AIRA -- The evolution of the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Machine
Published on Jan 14, 2014 RolandChannel·828 videos
"Roland Engineers discuss the initial concept of the TR-808 which was conceived and built in 1980. Although it was designed to create 'backing tracks', creative musicians started to use the Rhythm Machine as an instrument and music changed forever. Now the evolution begins again."
Follow-up to this post.
Some discussion on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge & the MATRIXYSNTH Facebook Page
Update: image, price and details of AIRA:

3 synced drum machines (TR-77, KPR-77, CR-8000) with Evolver and Seiko DS-250
Published on Jan 14, 2014
"I modified the Roland TR-77V and built a circuit for the Dave Smith Instruments Evolver so that they can be clocked by trigger signals. More here: http://acreil.wordpress.com/2014/01/1...
The Roland CR-8000 (hi-hat, handclap) is slaved to the Korg KPR-77 (bass, snare, hi-hat) via DIN sync. One KPR-77 trigger output clocks the TR-77 (miscellaneous patterns with spring reverb) in an irregular pattern, while the other is connected to the "register" input on the CR-8000 (switching between two different patterns). The CR-8000's accent trigger output clocks the Evolver (with Ibanez SDR-1000 reverb). I added two overdubs with the Seiko DS-250, processed by the SDR-1000 and Yamaha FX900. Recorded 2013."

Volca Sleaze Free Sample Library (Link Below in Description)
"Volca Sleaze is a 42 sound one-shot library featuring the Volca Keys analog synthesizer by Korg.
This machine has many great "key" sounds. As usual, our aim is to think "hmm… what if..."
We took the Volca and ran it through multiple analog filters, LFOs for texture, multiple gain-staging, and parallel ring modulation for a gritty spatial tone. To take it even further, we focused mainly on drum sounds. Yes, drum sounds. But, never fear there are filthy sound effects, bass, and keys too.
All sounds are offered in 16 and 24 bit resolution, 44.1kHz wave files.
If you would like to contribute to the hard work it took to make these samples, please visit our store at www.darksideofthetune.com and purchase one of the many sample libraries available.

YAMAHA A4000 PRO SAMPLER
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
I almost posted this one on MATRIXSYNTH-B, but decided to do a quick search here on MATRIXSYNTH for A4000. Turns out there were only three other posts mentioning the A4000 in passing. That make this the first proper A4000 post on the site. The following are some details on this older sampler from the listing and I'm guessing the original product blurb:
"Features:
A New Breed of Sampler is Born
Ever since the introduction of sampling technology, virtually every rackmount sampler on the market has been just that — a sampler — and nothing more. Sure there have been advancements in sound quality and the addition of digital effects, but the basic concept has remained the same — UNTIL NOW. Announcing the arrival of the revolutionary A4000 — professional samplers with the power not only to create sounds, but to shape them in a way never before dreamed possible.
Impressive Specs
The A4000 have impressive specs for a sampling unit. Both models are expandable with up to 128 MB of RAM and can accommodate an Internal Hard Drive and Internal Zip® Drive simultaneously. The A4000 provides 16 Multitimbral Parts and 64 Notes of Polyphony. And for ultimate flexibility and convenience, these samplers are compatible with a wide range of sample formats, including AIFF and WAV among others, and are bundled with special Sample and Parameter Editing Software.
Not Merely 'Samplers'
The A4000 are not merely "samplers" — they are advanced synthesis tools that let you process samples creatively...and easily. The A4000 provide abundant features for versatile sound production: 16 Types of Ultra Fat Filters that deliver powerful resonance, 96 Types of Effects for creating never-before-heard sounds, a MIDI Syncable LFO with fully programmable waveforms, unprecedented Loop Divide/Remix and Resampling functions, Direct-to-CD Burning capability and much, much more! And with their Large LCD Panel, heavy-duty Real-time Control Knobs and Intuitive User Interface, these samplers are incredibly easy to operate, allowing you to give full concentration to creating your own unique sounds music.
Powerful Filter Section
The A4000 feature an elaborate filter stage, providing 16 different filter types with complete control over the parameters. Many filter types feature a Q (resonance) setting that can be controlled by keyboard velocity — great for creating expressive acid leads and basses. Along with the standard low-pass, high-pass and band pass filters, these samplers feature many unusual filters such as band eliminate, peak, and dip filters. Also included are several unique multi-mode filters, which let you assign two independent filters to a single sample; a low-pass and high-pass filter for example.
96 Outstanding Onboard Effects
The A4000 are not just high-quality samplers, they're also highly advanced digital multi-effect processors, exceeding the capability of many professional stand-alone effect processors. Each effect block can be assigned any one of the 96 onboard effect algorithms, which include a huge selection of reverbs, distortions, modulation effects and delays, as well as several truly unique effects such as Auto Synth, Tech Modulation, Digital Scratch and an extensively programmable Lo-Fi effect. Most effect types can be applied during the sampling process — combine this capability with the Resampling function and you'll have virtually endless effect processing power at your fingertips. You can even have the A4000 double as a high-end studio effects processor by assigning effects to the stereo analog inputs."

Analogue session 1 : analogue solutions - Red Square V2
Uploaded on Mar 1, 2010 ArkOdd·3 videos
"Quick demo of the possibilities of the red square for bass and lead + some drones.
The main beat comes from the filter (resonance in self oscillation). Not a conventional beat but hypnotic.
It's a raw demo with no fx so it's loud and static.
Mixed in logic with some sidechain compression (mode ducking, no gain). And a little touch of exciter and EQ on the main output."

Twisted Tools release ULTRALOOP Remixing Sampler
Note the above playlist is from Twisted Tools. Video 10 was set to private a the time of this post. You can use the controls at the bottom of the player to skip it.
"New loop remixing sampler, instantly generates infinite new loops
San Francsico, January 14th, 2014 - Twisted Tools have released ULTRALOOP, a first-of-its-kind loop remixing sampler with a fast and intuitive visual workflow for Native Instruments *Reaktor. ULTRALOOP combines advanced loop layering, comping, effect processing and automation techniques to generate new grooves, riffs and song ideas. You can use ULTRALOOP with the included factory sample library or to remix your own samples, injecting new life into any existing loop library. ULTRALOOP is available now from the Twisted Tools Shop for $69.
At the core of ULTRALOOP is an advanced loop layering engine and sequencer, capable of both layering and comping - a production technique that allows you to flip between layered tracks that are playing back simultaneously, by muting and un-muting slices of each layer. Up to eight tracks with loops of any BPM can be layered or comped together in real-time and can be further processed using the all-new Gestural FX engine. The Gestural FX engine automatically generates dynamic effect movements that ramp and modulate over time, using a suite of creative effects designed to produce endless fills, articulations and variations.
To create additional loops and variations, ULTRALOOP features and endless supply of randomization functions, connected to a unique Preset Grid system for each main parameter group. A Preset Grid allows you to store, recall and automate settings by using a dynamic memory grid made up of 17 slots that can be played on-the-fly. The settings for the entire instrument, including all the parameter Preset Grids can be stored and recalled in one of eight Global Scenes, allowing you to create infinite loop variations. All the relevant instrument features can be played with live, without skipping a beat, by using a mouse, MIDI or OSC.
ULTRALOOP comes bundled with various additional content, including an iPad *Lemur template by Antonio Blanca and a factory loop library by artists from Enig’matik, Loopmasters and Sounds of Revolution. A series of Ultraloop Expansion Packs are available separately and feature loops and presets by artists such as Si Begg, Dusty Fungus and Chris Carter.
*Reaktor Player not supported.
**iPad and Liine Lemur iPad App sold separately

MTG R100 Builder – Kawai R100 EPROM Builder Software & Expander Switcher
via Music Technologies Group
"This software will enable you to create your own custom EPROMs (BIN files) for the Kawai R100 legendary 12-bit drum machine/rhythm composer.
In a nutshell you collect/create a bunch of WAV files, one for each of the 24 instruments and then this software compiles and converts them into the compressed Kawai format. It’s been a pretty big undertaking, starting with the dissection of the Kawai ASICs. I will eventually include a User Manual and a bunch of WAV and BIN files to get you started.
Your WAV files should each be:
Mono (1 track)
Sample rate of 31.25kHz (you can resample easily in Audacity or similar)
16-bit linear PCM (standard WAV)
Should fit within the sample space of the pad you are targeting."

"These are new "SoundSwitcher" boards for the Kawai R100. Each board includes copies of all 3 of the Kawai Factory ROMs that were released. (It is my understanding that these are the ROMs for the R100/R50, R50e and a jazz/fusion one.) You get triple the sounds and it's awesome.
Set-by-step instructions with photos are included. Don't miss this chance to fit your R100 with all the sounds made for it. The circuit board is silkscreened with the signal names, so all you circuit benders out there can bend your drum machine without messing with a fine vintage instrument."

"This particular Mono/Poly is in excellent condition. It has never been gigged or abused, clearly lived in studios its whole life and looks almost mint. There is only minor wear on the front corners of the veneer on the side panels, that is about it. The front panel is flawless without blemishes.
Functionally the unit is 100%, it is working perfectly and plays and sounds great. Prior to sale the unit has gone through our usual high standard of full refurbishment. This includes the following work-
- Replace all electrolytic capacitors with high quality Panasonic/Nichicon.(Makes a huge difference to stability and performance)
- Completely rebuild power supply.
- Thorough cleaning inside and out.
- Replace all electrolytic capacitors with high quality, high temp Panasonic/Nichicon capacitors.
- Clean key contacts.
- All pots, switches and buttons are working perfectly and with no noise or error. They have been cleaned/ lubed or replaced where necessary.
- Complete calibration according to Korg factory spec.
This really brings these old synths back to life and returns them to their former glory. There wouldn't be many Mono/polys in the country with this amount of work and restoration put into them. It sounds amazing and would be great for professionals or amateurs alike."

Track 1 - Kick drum. A patch on the Red Square sequenced by an EMU MoPhatt arpeggiator.
Track 2 - An acid style pattern programmed into the arpeggiator of an EMU MoPhatt, sequencing the Red Square through midi. Live knob twiddling by drunkenman. aka. CampagnoloFIST!
No effects, automation or external processing were used.

"A synth demo featuring an 'Analogue Solutions - Red Square' analogue synthesiser sequenced by an 'Analogue Solutions - Oberkorn' analogue step sequencer.
No edits, effects or external processing were used.
'Hardware, you know it's there!!!'"
Two additional videos from the auction previously posted here.
"Brief Overview of the Red Square:
Red Square is a patchable analogue monosynth that can also be used as an effects processor. It has some of the advantages of a modular synth (re-wireable synth circuits, external control, external signal routing) and the advantage of a pre-patched monosynth (easy to use, instant sound, tidy front panel). Its 1/4" jacks sockets mean it can easily be integrated into a studio just like any synth or processor.

Propellerhead ReDominator Alpha Juno 1/2 Emulation
ReDominator Intro Published on Jan 14, 2014
"ReDominator is an emulation of the classic Alpha Juno 1/2 (JU-1/2), a polyphonic DCO (digitally controlled oscillator) based synth from 1986. The JU-1/2 became popular in the early 90's techno and rave scene particularly by the classic Hoover sound (which ReDominator attempts to emulate accurately). But beyond those niche sounds there lays a versatile synthesizer that does bass, pads, leads, organs and a lot of other sounds waiting to be discovered!

Low Pass G.A.S.
Published on Jan 13, 2014 John L Rice·242 videos
"A rough and loose comparison of six different low pass filters:
00:23 MOTM-440 http://www.synthtech.com/motm440.html
06:05 MOTM-490 http://www.synthtech.com/motm490.html
11:59 Croglin http://www.oakleysound.com/croglin.htm

21:44 9504A http://www.uaudio.com/blog/moog-ladde...
28:18 M506 http://www.noisebug.net/site/effects/...
The basic patch was:
3 x MOTM-300 VCOs, PWM'd by a MOTM-380 LFO and pulse outputs into a STG Mixer, then to one of the VCF's and then to a MOTM-190 VCA. Two different MOTM-800's were used, one for the VCA and one for the VCF. Sequencer was a Moon Modular 569. On the first couple VCF's I also used a COTK C964 Ratchet Sequencer module and a third MOTM-800 into the VCF but, I forgot to use it on the last 3 or 4 VCF's! :-/"
