Roland SD-35 + SC-88VL | Monkey Island MIDI Disk Playback ( Sony PCM-M10 audio capture )


video upload by Avrilcadabra

"Hi everyone,

Did you ever serve under #generalmidi #Roland This is a Roland SD-35 Sound Canvas, which is a 3.5 inch GM\GS midi player. It can record also but I have not tried that.

The midi out is connected to the midi in of the SC-88vl so we are hearing its sounds.

If you have a SD-35 and wondering why you get NOP errors when trying to listening to a midi file. Try resaving the file as Format 0, make sure the tick rate is something normal like 240 or 480 and most importantly if theres no time signature event you have to add one, I use the software call Sekaiju to do this. It is windows only.

Filmed on a Sony ZV-e10 camera in 4K with a vintage Japanese made Soligor 35mm sawblade lens wide open, which gives the vintage glow.

Audio recorded on a Sony PCM-M10 which was placed in my studio were my head would be when mixing, JBL 305 monitors and a KRK sub.

Music used to demonstrate this vintage gear is The Secret of Monkey Island, by Micheal Land, property of Lucas Arts."

Noise Engineering | Get Out Of The Box"

VHIKK X by Forge TME - Why modular will always be real and digital music will not.


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Modular synths are more than tools, they're reality itself.
This video explores why digital music can never truly be real, and why analog gear remains the only way to feel sound at the source.

The world is in transit, like it or not.
Music evolved from the stage into the box, from real media to streams, and now from streams into learning models, weights, and rewards.
We can endlessly debate whether AI is OK or not, but we can’t put the demons back into their bottles.

It’s a non-religious blessing to patch a real machine with real voltage.
Every sound I make is Karma: cause and effect, wrapped in a false sense of choice and control.
I love it. It’s a sanctuary.

And the VHIKK?
Everything I say about it will only give you GAS.
It’s one of the finest modules Eurorack has to offer, and currently my #1 module.
So maybe don’t watch this video if you’re on a tight budget.
Or… maybe watch it very carefully.
Because you might just build the ultimate tiny case with it.

All you need is VHIKK and Pam Pro.
Don’t forget power, but you won’t even need an output module.
VHIKK X can run on USB power.
Build a tiny wooden case. Maybe I will too.

We modular people are still a niche.
A tiny community moving upstream and uphill — while the world flows downward.
And it’s an honor to be part of it."

It All Started With An Acoustic Bass Emulation


video upload by EZBOT

"There is something about having both the Digitone II and the Digitakt II together on the tables. Both can do so much but together they can pretty much do anything. The Digitone II is perfect for anything melodic related, chords, basses (even acoustic basses), leads, and percussion too of course. The Digitakt II is the chameleon, it can be anything and do most anything. The power of this sampler is astounding and the workflow is near perfect. In today's episode we make some down-tempo house and show off just how chill these two machines can work together. LED MIDI cables from my shop: https://www.modbang.com/modbang-shop/...

SynthAxe Demo - Full Video #sythnaxe #guitar #synth #music


video upload by natr0n



via Wikipedia

"The SynthAxe is a fretted, guitar-like MIDI controller, created by Bill Aitken, Mike Dixon, and Tony Sedivy and manufactured in England in 1985. It is a musical instrument that uses electronic synthesizers to produce sound and is controlled through the use of an arm resembling the neck of a guitar in form and in use. Its name comes from the words synthesizer and axe, a slang term meaning a guitar in rock music. The system was developed as a joint venture funded by Richard Branson's Virgin Group.

The SynthAxe itself has no internal sound source; it is purely a controller and needs synthesizers to produce sound.[1] The neck of the instrument is angled upwards from the body, and there are two independent sets of strings.

The fretboard is continuously scanned and sends signals to synthesizers which produce the sound. The left set determine the pitch played, through contact with the frets on the neck and by sensing the side-to-side bending of the string. The right set of strings are velocity sensitive; these strings can be plucked, strummed or damped in the same manner as a guitar. A keyboard made up of nine keys can also be used to trigger notes instead of the strings.[2] Design of the key toggles was done by the late David Fowler, at the time trading under BJ Hopkins Injection and toolmaking, in Littleworth, Oxford.

An electronic tremolo bar (the 'electronic wang arm') can be used for standard whammy bar effects, or can be redefined to produce different MIDI output such as filter cutoffs or volume.[3]

When originally produced, the SynthAxe was priced at £10,000[4][5] (approximately $13,000) and eventually sold for about £6,000. The instrument was built from aerospace and military grade hardware, and was such a sophisticated and expensive piece of machinery that few were sold, making it difficult to keep the company afloat. In or around 1986, Virgin Games took over the distribution but let it go after a couple of years.

Fewer than 100 SynthAxes were made,[6] and it is difficult to locate used units. Most musicians who desire a MIDI guitar controller often use other alternatives, such as Roland or Axon systems that can convert a guitar's output to MIDI via 13-pin cables and outboard devices or older systems such as the Roland GR-500."

This Rare 90s FX unit turns anything into surreal ambience

"Nobody talks about the Roland RSP-550, but they should. It rivals the Ensoniq DP/4, slaps the Alesis Quadraverb around, and can be had for under $400. Let me show you why I love this 1U rack mount effects unit from 1991...the perfect dedicated FX unit to run synths & sound effects through. Dream like delays, phasers, and modulated effects"

Linn LM-1 LinnDrum Computer SN 00035 Built In Roger Linn's Home

via this Reverb listing

"RARE piece of Linn Drum LM-1 history. This machine has been updated by the one and only Bruce Forat from Forat Electronics. Bruce is THE repairman for these machines and he has this one cleaned up oh so nice.

Debuting in 1980, these first LM-1 were $5,000 then! During my research, I found that Roger Linn created the first 35 of the machines in a room in his house.This gem is #00035 meaning this was the last one built by Roger before mass production!

This comes with a custom made dust cover and I'm guessing an original manual in a cool shade of Chevy Chase pool blue 80s folder! It will be shipped in a SKB 24x24 case built like a tank.

I've held onto this machine for 25 years and had Bruce tweak it along the way. Now it's time for me to purchase a vehicle so I hope someone else can love it as much as I have. I had Bruce to add the exact signature Prince clap sound as heard on the Purple Rain album. I can also give the winner Bruce's contact information as he is a tremendous resource."

"The kick is out if this world, the sequencing is such a breeze. The snare and hats are perfect. The cymbal is such an 808 as are the clap, cowbell, rim shot and toms. It's really great that an analog 808 can be had without costing as much as a decent car!"

"Really fun and underrated sequencer. Very playable, has a bunch of Elektron and Mutable Instruments features built in. Works perfect -- the only item of note is that the led indicator for incoming midi doesn't work. Midi input works fine."

"The German-made Hartmann Neuron is a polyphonic synthesizer that broke new ground using a new form of synthesis and sound-modeling they say was based on technology found in neural networks. What the Neuron actually does is it analyzes audio files (samples) and creates digital computer models of these sounds which can then be re-synthesized and processed using the extensive amount of on-board data-wheels and joysticks with control of more 'musical' sonic aspects such as instrument shape, size and acoustic behavior. The joysticks allow for real-time tweaking of up to three parameters at once - 3D modeling in a true 5.1 surround sound environment."

Minimal Ambient w/ GAME BOY & reface DX | Small drops 2025-08-02 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A track for YAMAHA reface DX and Game Boy (LSDj)—lo-fi pads under shimmering chiptune sequences.

The reface DX plays a synth pad routed through ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY (shimmer reverb + filter) and ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MK II (tape coloration). The harmony is triggered from Ableton.

The Game Boy sequence is programmed in LSDj; its output runs into ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II for reverb, where micro-loops create intricate phrases. In the outro the signal is fed through Valhalla Frequency Echo for swirling feedback."
