"The SR-909 is an exact replica of the classic Roland TR-909. It comes as a complete kit with enclosure, bare boards and all electronics and rare components included. The boards are based exactly on the original schematics and the machine is running the original V4 firmware.

The build itself was quite a ride, but the guys from Steda Electronics were very helpful!"

Incredible Utility Module - AS Synths Modulation Tools!

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

Note this is the first post to feature AS Synths.

"Exploring the AS Synths 'Modulation Tools' module!
This module is awesome for adding more movement and interest to your patches!
In this video, I'm showing many different ways you can use it to create a lot of different sounds.
It gets extremely powerful when you start combining these techniques together in the same patch!

Antonus Step Brother DIY - Test Drive w/ A2600, SR-909 and Fractal VP4

video upload by Tumeni Knobs

"It took a couple of months, spending a few hours on weekends, but I got it done! And it's very cool. This demo is pretty rough, but highlights a bunch of the key features of the Step Brother and the "performability" it offers.

See my full build log here: https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/view...

In this setup, the Steda SR-909 is sending midi clock to the Step Brother and the VP4 to keep them in sync. Step Brother is configured to run 2x8 step sequences on channels A and B. Channel A quantized CV output is sent to the 2600 mult and then routed to the CV inputs of oscillators 1 and 2. Channel B quantized CV output is sent to the CV input of oscillator 3.

Step Brother Gate Bus 1 is routed to the 2600 main gate input and triggering the 2600's ADSR envelope. SB Gate Bus 2 is triggering the envelope on the Step Brother and audio out of Osc 3 on the 2600 is routed to one of the VCAs on the Step Brother which is controlled by the Step Brother's envelope. That is then routed back to the 2600's mixer.

Audio out of the 2600 is routed to the VP4, and then routed to the ALA Bartender along with the audio of the SR-909. Output from the Bartender is sent to the iRig Pro and recorded on iPhone with the video.

Cheers!"

BlueARP DM in the studio p.1: driving SR-909 drum machine

video upload by graywolf2004ru

"In the studio with my partner STEDA Electronics, who makes SR-909 drum machine kits, TR-909 replicas: https://diystudiotoys.com/products/st...

BlueARP DM sequences drums, using SR-909 as a sound module and using 'trigger probability' settings, so there is a slight touch of randomness in this rhythm, which is impossible to do with 909's own sequencer.

Enjoy. BlueARP DM is still available from the same store https://diystudiotoys.com/products/om...
