Nord Drum Preset Drum Kits Demo
Published on Jun 28, 2014 zibbybone·144 videos
"Just a quick demo of the drum kits that come pre-programmed into the Nord Drum. Of course you can create your own sounds or copy and paste your favorite sounds from various kits into a new kit of your own.
I programmed a simple beat using my Roland Fantom X6's arpeggiator and used MIDI program changes to remotely change the drum kits remotely.
As you can hear, the Nord Drum is capable of a variety of sounds from emulations of acoustic drums, classic analog drum boxes, ethnic percussion and wild sound effects."

Franck Vigroux's "2024" video by Fabien Zocco from The Wire Magazine on Vimeo.
"Watch a video made by Fabien Zocco for musician, label runner and festival curator Franck Vigroux's track, '2024' exclusive to The Wire.
Speaking with Brian Morton in The Wire 364, Franck Vigroux – while influenced by GRM and composer/philosophers like Bernard Parmegiani, Xenakis, Penderecki and Morton Feldman – describes himself as part of a generation of composers in France 'who’ve been trying to regenerate music theatre or hybrid forms. I can’t really analyse my ‘philosophy’, but I am particularly obsessed by the intrinsic nature of sound, which surprises me constantly. So I spend my time in the studio searching for sounds, using all sorts of machines and devices. For instance, I’ve just finished a record where I simply played an old guitar through an amplifier with very little additional in the way of effects but with a range of tones and overtones [accordages] – which then become the object of meticulous research.'
Alongside curating Les Instants Sonores music and arts festival in Mende, southern France and the White Noises festival in the Paris suburb of Arcueil, since 2003 Vigroux has run the D’Autres Cordes label, releasing work by Samuel Sighicelli, Elliott Sharp, Matthew Bourne and others. Vigroux also regularly collaborates with vocalist Ben Miller as Transistor, video artist Antoine Schmitt as Tempest and with Reinhold Friedl and Mika Vainio.
Vigroux and Reinhold Friedl’s Tobel is released by La Muse En Circuit. Les Instants Sonores takes place 11–15 June.

Tony Brock's SIMMONS SDX Digital MIDI Drum Percussion Synth Sampler Kit?
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Holy cow! This is Tony Brock's Simmons SDX, in working condition and with a full set of disks and 7 SDX pads! This is the Fairlight of drum synthesizers. Only 250 were built and who knows how many have survived.
The main unit comes with its original flight case, in which it will be shipped. There is a snake cable for the pads and a power cord (not sure why two are pictured, sorry!). The only thing lacking is the cable for the snare pad, which is unique, but shouldn't be too hard to make. There are no stands or other hardware with this set. Since this is a vintage computer, it is sold as-is. Any damage claims will be handled through the shipping carrier.
From Simmonsmuseum.com:
"16bit 44.1kHz sampling unit. independent computer with monochrome display, trackball, floppy and operating system. 16 inputs for so called zone intelligent pads, 16 outputs. Optional internal hard drive, scsi interface, up to 8MB ram.
The chassis consists of a a heavy steel frame with a welded on grip and a sheet metal tub that holds the electronic boards The upper covering is made of coated plywood. Lifting the chassis reminds me of the Star Wars scene where dieing Darth Vader lifts his helmet: Under a real exclusive piece of industrial design there's an ordenary ugly computer doing its work."

DSN-12 can use three FX (sound effect) at once and with this tune I used all three FX for delay effect., so this drum beats were the result of 3 of delays ;)

"The TQ5 was an entry level FM Workstation in a keyboardless, sparsely decorated desktop unit. It takes after the smaller line of FM synthesizers like the DX-100, DX-21, DX-11, TX81Z, and FB-01. These featured 4 FM operators per voice, and 8 voices of polyphony. And like the latter three, 8-parts multitimbrality was featured. The TQ5 also had easy "Quick Edit" keys to access some basic parameters for instant tweaks. The TQ5 was capable of many of the good, the strange & the weird sounds FM synthesizers made.
The TQ5 featured built-in digital effects and an 8-track sequencer (with 8 song capacity) rounding out the "workstation" aspect of this machine. Designed for use as a stand-alone FM workstation or as a MIDI module, the TQ5 was poised to bring high-end FM sounds to entry-level users.

circuit bent YAMAHA RX17 DRUM MACHINE with percussion grinding switch matrix

TODAYS VICTIM: YAMAHA RX17
This has been hanging around for some time and we're sick of the sight of it, so its got to go! Bidding starts at 1p
Sometimes you might wonder why Yamaha released so many drum machines under the RX name that were so similar in many ways, and we don't have an answer for you, The Yamaha RX-17 was near the bottom of the RX range with only the RX21 and the dreadful preset only RX120 beneath it in terms of features. Having said that, when the RX17 has been circuit bent like this machine, it is capable of eating its older cousins such as the RX15 or RX11 for breakfast, dinner and any other meal you might care to mention!
The circuit bent RX17 has a kind of gentle savagery to it that you don't find on any other bent drum machine, as the sounds tend to be a little more crisp and separated, rather than mashed together in one terrifying wall of distorted glitching noise.
This machine includes a 24 way Bend Bus switching matrix that warps and glitches the onboard sounds in all manner of unlikely and disturbing ways. Each switch connects one bend point to the common 'bend bus' when activated. If you then use another switch to connect another bend point to the bend bus, these two bend points will interact with each other to create some of the most bizarre and extreme audio mangling effects you'll ever hear.
Each bend point has a different effect and will also change its effect depending on which other points its connected to at the time. You can activate as many switches as you want at any time, but you will need at least two switched on to activate any effect. Effects available range from what sounds like comb filters, ring modulation, bit crushing, distortion, bizarre time stretching, EQ, and what can only be described as audio smearing™.
The RX-17 seems especially good at shimmering ring mod and chopping effects on the high frequency sounds, along with unexpected percussion sequences on each drum hit i.e. the crash cymbal can start as a crash and then strangely morph into a clap, timbale or any / all of the other sounds in sequence. It also seems keen on creating looping within the sound sample, as if a short loop has been set up and the loop start point is moved along the sample as it plays back.
This machine will never be a punchy bass monster, but if you want a cheap source of some of the most bizarre circuit bent percussion sounds you'll ever hear, you won't go far wrong with a RX17.
The RX17 has 26 typically 80's Yamaha onboard sounds, with Midi in/out, and a pair of audio outputs. You can find a copy of the manual HERE, although its about as difficult to use as a toothbrush, so we doubt you'll need it.
Take a listen to the demos below to get an idea of the kind of sounds this machine can now produce. With none of the switches activated, it acts like a normal RX17."
