Chevron is known for his work in many subgenres of electronic music. The two albums on Mike Paradinas’\u00a0Planet Mu<\/em>\u00a0label spanned IDM, breakcore, braindance, chiptune, dubstep, electro, and acid. As part of the current crop of artists spearheading the UK acid revival,\u00a0Chevron has always made\u00a0this genre\u00a0a significant part of his output,\u00a0with releases on 030303, Acid Waxa and Balkan vinyl. Chevron now resides in Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland and is working on two new albums which will be announced soon.

A very forward-thinking machine.“<\/span><\/p>\n How are you using it?<\/span><\/p>\n “Originally, I chose the desktop version to save space in the studio, but as it easily fits in a backpack, I now use it to play live. It’s\u00a0great because when I connect it to my sequencer I can play two sounds at the same time and tweak them independently.”<\/p>\n What\u2019s one of your favorite things about it?<\/span><\/p>\n “With two simple button presses you can pretty much modulate anything with anything. I am also a big fan of the alternate tuning modes. I hope Dave will expand on this again in the future, as I loved to create my own scales on the Prophet-5.”<\/span><\/p>\n What does it give you that other instruments don’t?<\/span><\/p>\n “It is an absolute beast: 12 voices, four oscillators, four LFOs, four envelopes. It’s like having two powerful poly synths in one tiny box. With 100 modulation destinations and now linear FM, the options are nearly limitless.”<\/p>\n Any interesting tricks or techniques you\u2019d like to share?<\/span><\/p>\n “I love messing with those four delay lines. When controlled and synced by random LFOs, you can get some metallic rhythms and really trippy effects! You have to remember to actually make some music because you can get lost in that world for hours!”<\/p>\n LINKS<\/strong><\/p>\n Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Twitter<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n SoundCloud<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n For more information, check out the Prophet 12 product page\u00a0here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\nMORE ABOUT THE\u00a0PROPHET 12<\/strong><\/h3>\n
