  • brainstorming:
    sodapop
    lemon punch
    royal Fizz
    Dr. Goo
    micropop



  • edited March 2013
    Like the micropop! but maybe sounds a bit lightweight - need something a bit heavier/edgier maybe? tho that is very difficult to do without sounding like you are trying too hard to be cool - hmmm...

    Using the Dr from above - SP Glitch Doktor ?

    On a lab tip - Sonic Potions Rhythm Workbench / Drumsound Test Rig ?  Sonic Potions' Test Tube Baby? Beatsperiment ha ha weak, sorry

    Sci-fi tip - Feersumm Endjinn ? with apologies to Iain Banks... SP Engine Room / Loopmotor 
    or  CyberDrum - likewise to William Gibson

    NovaDrum ...   Phase Gate ...  Launch Base ... Warp Drum ...

    Sonic Potions' Different Drummer ...

    Or medical/alchemical again...  Sonic Potions' Philosopher's Stone... Aqua Regis/Aqua Vitae, Chumaiea

    Pandora's Box ...

    maybe my best offering for now:

    The Antidote

    Antidote Picture


















    anyway wasn't I working... oops

    jk
     
  • Big Bang

     

  • Have we had

    Warlock
    Drumwizard
    Talisman

    ?

    a|x
  • Heartbeat

     

  • Sonic Potions Aqua
  • Sonic Potions TroubleDrum 

    (hubble bubble - tho BubbleDrum better but think I said that one already)

    Sonic Potions Chemical Beatbox

    ... still enjoying the hunt, it's certainly keeping the cogs turning.  Like the last clue on a crossword innit :)

  • Something related to cocktails, and that fits well the world of drums and rythm :
    shaker

    a play on word about recipients :
    beater / beaker

    otherwise, one cocktail name that may evoke the world of rythm :
    sambuka
  • @MicMicMan 'sambuka' is too suggestive of cheap nylon shirts, I think...

    a|x
  • Hope this search for a name isn't going to hold up the entire release schedule.

  • I think Bendyjohn deserves some props for contributing to roughly 90% of the suggestions here !

    I actually like "the antidote"

    naaaa - development isn'T influenced by the naming process ;)
    i just hope we have a name before the synth is finished ;)
  • Barista

    from wikipedia:
    The word barista is of Italian origin, and in Italian, a barista is a male or female "bartender", who typically works behind a counter, serving both hot drinks (such as espresso), and cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, not a coffee-maker specifically.

    yeah! really devoted to find a name! :D

    Unfortunately, Holy Grail is already taken by a famous EHX pedal :/

  • I like Jagermeister Beatmeister :)

    Also for a Drum Machine, something related to DNA_sequencing would be cool.

    Genome maybe ?
  • Genome is the name of a sequencer...
  • edited March 2013
    Or simply DNA (Drums and Ammunition)
  • edited March 2013
    hmm yeah forgot about that pedal despite drooling over one in a shop window!  (the "flerb"  setting sounds cool)

    yep liking the DNA idea, shame someone nabbed Genome, sure there's more mileage in that area tho.... 
     
    SP GeneSeq / GeneDefekt (a la green velvet) / Codon /  Extremophile (bug that loves extreme conditions) / Thermophilus / Dominant Helix / Expression Vector /

    or Nucleobase - bits of DNA

    Plasmid - vector of transmission of resistance between bacteria

    Frameshifter (gamechanger!) .. Paradigm Shift

    Barista makes me think of grinding beans - Beat Grinder / Organ Grinder / Tone Grinder ...  also like shiftr's suggestion The Mortar - mixing & blending ... hmm better stop before i fill the page (again)
    jk

  • Barista is good... Or Kettle, or Samovar...
  • Merlin Machine

    Ok going the wordplay route now:

    Sonic Potions APOTEK

    (Was thinking of a barista for potions! & techno never far from my mind...)
  • Peyote was widely used among the Beat Generation authors...
  • as you obivously may noticed, Julian, i love comics, superheros and all that kind of stuff. so, ok here is another one. what about...

    1. Ging-Gong-Drum: Could have sort of a King-Kong logo laser engraving on it. Thinking of King-Kong playing on this huge chinese drums. Inspired by the movie - The Drummer by Kenneth Bi -

    nice one dubtoms -  SP Peyote Buttons !

    even the Sonic Potions Hallucinogen drum machine, sure you could squeeze some psychedelic beats out of that  :)
