Roland TR-909 & Elektron A4 techno

Published on Feb 24, 2013 dylannau·19 videos

"TR-909 through the Kaoss pad into the Elektron A4. Kick drum is ran seperate into A4 . Tr. 1 is the 909, Tr4 is the kick on the 909. Tr 2, 3 are A4 synth sounds. Old school kinda acid style track, nothing too awesome IMHO but had to get something with the new 909 I got. Trying to change things up with the performance knobs which are really cool, but take some time to set up. Thinking hard about NOT keeping the 909. It's cool and all, but kind of more a museum piece maybe?"

four tape recorder techniques for minimal techno: looping, delay, reverse delay and saturation


Published on Feb 25, 2013 wouter van Veldhoven·11 videos

"four tape recorder techniques for minimal techno:
1) a tape loop system (1 recorder, top right)
2) long delay (2 recorders: top left and middle right)
3) reverse delay (bottom middle)
4) tape feedback/tape saturation on system 1, 2 and 3

The tascam 8 track is not doing anything here.. except being a rather expensive table for two other recorders,

btw. the video in the second part doesn't really match the music, the camera fell so I couldn't use the original.. I wasn't doing all that much except for letting the long tape delay saturate on itself for a very very long time..."

For your consideration we have an original Oberheim Xpander desktop synthesizer in perfect working condition. This particular unit is one of the desirable made in USA versions.

This superb unit includes a plethora of extras;

-Original Power Cord and Midi External Keyboard Cable

-A very special and RARE set of lecture notes with the creator of the Xpander with useful hints, tips, and facts about the unit.

Don't miss out on this great vintage desktop with all of the aforementioned extras. Vintage synth explorer ranks this a 5 out of 5 possible stars, and for excellent reason. The possibilities are endless with the Xpander, you will not find a more perfect machine anywhere!"

Modded Commodore 64 with Mssiah and Cynthcart Catridges

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"Up for grabs we have a modded Modded Commodore 64 (details of mods below) with both Mssiah and Cynthcart Catridges, as well as a blank Sid2sid board from 8bitventures, the makers of the MSSIAH Cart. I never got around to purchasing another sid chip and installing it, but it's a good idea to max out the polyphony for MSSIAH. I am also including (2) PC ONLY VST Controller Plugins by Total Kontrol (total-kontrol.websCOM):

1) Mssiah Mono Synthesizer Controller (realtime editor which allows you to control every parameter found on Mssiah Mono Synthesizer. Mssiah Mono Synthesizer Controller operates as a standalone editor or as a VSTi plugin (Windows), and offers a preset manager and other extra features not present on the hardware).

2) Mssiah Drummer Controller (lets you control every parameter found on Mssiah* Drummer on one single screen. No more frustrating sub menus, full control over 2 SID chips (if installed) filters and voice mapping. Drummer operates as a standalone editor or as a VSTi plugin (Windows).

I purchased the C64 modded off eBay less than a year ago with the following modifications:
-1/4" Output for Audio (to amp, soundcard, etc.)
-RCA plug for Colored Video (you can still hook up the original output for B+W if need be), Output is very nice in color (please see pics)

Just to recap, in addition to the Modded C64 with it's original PSU, Paddle Joystick, and an AV cable for the color output, this unit comes with an 8bitadventures Mssiah Cartridge, Brand New Sid2Sid Board (8bitventurescom/mssiah/), current version of Cynthcart Cartridge (v1.2.4), and (2) PC-only VST plugins to control MSSIAH from your DAW (automation baby!)"
