8/31/25 (transpose) Roland CSQ-600 & System 100m & RE-301 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"We bought this Roland CSQ-600 “serviced” but there’s something wrong with it. Sometimes you go to record and it’s just silent, or the first few notes are silent. Anyways, we’ll get it fixed. Today I managed to record one sequence of notes into the CSQ-600 from the Roland System 100m 181 keyboard, then used the 181 to transpose the looping CSQ-600 sequence. This transposed sequence is modulating two 110 VCOs, and the 140 envelope is controlling the 110 VCAs. Offscreen I’m increasing the sustain and release, pretty much the whole time. The two 110s get mixed on the 130 mixer and the mono output is sent to the Roland RE-301 for tape echo, while the stereo reverb is preset 12 on the Alesis MIDIVERB II.

8/24/25 Roland SBX-80 clocks a pair of Pasco Scientific 9301 + Yamaha EM-100 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"8/24/25 Roland SBX-80 clocks a pair of Pasco Scientific 9301 dual function generators + Yamaha EM-100 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

The Roland SBX-80 is set to 80 bpm, time base 1. The time base output is boosted by the right Pasco Scientific 9301 microphone preamplifier, then patched to the modulation inputs on both 9301s. The spring reverb is the internal tank from the Yamaha EM-100 mixing the two 9301s. A stereo reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II creates the stereo echo."

6/24-27/25 .com Q173 Gate Math + Metasonix D-2000 + ZI 6550-99 + TR-606 + (more in description)

video upload by Cfpp0

"6/24-27/25 Synthesizers.com Q173 Gate Math + Metasonix D-2000 + Zerosum Inertia 6550-99 + Roland TR-606 + STG muSonics Vanilla Envelope + MFB dual ADSR + Intellijel LPG + Birdkids Unicorn Boom + Peavey 1300 + CorSynth C102 VC LFO + Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Ace Tone MP-4 + Oakley Modular ADSR/VCA + MXR 136 dual limiter

Sort of reminds me of 'Goodbye Horses' by Q Lazzarus. The Synthesizers.com Q173 Gate Math has been very underutilized, so it’s been moved, and this was the first time I used it on the Metasonix D-2000. ALM Pamela’s New Workout is driving the Q173, which is triggering the D-2000. The D-2000 mix output runs through the Intellijel Passive LPG, which is controlled by the MFB dual ADSR, which is driven by Pamela’s. A copy of the Intellijel LPG runs through the Peavey 1300 delay, panned left, with gates reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. The bass drum is from the Birdkids Unicorn Boom, triggered by Pamela’s, and limited by the MXR 136. The high pitched 16th note claves that sound like crickets are from the DSP 808, modulated by the MFB dual ADSR. The snare is from the Roland TR-606, processed by the Ace Tone MP-4 spring reverb. The hi hat is also from the TR-606, processed by a reversed reverb from the MIDIVERB II. The synth line is the Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 audio out through two Zerosum Inertia 6550-99 oscillators through the STG muSonics Vanilla Envelope and the Oakley ADSR/VCA, with additional modulation from the CorSynth C102 VC LFO."

6/16/25 Roland (RYK, E-licktronic) System 100m + Peavey 1300 + DeltaLab Effectron II + MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"Haven’t been using the E-licktronic 118a 808 bass drum and snare drum clone lately, so this was a chopping-block patch. We’re going to keep the 118a module in the end, as it’s still the closest thing to a Roland TR-808 around here. This System 100m patch is based around two RYK Modular 185 sequencers. The right 185 is clocked by the left 185’s gate output. The 118a snare is being triggered by that same gate pattern and the snare audio output is running through the DeltaLab Effectron II delay, feedback maxed, panned left. Both 110 VCOs are controlled by two RYK 185 sequencers, and both VCOs pass through the right 110 VCF into the right 110 VCA into the Peavey 1300 delay with plenty of feedback, panned center. The 150 and 140 LFOs are on the 110 filters and modulating the 118a accent in and decay CV. Some reverb (preset 23) from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."

6/14/25 (abhorrent) Roland System 100m + Metasonix R-54 + Zerosum Inertia Horripilation + (…)

video upload by Cfpp0

This is the first post to feature the Zerosum Inertia Horripilation.

"6/14/25 (abhorrent) Roland System 100m + Metasonix R-54 + Zerosum Inertia Horripilation + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

Some sludgy Sample & Hold. Pamela’s New Workout clocks the Roland System 100m 150 module’s S&H, which sends its clock out to the 140 envelope and its S&H out to both 110 VCOs, both 110 VCFs. The 140 envelope controls both 110 VCAs. The 150 LFO and the 140 LFO also modulate the VCFs on the two 110 modules. The upper 110 runs through the Zerosum Inertia Horripilation module, which is also modulated by the 150 S&H. The lower 110 runs through the Metasonix R-54, modulated by the 150 S&H signal. The R-54 runs through the Peavey 1300 and is panned center. The Horripilation signal is panned a bit left. Both signals receive some room reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."

6/10/25 ThinkGeek Bliptronic 5000 + Metasonix Penile Amputator + CRS Tube Reverb + MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"6/10/25 ThinkGeek Bliptronic 5000 + Metasonix Penile Amputator + CRS Tube Reverb + Alesis MIDIVERB II

Someone was selling some ThinkGeek Bliptronic 5000 sequencer / synthesizers so we picked one up just to check it out. It sounds like a toy, but the interface is fun. It’s polyphonic, but this was just a first simple test. You can chain them together apparently. It sounded a little better through the Metasonix Penile Amputator into the CRS Tube Reverb for mono spring reverb and then a wash of reverb from the MIDIVERB II."

6/4/25 ElectroComp EML 400/401 + Roland TR-909 + General Radio 1654-A + Alesis MIDIVERB II

video upload by Cfpp0

"6/4/25 ElectroComp EML 400/401 + Roland TR-909 + General Radio 1564-A + Alesis MIDIVERB II

The bass pulses are the Roland TR-909 low tom through the General Radio 1564-A, with reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. The TR-909 trigger out is driving the ElectroComp EML 400 sequencer. I recorded two takes of the EML 400 sequencing the 401 (with and with reverb), but ended up stacking them both."

5/31-6/3/25 multitrack test of Roland TR-909 internal clock

video upload by Cfpp0

"5/31-6/3/25 Roland TR-909 + General Radio 1564-A + ElectroComp EML 200 + Ace Tone MP-4 + DeltaLab Effectron II + Peavey DDL-3 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

This video started out as a quick test of a black General Radio 1564-A Sound and Vibration Analyzer, with the 1564-A processing the Roland TR-909 low tom. The 1564-A is kind of crusty, but it works. Then that video prompted a test to see if the Roland TR-909 internal clock is solid. It is very solid; there are about five different takes layered in this video, and they’re all using the 909 internal clock. The kick, clap, rim shot, hats, ride, low tom and high tom are all used, with the low tom getting either all pass processed or 1/3 octave processed. The rim shot also gets processed towards the end. And the high wood block sound is the 1564-A getting pinged by the 909 trigger output (which is set by a rim shot pattern). The clap and the high tom are processed by the Ace Tone MP-4 preamps and spring reverb. The Alesis MIDIVERB II is used heavily for reverbs, including some absurd reversed delays. The Peavey DDL-3 and the DeltaLab Effectron II are used for delays throughout the video. The drones are two ElectroComp EML 200 synthesizers."
