A hardware noise excursion: Triceratops
“We all have a dinosaur within us trying to get out.” - Colin Mochrie
Jam #2 with the Rumble Of Ancient Times / Wingie II combo, this time with the ROAT clocked from a PO33 KO Pocket Operator. Since it is a sampler and all, seemed rude not to use it for its primary purpose, so it also provides the simple Motorik bass and drum backbone here. Recorded live into AUM. Just for @espiegel123 apropos our conversation elsewhere, it concludes with a post AUM transport-stop demonstration of after-recording artefacts captured into AudioShare.

Triceratops one of my favourites as a Kid. Brontosaurus was my number one.
T Rex is the glamour choice, of course. Always had time for the stegosaurus myself. And the pterodactyl.
Loved the Spinosaurus, Stegasaurus, Pterodactyl and Triceratops.
Some cool sounds here and a nice groove! What is the trick to get AUM to record, say, reverb tails, after the transport is stopped while recording?
Spinosaurus is a new one on me. Gonna have to check it out. Hold please…
…Okay. Interesting. I’m of the vintage where it was believed that all dinosaurs were green and scaly. Spiny seems to come from the newfangled “actually they’re gonna be birds one day” end of the spectrum.
No trick, really. I just set a master bus with IAA out as its output in AUM, then set up to record this in to AudioShare. This means that when I stop the transport in AUM, the reverb tails and any other audio artefacts which keep sounding out until I stop the recording in AudioShare.
Ankylosaurus for me!
Who doesn’t love dinosaurs?
Great track!
Loving the groove and the dino roars!
OK - I have never used Audioshare for recording from AUM, will have to look into that, didn’t even know it was possible! So you just press record in Audioshare, then start the transport in AUM, then stop the transport, then stop your audioshare recording? Audioshare will just record whatever sound your ipad is making at any given time without any need to tell it what to record? Am I guessing right here?
No, after taking a look I see that is not right. Thing is, when AUM and Audioshare are open, and I try to send AUM out to IAA 1, I just get a message that it is not connected, but I don’t see how to set it up right in Audioshare. Have only ever used Audioshare for file playing / storage, basically.
Can’t see how to choose AUM as a source in Audioshare, it doesn’t appear in the list. Are you running it through Audiobus or something?
No. You select the record icon, then click in the + slot next to the microphone icon. This gives you a drop down of all the apps n your iPad. Scroll down to Kymactica, and select IAA one. Start record, bop back to AUM, hit start. Record, stop, let the trails sound out, bop back to AudioShare, hit stop, use the trim tools to top and tail the silence. You can do this with multiple channels if you want the full mixable stem experience in a DAW, but stereo final mix in AudioShare works for me. It is a very fast workflow.
Ah, see I was looking for ‘AUM’ in the list and of course it wasn’t there. Wow, Audioshare list here could certainly do with a search function @j_liljedahl!
Anyway, very useful Irena, thanks!
+1 for the search function. Maybe even favourites or a template. Would save a lot of scrolling!
Took the niece and nephew to ‘Dinosaurs in the Park’ at weekend. They should have has this playing over the tannoy rather than some pop rubbish. Might have frightened them more 🦖
This is surprisingly jolly, given the description! Probably the motorik backing. And you’ve reactivated my GAS for a RoAT, which had abated somewhat. Drat… 🪪👀
I was always a fan of the prehistoric giant ground sloth.

@bygjohn : I’m biased, obviously, but both the ROAT and Wingie II offer a great bang for buck ratio for not too much money, all things considered, and, more to the point, offer noises and ways to mess with them that I can’t easily replicate any other way than this very particular hardware. Drum machines, synths, fx, I can do all those as as apps. The hands on aspect of the Wingie resonator, and the sheer barking mad chaos of the Chaos button on the ROAT, not so much. I’d include the PO33, a mini sampler used here on bass and drums (and clock) in that description too.
@NeuM : as a retiree, I can readily relate to anything with the word ‘sloth’ in it…
I entirely agree. I’m just trying to exercise a little self restraint, bearing in mind at some point I’m probably going to end up with a Eurorack case and some modules down the line.
I suspect, though, that a Wingie II may well be ordered fairly soon, as it would pair very well with my other gear, whereas the RoAT seems more of a standalone proposition.
I could easily bankrupt myself with the range of interesting stuff currently available. I think it was Benn Jordan that said in a video I saw a few months back, that we’re in a golden age of electronic instruments at the moment.
FWIW in terms of bang for buck on the module front, I find the Morphagene offers something unique I really couldn’t replicate any other way. YMMV.
Morphagene is on my prospective list for that very reason. And may well be first in, though the ES-9 might just beat it. I’m currently holding off till I’ve worked my way through Sarah Belle Reid’s LSS course so I have a better idea of where I’m going with all this, but it’s becoming harder to resist as the days go by.
It’s when you realise you are starting to view modules like iPad apps you realise you (and your purse) have a problem…
