Roland MKS-100 | The first Roland sampler module (and very few knows about it)

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Roland MKS-100 from 1986. The Module version of the S-10 with a few minor differences, among them the Midi Mono mode. Sampling time and memory is the same on the S-10, MKS-100 and S-220 (the third and last sampling module in this early series)
Four memory slots (ABCD) with a total sampling time of 4,4 seconds at 30Khz. (8,8 sec @ 15Khz). The S-10, MKS-100 and S-220 all used the Quick Disk (QD) system to load and save sounds.

Check out my Roland S-10, MKS-100,S-220 sample library here: • Roland S-10 Sample Pack | Download now! [video below]

Big thanks to Anders Enger Jensen for lending me the MKS-100 for this video.

Some references say the MKS-100 is from 1987, but Roland made these in 1986 through to the end of the 80s."

Roland S-10 Sample Pack | Download now!
video upload by Espen Kraft

"A brand new sample pack for the Roland S-10, MKS-100 and S-220.
51 different samples taken from my vintage collection of synths and drum machines.
These are QD image files so you have to have a QD floppy emulator installed in your S-10 to use these.
Price is $15USD or €15Euros if you prefer that currency. Send me an email if you're interested. I only sell these through email. You'll find my email in the "about" here on my channel.
All the sounds heard in the demo video are coming from this pack. External reverb is on some of the samples in the video.

I think the Roland 12-bit S-samplers from the 80s has a special sound to them. If you have a S-10/MKS-100/S-220 and you just want some new cool sounds for it then this pack might be for you. These sounds can not be found anywhere else. They're all made by me one way or the other."

Making a sawtooth and sine from a triangle wave - converting waves the opposite way as usual .

video upload by organfairy

"I switch it on at 4:35 and run it with a sequencer at 5:25.

After having made the 'classical' sine wave generator • Analog sine wave generator [video below] and the 'sort of digital' sine wave generator • Synthesizing waveforms with a frequency di... [posted here] a couple of months ago, I thought I should do a sine wave the third way - if not for other reasons it could be to say that I have done a sine wave trilogy: Start with a triangle and convert it to a sine wave.
This is a method that was often used commercially. If a function generator has both triangle and sine it is often made this way, and the XR2206 component that is often found on cheap tone generator kits works this way internally. I am not sure about the EMS VCS3 but I have a suspecion that OSCILLATOR 1 is also based on this idea as it can make saw and sine at the same time.
I do start with making a sawtooth wave though. I have not seen this method used before, but I doubt that I am the first to have done it.

The music is sort of a mood composition where I focused more on the mood and the sound construction than the melody, which is rather unusual for me as I consider myself a melody focused music tinkerer. Whatever it is I made it on my Roland D-20."

Analog sine wave generator

video upload by organfairy

"I test run it at 4:15

After making that "somewhere in the swampy wasteland between analog and digital sine wave generator" last week, I decided to try and make a classical analog sine wave generator - just for the fun of it.
Sine wave generators are sort of an interesting thing: They are basically just an amplifier connected back to front through a filter, but the amplifier needs to be regulated in some way, otherwise the sinewave will get distorted to a point where it is often more a square wave.
This sine wave generator is not controllable from a keyboard like the other one I made, so it is more for modulation purposes or maybe if I one day take up the obscure art of musique concrete.

The musique ridicule that I play during the video is something I fumbled together playing my Korg Rhythm 55, Elka X-1000, and Roland D-20."

Dub Techno / Dub Ambient liveset - Home Concert 78

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"For the first Home Concert of 2026 I recorded a liveset with Dub Ambient and Dub Techno music. The set starts with three Dub Ambient tracks in the 80bpm range. Followed by two faster Dub Techno tracks featuring sounds from the Super-6 and Oberheim OB6. The sets closes with a slower Dub Techno track with washy chords from the Roland Juno 60. The music of this set is exclusively available here on Youtube until I finish the productions and can upload the music to Bandcamp and the streaming services.

All music was created by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were involved in the production of the music and artwork.

"Just thought I would try a little something fun...the title says it all. 0 to 80's in 80 seconds. Enjoy. Certified AI free and no traces of softsynths!

Drums - Oberheim DX Stretch, Korg DDD-1 - just a snare on 2 and 4 with mostly just the reverb return from a Roland SDE-330 non-lin setting, Roland TR8S - some perc and a ghost snare from the 707 kit.

Oberheim OB-8

Korg DW-8000

Bass - Roland D-50 patch also triggering a Roland JX8P and Korg Polysix to fatten and double it

Ensoniq ESQ - A nice PPG Wave patch from a sound cartridge I have for it.

Sequential Rev 2 also triggering a bell patch on the Yamaha TG33

Yamaha DX7iiD - nice dual patch one a rhodes type and the other a tine from the many banks on the Hypersynth card to finish it off and play out on."

Matt Barber - 80's in 80 seconds - Episode 2

video upload by Matt Barber - Sounds from The Sandbox

"80's in 80 Seconds Episode 2 has landed! The first one was a bit fun so let's keep the theme going. This one starts off with a nice "groove" and builds with some synths spanning the decade. If you listen past the 80 seconds the Arp Odyssey briefly shows off its duo-phonic capabilities with a few 2 note chords that almost have a vocoder like effect with the phaser on it just after the 2 minute mark.
The following instruments were used and recorded as a 2 track with no editing or overdubs with each part being played into a pair of Arturia Keystep Pro sequencers. As always, AI free and made with real ingredients. Thanks for watching!

Oberheim DX Stretch - main drums
Korg DDD-1 - perc
Roland TR8-S - additional high hats, rim shot, crash
Berhinger - Model D - Bass
Roland Jupiter 4 - Arp
Korg PolySix - Synth Brass Pad 1
Roland Jupiter 6 - Synth layer 2
Yamaha DX7II - Bell 1
Roland D-50 - Bell 2
Arp Solina - Strings
Arp Odyssey Mkii 2810 - Lead"

Matt Barber - 80's in 80 seconds - Episode 3

video upload by Matt Barber - Sounds from The Sandbox

"80's in 80 seconds episode 3 is here to start of the New Year! I thought something "new" should be in 'order' after the busy holiday period. Several familiar sounds in this one that can most likely been dialed in on many synths of the era but this one builds with the hardware listed below. All natural...Certified AI and VST free. Thanks for listening!

Drums -
Korg DDD-1 to start with the first hi-hat
Oberhiem DX Stretch - Main kick, beat kick, snare, additional hi-hat, clap, and rim shot
Roland TR-8S - a little kick for attack, snare ghost notes, and high hat movement

Pad 1 - Oberheim OB-8

BASS - Berhinger Pro 1 and Poly D played with the arpeggio on on the Keystep Pro

Pad 2 - Roland D50 layered with Roland JX-8P and Korg DW8000

Bell - DX 7 ....of course it is!

ARP Chords - Roland Jupiter 4."

1/1/25 Roland TR-606 & RE-301 + Dytronics Cyclosonic Panner + Eventide H3000b

video upload by Cfpp0

"First video of 2026. We sold so much stuff in the past few years and shifted as much stuff around that some of the patch bays were in need of an audit. This video was a test of several different pieces of outboard gear that have been rewired to consolidate the bays, including the very rare Dytronics Cyclosonic Panner. It is a lot like the ADR Pan Scan, but with more options for movement, plus two inputs and four outputs. The Roland TR-606 is clocked by Pamela’s anew Workout at 140, and the TR-606 output is multiplied, with one copy going to the A input on the Cyclosonic Panner and the other copy going to the Roland RE-301 with the dry signal cancelled. The delayed RE-301 signal goes to the B input on the Cyclosonic Panner, with three of its outputs going to the Mackie Onyx 1640. Those signal are all panned differently, and sent to an aux running to the Eventide H3000B for some pitch shifting."

"Classic 70s analog drum machine, the very first programmable one. This particular unit is in excellent condition and was serviced: a new battery was fitted on battery holder. This unit DID NOT suffer from previous battery leakage. Unit is perfectly working and shows only minor scuff on the wood case. Overall in excellent cosmetic condition. It comes with the original box (check matching numbers). Box is in very used condition but makes for a collector item. It will be shipped doubled box. Unit is 230v."

ROLAND TR-1000 [02] // LØSTLVLS

video upload by LØSTLVLS

"Exploring the wonky lo-fi glitch-beat side of the TR-1000, inspired by Kona Triangle's Sing a Sapling into Existence album from 2009.

Back in 2014 I got into Teebs, Flying Lotus, Shlohmo, Shigeto and a bunch more, after being obsessed with Nujabes, Five Deez, Shing02, Fat Jon and a bunch of others. Something about dense, ducking textures with thick kicks and wonky percussion sets my soul alight.

The SP-404 was a 'founding piece' of my musical development - while the MPC 1000 was perfection, the SP was portable and performative in ways that perfectly complemented the MPC - I was lucky enough to see Teebs live performing with his two SP-404s and his set was awesome. If you remember the old Roland forums where Flying Lotus personally shared the 'FlyLo Technique' then you officially rock.

Anyway, enjoy!

FREE SYNTH: JE-8086 (Roland JP-8000 Emulator) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing JE-8086, a FREE software emulation of the Roland JP-8000 by 'The Usual Suspects', which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer!

'The Usual Suspects' is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the DSP chip from original historic hardware synthesizers, which, in this case, is the Toshiba TC170C140.

As is usual with The Usual Suspects releases, you’ll need to provide the original ROM, legally acquired, of course.

The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this one of the most faithful JP-8000 recreations currently available in software form.

More info here:
https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/je8086/

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds.

Roland MKS-80 :: Warm Pads

video upload by Harry van Mierloo

"The Roland MKS-80 isn't known as a typical analog pad machine like the JX-8P or the MKS-70, but still its VCOs are capable of creating some wonderful pads. I couldn't find many pad demos of the MKS-80 online, because most demos contain the powerful analog sounds that the Jupiter-series is so famous for. So I decided to record a few soft pads chords on the MKS-80 for the synth community. As its output is mono, I've added a bit of chorus and reverb from the SQ-5 to spice up the pads.

Played using the Moog Voyager as an expensive MIDI controller using its mod wheel to control the filter, but the fact that you hear polyphonic sounds and see a blinking green MIDI on the blurry MKS-80 in background is the ultimate evidence that you actually hear the MKS-80. ;-)

Enjoy, I hope you'll like it!"
