Rubix

 A new series of recordings sees the introduction of a serious piece of kit into the Conny Plankton sonic arsenal: The Roland Rubix 4 by 4 is an audio interface which allows 4 in or 4 out – or 4 mono or two stereo inputs to be recorded direct to Ableton Live and each recorded input edited separately afterwards. These means different synths and hardware effects could be set up to record direct into Ableton. Often synced into different VST synths, this made for an altogether different approach to recording and mixing – especially in that mixers were bypassed altogether and everything recorded and played back through the interface. Of course, the finished mixes are as varied and unpredictable as ever!

The Sons of Plankton

There has been lots of big time editing and general moving around here in the world of Plankton recently: After Recent changes to the Mixcloud site limiting users to only ten shows for free, new Plankton Mixcloud sites have now been developed, with existing shows and mixes now transferred to the capable hands of the Sons of Conny Plankton, So Let me introduce to you:

Donny Plankton

Ronny Plankton

Jonny Plankton

Bonny Plankton

Links to these are also in the sidebar of the blog. All mixes have now been set up so they will still play their original places in this blog, so most people may not notice the difference. It does mean that people can still access all of the Plankton Mixes however!
