Woody Piano Shack vs Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II: Beat-Making in the Rave Bunker

Woody Piano Shack grabs the Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II and dives headfirst into its chaotic world of beat-making, sampling, and scene-juggling. This isn’t your typical glossy demo – Woody’s approach is hands-on, honest, and a bit messy, just the way we like it. Expect plenty of workflow quirks, happy accidents, and a sampler that sometimes fights back. If you’re after a polished product walkthrough, look elsewhere. But if you want to see a real musician wrangle this plastic beast into something musical, you’re in for a treat. Spoiler: it’s not always pretty, but it’s never boring.

Intellijel Cascadia: Effects Pedal Integration for Modular Minds

Intellijel’s Cascadia isn’t just another semi-modular synth—it’s a patch playground with a dedicated effects section that welcomes your favourite pedals and processors into the fold. In this official walkthrough, Intellijel demonstrates how Cascadia’s FX section is purpose-built for seamless pedal integration, complete with proper jacks, level controls, and expression CV. The video takes us through practical patching, balancing wet and dry signals, and even modulating pedal parameters with CV—all with a clear, modular-centric approach. For anyone who’s ever wondered how to bring their pedalboard into the Eurorack world without a tangle of adapters, this is a must-watch.
