"i used OXI Ones Multitrackmode and Euclidean Generator to program some drum patterns for the Nord Drum 3P
2 other patterns are created using the arp - playing the Novation Peak and Macbeth M3X"
Linn LinnDrum LM2 synced with the 1010music Blackbox
video upload by Pepe Mogt
"The LinnDrum was the second machine from Linn Electronics. It's basically an upgraded version of the original with added crash and ride cymbals to the kit. The LinnDrum uses samples of acoustic drum sounds. At the time, they sounded great and much more realistic and they were a fresh alternative to the analog drum sounds of the '80's drum machines. The LinnDrum also had a handy upgrade option, a well designed layout and interface, and live drum trigger inputs.
The LinnDrum had beefed up the sampled sounds from 28 to a 35kHz sample rate. It features 15 sounds including bass, snare, rimshot, hihat, crash, ride, three toms, cabasa, tambourine, high and low congas, cowbell, and clap. Up to 12 sounds are available simultaneously. Individual controls are available to tune, pan, and mix each drum sound via dedicated knobs and sliders. An Accent is available for the kick, snare and hats. The handy upgrade options involve inserting new chips containing new sets of sampled drum sounds created by many session drummers of the time.
The sequencer had some innovative features (for the time) such as swing, quantizing and memory storage! Two-bar patterns can be recorded in real or step time, with or without quantizing. There are 56 user patterns for storing your drum patterns. There are also 42 preset drum patterns. Patterns can be arranged into Songs for which there are 49 memory locations. Old songs and patterns can be off-loaded to cassette tape for storage. Designed for the studio, there are 15 individual outputs for each sound around the back as well as external sync and trigger but no MIDI (unless modified by a 3rd party)."

"This is an advanced 4 channel V/Oct CV / Gate Sequencer with an extra CV2 for i.e. VCF or VCA control and an MPX gate control for i.e. drum triggers, external modular gear aso. All switches work fine and key 1 and 2 are triggering double sometimes, but that's easily addressed with the back button or more usage. It can be programmed by the keypad or an external CV / Gate keyboard. There's also a modern way of programming it with the MC4 Hack program for Mac & PC."

"Is the Prophet 600 a viable alternative to the Prophet 5? We're here to find out! The Prophet 600 is about £2k cheaper than a Prophet 5 but can it make similar sounds? are they essentially the same synth, same circuits with different interface and a couple of minor differences?

CIRCUIT BENT PS2 - LSD: Dream Emulator / B.L.U.E. / GTA VC - Soft Modded, Internal SSD (FMCB)
video upload by LoFiFuture
"Taking on a limited number of these circuit bent PS2s for 2022! https://www.lofifuture.com/storefac96...
And for all the DIYers out there, I'm currently editing the tutorial one how to circuit bend your own PlayStation 2!
This modification starts with a full disassembly and deep clean of the PS2, the optical drive is removed in favour of an internal HDD and a memory card running Free McBoot. (Free McBoot is a custom firmware that runs on a memory card that resides in memory card slot two of the console. It introduces various features to the PS2, the main one being the ability to run game backup ISOs from an internal HDD, via ethernet or from a USB pen drive)
Once the optical drive is removed 23 toggle switches are mounted on the top of the console to control the circuit bends a long with a RCA video out and 3.5mm stereo audio out omitting the need for the original Sony AV cable. 14 of the toggle switches are wired into the traces between the Emotion Engine (EE) and Graphics Synthesizer (GS) chips on the PlayStation motherboard. These corrupt the 3D data running into the GS before they are sent to the video output encoder.
9 of the toggle switches are wired into the Sound Processing Unit (SPU) RAM for some circuit bent audio effects. all 23 of these switches are wired to the same "bend bus" meaning that when two or more switches are in the "on" position they are connected together. Connecting the audio data bends to video data bends results in chaotic and mesmerising cross modulation.
Every game is effected differently by the toggle switches. Some are easy to crash with certain switches. Some games will take everything you throw at it and then some! It all depends on how the game you are trying to glitch out was programmed and how it utilises the hardware we are mercilessly forcing into a corrupted state. It helps to make a "switch map" for any game that like to crash when things get to glitchy, this was you can easily rule out what does and does not work for a particular game.
For example, running the PS1 copy of LSD: Dream Emulator produces some incredible effects but likes to crash when I flick one particular section of switches into action. On the other hand, GTA: Vice city will run with every single toggle switch on and revert back to completely normal visuals.
Includes:
-Circuit Bent PS2 Console (PAL or NTSC, select from the dropdown)
- Aftermarket PS2 controller
-Internal 120GB HDD + Network/HDD card"
DX5 playing Alphaville "Forever Young" cover.
video upload by DX5
"'Forever Young' Instrumental cover. I tweaked the JX-8P filter live for the song intro which sounded quite accurate (I guess it was originally done on a Jupiter 8 but the JX-8P did the job well).
The vocoder style effect in the intro was my own voice thru the Access Virus TI snow vocoder, sampled into the Emax (doesn't sound much as the original though :).
Gear used (L to R):
Roland JP8000,
Kurzweil PC1x,
Roland JX-8P,
Emu Emax.
Backtrack recorded on its entirely, track by track, by me using Pro Tools. No original audio was involved.
Original song composed by Marian Gold, Bernard Lloyd, Frank Mertens.

"Korg / Univox MiniKorg 700 Analog Synth. Full working condition. It was just internally calibrated by an analog tech. Filters, LFO, Scale Range all calibrated and it plays / sounds amazing. This has the most wicked leads and basses. SO many bands used this synth on session and gigs. I've owned or still own just about every analog synth made... this korg sounds like no other, and no other does what it does.. the closest ive found was with a Korg 770.. which is double this price and crazy hard to find."

Modular synthesizer meets Boesendorfer grand piano sent through Strymon Magneto
video upload by
"Having fun with Strymon Magneto and a piano improvisation.
Used a pair of headphones (!) as microphone inside the piano and then patched that signal through mutable ears into Magneto.... Definitely the weirdest pair of mics i ever used, searched for anything with 3,5mm jack well i can say this works surprisingly well!
Recorded on boesendorfer grand piano and a custom modular synthesizer.
Arpeggiator Style Etude written for modular synth and piano."

The Sound of STYX - To Much Time On My Hands - Oberheim OB-X Synthesizer
video upload by RetroSound
"One of my favorite songs from STYX.
I used the Oberheim OB-X Synthesizer from the year 1978 for all synth sounds.
For the Rhodes Mk1 sound I used my Yamaha Reface CP incl. the internal effect section. Played with the Oberheim Xk keyboard controller. The SD is a E-MU sample and triggered with the Simmons drum pad."
“Flux meets Jupiter-4 19 - That Pad…” by Friendly Noise
video upload by Friendly Noise
Roland Jupiter 4 and IO Labs Flux.
"The Jupiter 4 is recorded in mono, which makes the internal chorus very subtle. Reverb is added in Cubase to make the sound wider. There is no clipping in the recording chain. If you hear anything close to distortion, it’s all in the sound coming out of the Jupiter 4.
The Roland Jupiter 4 has been rediscovered and established as the most full of character among the Roland polyphonic synths. Although limited in number of voices and straight forward sound architecture, it shines with an unique sonic print which no other synth can emulate. There are lots of great video demos and information on the web, so that no detailed description will be provided here. But it’s important to mention some unique features which will be showed extensively in this video series:
- The Jupiter 4 filter goes into self oscillation. Big guys like Yamaha CS-80, Jupiter 8 or Oberheim OBX-a can’t.
- The LFO is fast enough to get into audio range.
- There is a very noticeable internal saturation when the VCA slider is raised.
Don’t expect nice bass sounds and classic analog leads. The Jupiter 4 is perfect for that, but this has already been done before in many records and internet demos. What you are about to hear is the extreme side of the sound. Be prepared for drones, massive low frequencies, cracking saturation, ultra fast notes and unusual scales. Many sounds will remind you of modular synthesizers, but they were all created by direct recording of the Jupiter 4. :-)
In fact, the VCO is switched off and you will be hearing only the self oscillating filter in almost 80% of the video series. Only in the last videos you will hear the VCO. That means that 80% of the sounds you will hear couldn’t be made with other classic polyphonic synths, unless the filter self oscillates.
Luckily this Jupiter 4 was modded with CV and gate inputs and outputs per voice (and then some). Using this level of control per voice you can use the Jupiter 4 as a vintage monophonic synth, or drive individual voices differently. For example, applying vibrato or slide per voice. In this video series, only three voices were used.o
The amazing sound of this Jupiter 4 can break the traditional boundaries specially when driven by the Temporal Modulation Synthesis sequencer Flux, made by IOLabs: https://www.tmsynthesis.com/
Flux is the most advanced tool for rhythm creation ever made. Ever. Trying to explain Flux is few words is not possible. Please look for information on the web."
