Super 80s Kit - Thomas Dolby inspired - Simmons SDS8 - Roland MKS-7 - Beatstep Pro


Published on Jun 6, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"Was listening to Thomas Dolby today and reading some stuff about his song 'She Blinded Me With Science'. Came home and put my Simmons SDS8 and Roland MKS-7 to good use making a Super 80s Kit! Yeah! Any similarity between this little jam and the above-mentioned song is, well, kind of intentional. Dolby was such a huge synth influence on me. Here is how it's all set up: The drum track on the BSP has 5 pads going out through drum gates to the Simmons, and the rest of the pads are being sent via MIDI to the MKS-7. I used the Arturia software to map the pads to where they needed to be to trigger the TR707 sounds in the MKS-7. Channels 1 and 2 on the BSP are going to the Melody and Bass tracks of the MKS-7 respectively. Enjoy!"
