"Let's Take a 20 Megaton Surface Burst" - a DB-01 solo

- How many parts can a mono synth play in one pass? Here I think the DB-01 does a good job simulating three or four tracks and yet this is all just one live take, plus vocal samples on top for color. Music-wise there are no edits, no automation, no DAW EQ or any other effects. Everything is exactly as you see it.
The DB-01 runs into the Darkglass B3K, then to the Zen delay, and is then output in stereo to the Boss SL-2 Slicer. You'll notice the DB-01's resonance is at 100% with 50% drive. The Zen delay's input is being overdriven slightly and there is again about 50% drive there as well. Filter is set to highpass.
It's always tempting to start adding extra layers to these pieces, especially drums, but I like the simplicity and "purity" of a DB-01 on its own. Hopefully that also makes it more useful as a demo of the DB-01 and effects.
Quotes and video are from the 1982 documentary "The Atomic Cafe", an excellent movie which is a compilation of old newsreels and military training clips set to music and news commentary of the times.

Hi Somnambule, my thanks for your kind words and visit :)
Zen Delay and DB-01, made for each other.
Agreed. Only improvement would be if the boxes were the same size
Very nice….👍🏽

Ein ganz aggressiver Blast mit tollem Fallout 🙂!
Es ist vom ersten Versuch an sehr mutiert :)
Perfect. I should go to my DB01 now 🤣🤪
Your faithful friend is always waiting.
Brilliant as always, Richard. So, (my usual 'gas' issue)... if you could only keep one: Erica Synths Acidbox or Zen Delay?
Hmmm, tough choice. The Zen delay is versatile - it can be a filter, delay, overdrive or reverbish. OTOH there are hundreds of good stereo delays out there and only a very few stereo filters with modulation. I definitely use the Zen more than the AcidBox... but when you need the Acidbox there's nothing else like it. So I suppose I'd vote for the AcidboxIII.
@@RichardDeHove Thanks! That seals the deal. Looks like I have a future purchase on the horizon. 👍
ohhhh Richard so cool that sound.... ( I think that cool is not the rignt word 😏 ).... I am definitly a big fan .... blessings
Thanks Loran. I think the gritty movement that always happens in the Polivoks filter is at the core.
Every time I use db01 I really really wish they added an option to mute steps without erasing them. It would take the live performance possibilities to another level.
Good idea. The only alternative atm is to gradually delete steps then do a Select+Back to reload the saved version.
