808 DAY DELUGE! 100% TR808 Sounds make a song. IDM / HOUSE z9

Published on Aug 9, 2018 VJ FRANZ K

"The song is 'Jingle Jangle', from my 2001 album, on 8/08 2018, I remade it using the Deluge. This song uses the 808 Cowbell sound with different pitches as the synth notes! Other various sounds ( Such as Linn Drum ) were in the original, but for this day, I remade it ONLY with 808 samples - even the "desert wind" sound was the cymbal noise being filtered!
If you're good enough with a sampler, any small collection of samples should be enough to make something interesting!
Challenge Yourself!"

808 day: Norns/Foulplay, Digitakt & MB303

Published on Aug 8, 2018 junklight

"One of those days were I had an idea and literally only 20 minutes to do anything about it in.

My two favourite drum machines paying tribute to the wicked 808 - the soundtrack to so much _pleasure_ in my life!

It's a testament to how immediate these two rhythm makers are that I could make this so quickly. If I'd had more time I'd have added some Eurorack lines as well. Oh well - perhaps another day.........."

Published on Aug 8, 2018 gattobus

"I've always loved the sharpness of the JX-3P DCOs and, at the same time, the smoothness of its filter. Add the BBD Chorus and you can get one of the warmest and soft pad sounds ever heard.
I love it!!!"

"The Summer of SYSTEM-8 is heating up with the recently added v.1.20 FM OSC and New Filters. But we haven’t stopped yet – here comes v.1.30!

The long-awaited third polyphonic PLUG-OUT for SYSTEM-8 is here... the JX-3P Programmable Preset Polyphonic Synthesizer. Like the JUNO-106, The JX-3P has a classic Roland DCO polyphonic architecture, reimagined with the newest ACB technology.
