Coron DS-8 Percussion & Drum Synth

video upload by xu.sounddesign - dirk rohde

"The Coron DS-8 'Percussion & Drum Synth' is from the 1980's and was a portable drum synthesizer unit to be attached to a drum kit's snare drum to enhance the player's kit with modern sounds of it's time. The unit contains one VCO and a noise generator that generates white or pink noise and mixed with the balance control giving the instrument.

The oscillator features a sweepable range with a dedicated knob. There is an envelope that offers decay only and an LFO with Rate intensity. The unit is triggering by snare hits but could also be triggered from other vibrations or from a foot switch or audio source."

DIY Analog Drummachine, the DS7 x 4 Clone

Published on Dec 16, 2017 Andreas Remshagen

"Playing with four DS-7 Clones, all together in one Drumsequencer.
The cirquit can be found in the net eg. http://m.bareille.free.fr/ds7clone/ds...
The four Clones are played over a 16 Step Sequencer.
Since the ds7 clone can usually be controlled by a piezo, it needs a very short pulse"

Toa Mata Band - Episode#6 [Orkestrionicle]

Published on Nov 11, 2017 Opificio Sonico

The latest video featuring the Tao Mata Band. Click here to bring up all posts in the series.

"The musical instruments and robot devices used in this episode are:
Rakit Drum synth (Tone Drumsynth), Boss HC-2 (Clap), Arturia BeatStep pro, Coron Rockaku-kun Drum synth (BD+Noise), DIY Glockenspiel, Sabian cymbals, Electro Harmonix Mini-Synthesizer (Bass Synth), Alesis Mod-Fx, TC-Electronics Hall of Fame, Korg mini Kaosspad, Mackie 1402 VLZ, Arduino UNO, Novation Launchpad, Adafruit motor shield."

"Time for a new episode of Toa Mata Band, this one is called 'Orkestrionicle'.

The Orchestrions were mechanic musical instruments that were developed in Germany in the early XIX century that would automatically play music and were designed to sound like an orchestra.

These music machineries were made of a complex system of gears, pulley and levers which were operated by a large pinned cylinder or by a piano roll*.

Their sound was usually produced by pipes, percussion instruments, but many orchestrions contained a piano player as well.

The 6th episode of Toa Mata Band is inspired by these amazing retro music machines, by adding to the LEGO® Bionicle robotic orchestra some acoustic percussions and a vintage mono synthesizer which creates (with help of a bunch of solenoids, robot arm and a MIDI step sequencer) a fully analogue electroacoustic ensemble.
This piece is the results of a live-robotics set recording, mastered in post production.

*The PIANO ROLL is a punched paper roll that contains the note sequence arranged in length, height and time along the duration of the song.
It can be replaced and swapped for another roll with a different song."

Grant Drum Synce DS7 Coron Analog Synth

Yet another Coron drum synth clone. What's bizarre is the Grant logo and design differs from this one. Why?


"A rare japanese made analog drum synth, exactly like the Coron DS7 and the now many countless clones.

It's in good working order with only a few blemishes here and there.

The three top knobs are missing the silver caps and the sensitivity knob I suspect is non original.

9v Battery operated, It works simply by clamping onto any drum rim and the internal sensor responds to the drum hit, alternatively a light tap on the side generates the hit to provide all sorts of fx bleeps and bloops."

Thought this was interesting. I always assumed the various Coron drum synth clones were essentially the same. If you scroll down you'll see the DX-5 appears to be an expanded version with some extra controls on the site. The front panel controls are the same. I have no idea if the range of them and/or specs vary.
