Adapta – MKS-50 Tracks [FR034]
The in 1986 produced MKS-50 synth is a rack-mount version of Roland Corporation’s Alpha Juno. It has the same synth engine and architecture, but with added features like 16 programmable chord memories, the ability to store velocity, volume, panning, de-tune, portamento and other similar parameters within each patch you create. The optional PG-300 gives traditional slider type control of all editable tone parameters which include DCO (digitally controlled oscillators) LFO, bend, ENV, pulse, waveforms, noise, PW/PWM, high pass filter, VCF (filter) with freq/env/res/LFO/kybd, VCA envelope, chorus, and more. Adapta delivers a project based on this legendary MKS-50 synth. Tracks created with technology from the past, aimed for the future.
Adapta – Adapta EP 1 [BRUTALSUN001]
Steve Conner unfurls a new project in the shape of Adapta, with this classy quartet of gritty machine funk for the newly minted Brutalist Sunset imprint. The Adapta project is the result of Conner’s live recording in a studio based around a redesigned Memorymoog synth bulked up with Roland and Elektron hardware. “Concrete Sun” in particular is an abrasive delight, with jagged textures scraping across a backdrop of scattergun binary melodies and swampy bass. “Duerden Sound” even sees him indulge in doom laden steppish dub techno, on an extended studio flex with particularly bleak thoughts running through their heads.
