Mono OR stereo use only. Use TS cables on in AND out for mono use or use TRS cables on in AND out for stereo use. Theres no mono in (TS) to stereo out (TRS) as the dry will only route to one side.
- The dry input sound goes straight through bypassing any circuitry/DSP on the FX side. This keeps the dry tone pure and unaffected. However this means theres no way to remove the dry sound from the mix. The mix control is a wet amount level, it will not remove the dry sound.
Theres work arounds to both of these things which Ill address in the future video on Verbs. However if youre concerned leave a comment and we can discuss.
VERBS FEATURES
- 8 Banks of 8 IRs plus 8 more IRs which can be user replaced
- Onset control to set a pre delay
- Mix Control for wet level
- Low Cut for pre EQing (removing bass) the sound
- Smoosh - a granular style effect that expands the width and decays.
- TRS in and out
- MIDI control
