Folktek Time Scape Sequencer by Arius Blaze

Youtube description - First, thank you for the support of FOLKTEK and be sure to check our blog where you can keep up with our doings if you feel: folktek.blogspot.com...New work by Arius Blaze. This piece allows for thousands of methods of automated sample fuqwithing. Everything from sample stutters, granulation, modulation and bursts of noise etc. Of course it also doubles as a very sweet dub style echo. The range is insane and could not be captured proper in our short videos. In the videos, for the most part, the patches are set according to what I had been playing with prior. The keys are patchable and each part of the sequence is patchable. Time range is from .005 to about 5.5 sec with a noticably lower quality toward about the 3.5 sec mark. This work is expensive but it is also available. More photos and more info on the blog and the site

Time machine by folktek = video1 arius blaze and ben houston

Youtube description -This is a time machine by folktek - arius blaze and ben houston - see folktek.com and ariusblaze.com = sampling based remix machine...Here we captured a single sample "kill em when they get a certain age" added bits from another track that was randomly playing next on the mp3 player, looped it and played the keys. All of the keys are patched to points on the upper patch bay section. The patch bay is magnetic and requires no plugging, just placing the cable ends on whatever patch point you like. the sound quality is terrible, the video is not great, but until a new professional video comes, this is it. this is one of two videos up now.

Folktek BCM Edition Micro Garden

Youtube description - The Micro Garden is cool little box, equally at home as art or a musical instrument. The BCM edition has super short delay times, tap-tempo, and reverse delay. The front panel is also interesting with the etched circles. The Micro Garden makes sounds we've never heard!
