Roland R-8, Bass Bot TT-303, Korg Synthepedal FK-1 demo by Jordan Passmore


Published on Oct 23, 2014 Jordan Passmore

"This demo features the Roland R-8 drum machine (w/ "Dance" card, featuring a few of the sounds of the Roland CR-78 and TR-808 Hand Clap), Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot TT-303 (as you can guess by the looks of it, a Roland TB-303 clone) bass synth and Korg Synthepedal filter module. The first portion of the video features the normal sound of the TT-303, then, the 303 ran through the Synthepedal. The Synthepedal is a bandpass filter similar to those found in the very early Korg analog synths (770, 800dv, etc) with an envelope follower to track incoming audio. The envelope modulation affects both the high and lowpass filters at the same time creating a fairly unique squelching sound that suits the 303 very well. All of the hardware is mixed on my Studiomaster Pro Line mixer (I am using the multi outs of the R8 to to control the levels of each drum separately via the mixer). On the aux busses I have a DOD R-845 Spring Reverb and a Washburn A-09 Analog delay.

The Synthepedal was modified by the previous owner. If anyone has some original spare Korg knobs/sliders around (early Korg prefered but even if it's MS-20/Polysix-ish) I am interested!"
