Jamming with a Boss DR-55, Korg MS-10, Moog Voyager, Kawai K3, and Rhodes Mark I

Voices of Echo

"Started jamming with my Boss DR-55 and recorded what happened after with my Korg MS-10, Moog Voyager, Kawai K3, and Rhodes Mark I. I thought I'd chunk it out a bit to show you how I record. I walked through each of the initial parts, laying out the track, and then recording a bit of extra jeuge. Towards the end of the video you can hear the finished result."

DELTA CEP A - Workshop Audio-Demos, no talking.

Jörg Schaaf

"This video covers all the audio demos of the DELTA CEP A workshop introduction video but does not contain any talking. Please check the Delta CEP A workshop video if you would like to know, how the audio demos have been created. All what you hear in this video is made just with the Delta CEP A and it's built in FX section. Only the FM example uses the signal from a RT-311 swarm oscillator as a FM modulator.

The Delta CEP A simply has extremely clear waveforms with overtones up to the Nyquist frequency. For this reason, here is a link to the uncompressed wave file with the audio samples that the encoder did not want to process properly. The unfiltered Swarm oscillator signals were particularly affected. In the analyzer of the Logic Pro X EQ you can very nicely observe how far the overtones in the DELTA CEP A range for rectangular, pulse and sawtooth waveforms."

RC-808 Re-Create the 808 Official Website Update From the Makers of the Original Roland x0x Series

RC-808 Re-Create has a new home with some updates at https://rc-808.com. Click through for the new site. Note RC-808 Re-Create is from the original developers of the Roland TR-808 & x0x series. See this post for a pic of the "Analog Mafia" as they are known, along with some initial details on the project.

Regarding the new site:

"At the moment we are busy developing the VST / AU plug-in versions on Win / Mac environments. We are a very small entity with very much limited workforce, centered around Tadao Kikumoto, the project leader of the vintage TR-808. The sheer amount of parameters derived from the vast 8 partial architecture makes it a tough challenge to realize automation on DAW. Yet still, we will bring the plug-in edition to you very soon.

Again, because we are interested only in distributing our own vision of what we actually wanted the original 808 to be, and as the token of our deepest gratitude to all of our great beautiful fans of the 808, we are providing this as free of charge, still even now, as it was from the beginning of this endeavor.

The 808 is only the beginning. Create your own sonic universe, and voyage across the gulf of sound space from here.

Thank you so much for your patience.
Stay safe, stay healthy, stay cool, and please please do take good care of yourself."

1972 Triadex Muse Sequencer with Lightbox

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Very rare Triadex Muse Sequencer unit, built in Newton, Mass. Even more rare is the Lightbox add-on unit. Considering their age, both units are in very good condition. There are 4 issues to mention: The ‘Tempo’ fader knob is missing. Aside from affixing another similar knob to the fader hook, one can adjust the control with a thin rod, if need be. The internal speaker is not functioning. I always ran RCA’s out to a 1/4” to seperate amplification, as the internal speaker volume was rather low output. I will supply that cable in the purchase. There are also four dots drawn on the lower corner of the Lightbox. The B8 bulb on the actual sequencer has always been dim. This is the first sequencer of it’s kind ever built..."

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"I'll start by saying, the new versions are def cool, but not even close in raw tone. The original is still the real deal. These are quirky, cool synths... the best of Japanese Filters for sure. Gritty, gnarly and more. Two OSCs of sweet tone. Notice there is no screw on the VCA section panel.. this is an original 35 filter version.. known to be much more aggressive in tone and much rarer than the latter filters : )"

"The Roland SH-101, released in 1982, is a Japanese-made analog subtractive monophonic synthesizer that helped define the sounds of a generation of electronic music, used by artists such as Devo, The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin, and more. The SH-101 boasts a 3-waveform oscillator with controls for an LFO, a VCF filter, an ADSR envelope, and more. The final touch is the ability to attach a modulation arm, allowing this synth to function as a "keytar". If you're looking for the real deal when it comes to iconic 80s synth sounds, look no further!
