This patch is from a series of jams featuring an all ALM groovebox style setup with sequencing from the ASQ-1 & Pam, sounds from Squid, Akemie’s Taiko & Tyso Daiko, and mixing via 2 MEGA-TANGs, Jumble Henge & MFX. A faderbank with 16 offsets is patched around the system for performance and macro controls (making use of the assignable CV inputs of Squid, Pam and MFX).
Big thanks to Ed2d (Edd Butterworth @begg_egg) for the performance and Andrew Duff (@allthesixes666) for the video synth visuals.
Patch notes:
A unique bubbly sound from the Tyso Daiko is triggered using a voltage controlled Euclidean pattern from Pamela’s PRO Workout. One of the faderbank offsets is patched and assigned to control the number of Euclidean trigs, resulting in more or less frequent rhythms as the slider is changed. The pitch of the Daiko is controlled by the un-synced, freely looping Quaid Megaslope.
Both the kick and snare samples include cue sets, which are set later in the jam to ‘step’, jumping through different sounds each time the channels are triggered. The Squid’s built in channel filter is used on the kick drum, creating breaks in the patch as it is lowered. It is controlled by hand using the rightmost faderbank offset slider.

![POWELL - Busy Visits.. EP001
ALM Busy Circuits presents BUSY VISITS.. a brand new video series where we delve into the creative spaces and creative practises of some of our favourite artists.
For the first episode, we visit Powell.
Powell is an artist and musician living and working in London. He is also the founder of Diagonal Records, an imprint created in 2011 that has since grown to incorporate over 60 physical and digital releases, many of them made iconic by Guy Featherstone’s visual direction for the label. He released a volley of deviant dance-oriented music on XL Recordings, as well as a collaboration in 2018 with Turner Prize-winning artist and photographer Wolfgang Tillmans. In 2020 he launched A Folder with visual artist Marte Eknæs and Swiss filmmaker Michael Amstad; AF is a music, film and image platform that can be [mis]understood as a release or work that never ends. In late 2021 he will release Piano Music 1-7 on Editions Mego. VIVA PITA.
