I posted them on Instagram at the weekend, but now they’re on PalmSounds, and not YouTube I’m afraid. Also, I plan to release to sound files of the Olegtron soon too, probably on SoundCloud I expect, just for simplicity.

Olegtron 4060 with the module on board
It’s nice and easy to fit on the back of the Olegtron itself and works fine. Very straightforward indeed.
Olegtron module ordered!
I posted about the new Olegtron module a little while ago, well now I’m glad to say I’ve got my module ordered thanks to a speedy response to my email from the lovely people at Olegtron. I’m really looking forward to getting it, and you can bet there’ll be pictures once it arrives!
More Ukulele exploration from me
Another piece from me exploring sonic manipulation of my Ukulele through apps.
Old fashioned Cassette Recorder (biscuit tin)
I had one of these years ago. In fact, I had a number of these. But one that was very like this one. I think it was the Ferguson that was almost identical to this. It was excellent. Ok, not excellent, but really good for its time. I used it to record all sorts of things and amassed a huge cassette collection, and have very little of it left.
Even so, now I have a nice tin. I’ve decided to use it for field recording accessories. That seems like an appropriate use for it.
And I got this too
I should mention that I also got this windjammer too. I think that this is a bit of an essential too for real field recording. I feel properly set up now!
More h2n goodies
I also got the accessory kit for the h2n. It really is a bag of goodies, with a hard case, remote, tripod, handle, AC adapter and more. I think it is actually a little bit of a necessity really. Especially the hard case.
Now that’s an excellent Christmas present
I’ve wanted a dedicated field recorder for ages, and this year I got one for Christmas. A lovely Zoom h2n. It is excellent and just the right size. I’ve just started to use it, but I can see a lot more field recording happening soon!
The OP-1 Antenna
I’ve always wanted to try out the FM radio on the OP-1 for sampling, but, until now, I’ve not had the actual antenna to do this. Not so anymore!
This is an awesome Christmas present, a tiny box with delicate tissue paper inside.
And nicely wrapped up inside was the FM antenna. Small, neat, functional. Just what you’d expect from Teenage Engineering.
But the tissue paper itself was a revelation! It is beautifully printed with all the OP-1 accessories. Really nicely done.
And here’s the antenna sitting on the tissue wrap.
And finally in the OP-1 itself.
I’ve only had a brief try with this in the OP-1. Recording some random FM radio and using it as drum samples. It’s pretty good though, so expect a few strange OP-1 drum kits in due course.
Favourite pictures of 2015 … The Olegtron!
I got the Olegtron for Christmas last year and it is a thing of joy, at least it is for me anyway. It’s enormous fun to play and experiment with. I haven’t had enough time to play with it but I hope to again soon. It’s a great device, and I’m glad to have one.
