Oldschool Reel To Reel House Jam

"I recommend you watch in high quality for the best possible audio.

This is a jam to test out my newest toys the Roland JX-3P synthesizer, the Roland JSQ-60 sequencer and the Teac A 4300SX that I was given in Florida (Thanks Madge!). This is by no means a finished track but it's the basic idea for one and I might put the time in and make a full track of it.

For the gear nerds out there

Synth - Roland JX-3P & Juno-60
Drums - Roland TR-707, TR-727, MC-303 (kick) as well as Casio RZ-1 for its sweet cowbell and claps
Samples - SP-808
Sequencer - Roland JSQ-60

There is 4 types of sync working together here Din (from the JSQ to the 7x7s) MIDI (from the 7x7s to the MC-303 & RZ-1) trigger signal (from the 727 to the JX-3P's sequencer) and DCB (from the JSQ to the Juno)"

Filter House Jam #1

"This is just a quick demo of something I am working on that I would like your opinion and advice on, I have the basics there but I'm not sure what to do next. I was thinking maybe a cut up spoken word style vocal and eventually multi tracking some proper Juno bass or pads on top of it but any and all advice and opinion would be welcome.

For those of you into the hardware side of things here the SP-808 is master with a sequence of samples sitting in it. The TR-727 is slaved to the SP-808 and the TR-707 is slaved to the TR-727. The Juno is has Hold & the Arpeggio on with the 707's Rim triggering the steps. The patch on the Juno is a mixture of the two recommended Percussion sound patches in the Juno-60 manual and the eagle eyed among you may have spotted that the square, saw and sub osc are all off and the sound is generated entirely by self resonance in the VCF."
