Can It Acid? | Basimilus Harmonic Sequencing | with LIL TECHNOBOX

#acidtechno #modularsynth #modulartechno
Who doesn’t love a good wonky 303 (or TD-3) acid sequence with that squealing resonant filter and yellow smileys as far as you can see?
Yeah let’s try something else. Imagine you are trying to make something a little less melodic, a little less on-the-nose. Imagine you want to run a pitch sequence not to your oscillator but to your filter. Let’s say even that you don’t want to use a typical Saw/Square 303-style oscillator and reach for the… Basimilus Iteritas Alter? Yes the “drum synth”.
Well it's almost the end of the month, and we're wrapping up this 4-part LIL TECHNOBOX miniseries. Man it's been fun. Working "in the box" this month was a worthwile challenge in creating focus and ideas on the fly, with little distractions. And I think we hit a few moments in there...
Next week we'll be switching gears. Not sure yet what it'll be, but I'll be in a new city with some new technical challenges. Looking forward to more experiments in the weeks to come!

Love your work for the tiny house community :). Still, it sounds like a big case.

[@Bilijie]

Tiny house! Love this description, it’s quite fitting. Thanks for the work you do as well!

[@Toughinger]

[@acfpv]

Wake up babe, another bilijie banger just dropped.

[@thisfred]

We'll miss you, lil' techno box! What an amazingly inspiring set of jams!

[@Bilijie]

Appreciate u!

[@fabricelagrue]

WOW

[@markbooth]

Nice playable controls in this little setup. Well done.

[@Bilijie]

Cheers Mark!

[@TheDJT003]

Hi man ,I love your box great setup

[@ryanhume216]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Bilijie]

The man himself! Folks don’t sleep on Constellation 👀

[@The_Invisible_Hand_Of_CV]

This is speaking my language. Constellation is 25% of your rig. That means you really do be modulating. Nice! This is some tasty ACID. I approve, lol. Shame the Teensy3.2 is no more. That loss took out Radio Music, Chord Organ, Prok Drums and more. Did you know you can flash Radio Music and Chord Organ onto Prok Drum? I love that! Did anyone other than Thonk offer those Prok Drums?

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Rad, I have a T-networks and a BIA hanging out side by side in my percussion rack. Good stuff. T-networks is slept on.

[@Bilijie]

So underrated

[@maerisrael]

big kick energy from such a lil box. loved these videos.

[@Bilijie]

Thanks so much 🙏🏽

[@SebastianBlix]

Dammit every time. Every time I find something I really like, something I feel stands out, something that goes beyond expectations, it gets discontinued. Gonna miss you Lil Techno Box. 😢

[@Bilijie]

Most relatable comment!

[@GodsofRuin]

Nice man!

[@Bilijie]

Thanks!!

[@yeahright73]

Awesome. I recently ordered an Alia, but already starting to wonder if I might want more than one. Being on a budget, would I be doing myself a disservice in your opinion if I hunted down a used Basimilus Iteritas or BIA?

[@Bilijie]

I’ll be keeping both, as I can always find use for a BIA. You can prob wait for a while as I think the used prices will come down even a bit more as more folks adopt the Alia platform.

[@The_Invisible_Hand_Of_CV]

BIA is a legend for good reason. No way you are going to get a BIA and feel like it is lacking. No way, it's absolutely incredible.

[@spenzasequenza]

Yé! …but what do you mean "final jam"!??

[@Bilijie]

Well I don’t have Lil TB with me right now so… jams will continue but with a different setup I specifically designed for my “residency”. Stay tuned!

[@chrisleeramsden2077]

Brilliant as ever! Gonna miss the LIL TECHNOBOX 🥲 Good luck with the new residency 🤘

[@Bilijie]

Thank you! More to come as I’m already set up 💊
