Analog Drum 'n Bass

Analog Drum 'n Bass from K X on Vimeo.

"This is my imagining of what circa '98 era minimal tech step drum 'n bass may have sounded like had it been invented before modern samplers and digital synths / fx.

All the sound is being generated live, coming straight from the main mixer in the middle, with no multitracking. Sequenced by 3 vintage hardware sequencers, the Yamaha QX-1, Roland MC-4 and Roland MC-8 locked together by tape-sync.

List of the main gear used :

Sequencers : Roland MC-8, Roland MC-4, Yamaha QX-1

Modulars : Roland System 100 (Drums), Moog series 900 (pads), Roland System 700 (Basses), Arp 2500 system, Buchla 100 series.

Other Synths : Korg MS-20, Roland System 100 standalone synth.

FX : Roland Space Echo RE-501 (tape delay, chorus, spring reverb), Roland DC-30 (analog chorus-echo), Roland Dimension-D Analog Chorus.

Mixer : Tascam M308b"

Update: some additional info:

"If you're interested, the system 100 is doing all the drums, the moog is doing the atmospheric pad chords (as heard from the very beginning), the ARP is doing the stabs which are heard from very near the beginning, the system 700 is doing both the deep sub bass growls, and also the big ominous stabs in the middle build-up section (the MS-20 is just acting as a distortion unit for those), the system 100 standalone synth is doing the reese sound (as heard in the last bar before the drop), and the Buchla is doing all the main theme sounds which you can see if you look closely at the Buchla sequencer's timing lights during the main part.
The MC-4 is sequencing the drums and the reese, the MC-8 is sequencing the Moog and 700, and the QX-1 is sequencing the Buchla and Arp.

The whole project took almost 2 weeks, but nearly half of that was spent getting all the gear set up, synced up, talking to eachother nicely etc. Each day quite a bit of time was spent re-tweaking the sounds after the synths cooled down overnight, also the MC-4 program takes about 15 minutes just to load, (30 minutes to save including verify) and on top of that, the MC-8 refused to save at all, so I had to organise it so I could do all of the MC-8 programming and recording in one day. Next time it should take less time, since now I've got the setup all figured out."

Defective Records MC-4 Hack Now Available

"what is it:
a software application that lets you program your Roland MC-4 sequencer using your computer!
what are its features:
• convert a MIDI file to an MC-4 sequence
• edit MC-4 sequences on your computer, not on your MC-4's little screen & keypad
• easily copy patterns between the MC-4's four channels
• preview MC-4 sequences with built in General MIDI synth"

Roland MC-4 Hack: Work In Progress

YouTube Uploaded by dnigrin on Aug 18, 2011

"Following on the footsteps of "MC-202 Hack", this is early stage work on Defective Records Software's "MC-4 Hack" application, for the Roland MC-4 sequencer. Will allow you to convert a MIDI file into the audio format required to load a sequence into the MC-4. Can extract up to 4 MIDI channels of data, and map them to the MC-4's 4 channels.

For all those who have ever struggled with programming the MC-4's sequencer, imagine being able to have it crank out Fur Elise in just a few seconds... :-)

The MC-4 is sitting on an Analogue Solutions Colossus no less. Apparently the video is of Jesper Kouthoofd, CEO of Teenage Engineering.

dnigrin is the man behind Defective Records, who brought us the Fauxmo Ensoniq Fizmo editor / librarian, Cyclic sequencer in collaboration with Mutable Instruments, the M-185 software sequencer, and Klee software sequencer. You can find them all in various posts here.

"Another video demonstrating loading songs from the SD card (which was one of the main reasons for attempting this project). Apologies for the poor quality but at least you get a commentary this time! :)"

via Nic Ho Chee on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"Don't know if people have been looking at this, PJ-X3 made his own MC-4 sequencer which saves to memory card instead of tape. I saw a more recent version of this which has a case, Chinese fabb'd board and looks a bit like what would happen if Nord made the MC-4 ."

Note this is the first PJ-X3 post.

"MC-4 Hack" for the Roland MC-4 Sequencer?

Defective Records is contemplating an MC-4 Hack similar to the MC-202 Hack (see this post). If you are interested leave a comment here or on Defective Records here.

"Over the last 14 years that I've had MC-202 Hack available in its various versions, I've repeatedly gotten requests to create an "MC-4 Hack" for the Roland MC-4 sequencer. It of course makes perfectly logical sense, as the sequencers in the two devices are very similar, and from roughly the same time period in Roland's history."

Note Defective Records also brought us the software Klee sequencer and M-185 software sequencer. See the new Defective Records label below for more.

Roland MC-8 MicroComposer Analog Sequencer

via this auction
"Before the MC-4, Roland released the MC-8 sequencer. They are a bit different: while the MC-4 has more memory and an interface which leverages software control a but more, the MC-8 has more outputs and some features which support analog modulars a bit more (to my opinion, anyway). They both have that bang on, rock solid timing which is still missing from MIDI and so they are a critical component to certain old school vibes. This particular model of sequencer is behind many classic electronic tracks, perhaps best known as a preferred "axe" of Giorgio Moroder.

The top of the chassis was designed badly by Roland from an aesthetic perspective: un-primered medal painted with gray paint. As such, some of the paint has chipped away. This of course does not affect functionality, and a weekend spent with a screwdriver, sand paper, primer and paint could remedy this if you're restoration-minded.

Included also is the original manual - very hard to find.

The shipping cost is a bit higher than expected because it is built like a *tank*. The MC-8 is VERY heavy, and I intend to ship it and the interface module in separate boxes so that they do not interact in a bad way during shipping. ;-]

This auction includes:
- Roland MC-8 Sequencer
- Roland MC-8 Interface Module
- Roland MC-8 Interface Bus Cable
- Roland MC-8 Factor Manual (not a reprint!)"

Roland MC-4 Sequencer 4-Channel CV Gate Sequencer

via this auction
"This MC-4 was state-of-the-art when it came out and certainly remains a unique, rare piece of equipment today, thanks to its unique calculator style interface. Use this with your vintage Moog, ARP, Oberheim, Roland, Sequential Circuits and other vintage analog synths. This Roland MC-4 is powerful enough to sequence FOUR SYNTHS AT ONCE (use 1 channel for each monophonic part) or, you can use this unit with a modular synth and patch the CVs and gates to anything you want.

Sequences up to 4 analog synths simultaneously!

4 channels of: CV1, CV2, Gate, MPX

External CV and gate in
Tempo CV in
External sync in and out (1/8")
Calculator style keypad - enter your notes and step times with numbers
Cycle - loop function
Din sync in/out - sync it to your TB-303, TR-606, CR-8000,
TR-808, TR-707, MIDI to DIN converter, etc.

CMT tape sync in/out
Copy, insert, delete, replace

MC-4 Electro Jam

video by ALM TV

"The Roland MC-4 was an early microprocessor based sequencer released by Roland in 1981.

In this patch Pam is synced via Din Sync to the Roland MC-4 clock. Pam is then used to sequence a drum pattern using mainly the Squid Salmple (and Akemies Taiko).

The MC-4 CV outputs are used to provide melody and some modulation to 3 MCO's."

Roland MC-4: The 1981 Music Computer

video upload by Alex Ball

"A look at the Roland MicroComposer / MC-4 from 1981.

In 1977 Roland introduced the first ever microprocessor controlled digital sequencer, which was the MC-8 designed by Ralph Dyck. The MC-4 was the successor and was one of Roland's few CV/Gate digital sequencers before they moved over to MIDI shortly after.

Both when it was new and many years after it was seemingly obsolete, numerous artists swore by it and they're now sought after. In the video we explore why.

With thanks to Pea Hicks for the MC-8 footage and images.

Both Din Sync cables are getting the same VCO clock signals in this test. Each of the 4 steps running on the CTL1 can be set "off", or turned up to have a 5v signal. This gives various patterns to each of the two machines for starting and stopping them."
