1010music nanobox | razzmatazz + Alesis SP4


video upload by 1010music

"The World’s Juiciest Groovebox

This video covers the steps to trigger the razzmatazz from a compact multi-trigger pad. The pad used in this video is an Alesis SamplePad 4 but the principles here apply to any percussion triggering pad or brain.

Video Outline:
1:00 Configure MIDI input
1:10 Triggering one-shots
1:27 Mapping velocity to pitch
2:15 Triggering slices
2:50 Start & stop clips
3:45 Capturing MIDI to the sequencer

Create the juiciest beats and tastiest rhythms with nanobox | razzmatazz, a mini drum sequencer that combines powerful FM synthesis and sampling. Featuring advanced voice architecture, razzmatazz puts a huge range of percussive sounds at your fingertips—from deep and gritty kick drums to searing snare hits and crisp hi-hats. Perform using 8 touchscreen pads or your favorite midi controller, and craft up to 16 rhythms using an innovative visual sequencer that allows you to see all pad states and steps simultaneously. Shape the sound of each pad by combining any variation of two FM oscillators and a WAV file—plus two filters, two envelopes, a resonator, a snap generator, and three additional effects. You can even choose from four unique types of distortion to create incredibly distinct and powerful drum sounds. Enjoy massive analog drum sounds and an innovative feature set, all in a compact package that goes anywhere."

MeloDICER With New MEX3 MIDI Expander Playing Both Eurorack Voices And Alesis NanoPiano


video upload by John L Rice

"The meloDICER’s analog output goes into a Synth Tech E102 Quad Temporal Shifter for my typical four voice Eurorack patch and the meloDICER is also sending out MIDI via the MEX3 MIDI expander to an Alesis NanoPiano. At the beginning you are hearing only the Eurorack voices and then I turn up the volume of the NanoPiano and by the end I’ve turned off the Eurorack voices and just the sound from the NanoPiano synth remains. #modularsynth #electronicmusic #eurorack"

Location: Northern Germany
Contact: xu.sounddesign@gmx.net

This is the second demo of soundpack 'MOVIE SCORE' with 128 (!!!) patches I have designed for the Alesis Andromeda.

All sounds are from the Andromeda. No other synths were used. No compressors, no limiters, no equalizers, no plugins.

All in all there are 128 (!!!) ambient and chillout patches in the package with smoking pads, grainy strings, organic drones, landscapes and deep textures.

I designed all the sounds myself.

If you´re interested in this soundpack, please send me an email (xu.sounddesign@gmx.net). Please check your spam-folder."

12/13/23 (filter opening, pitch) Roland Jupiter 6 + Akai ME20A + Alesis Midiverb II (46)


video upload by Cfpp0

"Added the Alesis Midiverb II to the Roland Jupiter 6 and Akai ME20A window. It’s a bloom machine, but it’s great at reversed effects, like this reversed delay preset #46. The Midiverb II is being used in mono here. I still don’t really understand how the ME20A turns chords into these odd sequences in sequential playback mode, but when I switch to up mode it makes a bit more sense."

"Professionally serviced. All potentiometers were cleaned and now work as they should. Muting transistors replaced. Battery replaced. All voices tune up just fine using the onboard autotune function, and this unit sounds amazing and is ready for its new home.

Note: The keyboard aftertouch on this unit and the other we compared it to is imperfect, meaning the response can vary from key to key using its built in keyboard. (This one actually behaved better than the other)"

"This unit is from the last batch (built in 2010) by Alesis.

Serial A10806045701015

It was never gigged, only used in the studio and taken great care of.

It is truly fully functional (which appears to be rare with these).

- the ribbon works

- all knobs/buttons work

- all 16 voices work fully

It was serviced at Audio Design and Service Inc in Burbank in Jan 2022

At the time one of the headphone output amps was dying, which was a simple fix. This is the only issue I've ever had with it. I had it given a full once-over at the time.

An ex-colleague of mine was a tech at Alesis when the A6 was being sold, he pointed me to ADS as the owner/one who serviced it was an A6 tech as well and thus very knowledgeable about these.

I would call it Mint condition, except some minor paint-only scratches in the rear and discoloration of the lettering on the rear which is a tad yellowish vs how it was new."

DAWlessly Recreating Café Del Mar on mostly 90s synths


video upload by Bleeps and Boops

"Sadly I don't own any of the JP8K or Access Virus synths, so most of Ferry Corsten's output is out... as is Xpander!

Synths are the Nord Lead 2X, Roland JV1080, Moog Sub 37, Yamaha TX81Z, plus the Akai S3000XL. Sequencing is on the Squarp Hapax, reverb is from the Alesis Quadraverb."

Inside the Prototype Alesis 6461 QS6



Here are ome pics of the inside of the prototype Alesis 6461 QS6 posted here, in via Mike. These pics have been added to that post as well.

Per Mike: "Looks like a 'nearly production' version as I see only 2 hand soldered jumper cables. Everything else looks neat. Even the PCMCIA card slot is there, even though there is no external plastic guide/surround."

Note the ALESIS S6 MAIN PCB REV. x5 dated 5-23-95 printed on the PCB in the 2nd to last image below, followed by a sticker found inside dated 9-5-95. It likely fell off a chip.

The QS6 was released in 1996, per Wikipedia: "In 1996, Alesis introduced the first of their QS series synthesizers. The first of these were the QS6 61-key synth and the QSR rackmount synth. Following these in quick succession were the QS7 76-key synth and the QS8 88-key synth"

Update via Mike: "Info from one of the original Alesis engineers around the time says that this was the only prototype made. They had done tests 'out of the box' but only 1 physical 6461 was made."
