"Here it is, my first night with the Q119 Synthesizers.com sequencer. The music is just to show the sequencer and the audio is from a camcorder, so don't expect too much. the other synth is an ARP odyssey and it is doing a melody taken from Philip Glass, The Hours, 2002. Enjoy "

DIY Analog Synth and Rhythm Sequencer MK3

"My newest synth.

Dual, 2 part, oscillators with hard sync and independent pattern generators for Pitch, PWM and Gating.

Just 1 quick routine here. The synth's clock is synced to Logic via an Audio Gate Input. I'm messing around with the PWM pattern and the balance between OSC1 and OSC 2's PWM."

Roland Jupiter 8 acting strangely

YouTube via zibbybone
"I just received this JP-8 I purchased from a seller that stated "ALL ORIGINAL LOW HOURS. WORKS GREAT, LAST OWNER USED IT FOR ONES AND TWOS." First, it pwoers up and 4 of 8 voices play. Both Solo and Unison mode produce noise. Arpeggiator does not work. Later, the synth just wigs out. Any Jupe 8 owners out there ever experience this or have any input? Sorry, the audio is a bit overdriven. "

Blade Runner on the Alesis Fusion (cover)

YouTube via FailedMuso. Follow-up to this post.
"Using a patch created by a guy who goes under the name of Electrique at the Fusion Club (http://fusioneer.proboards102.com/index ), here is the melody line from the Main Titles of Blade Runner by Vangelis. I made this as a contrast to my other brief demo of the same tune using Arturia's CS-80V."

Roland TR-808 and Jazz Chorus JC-120

via swissdoc:

"I recorded some examples of the Roland Jazz Chorus driven by a TR808 pattern.

This one is recorded in mono with a Sony F-VS7 Dynamic Microphone, I had to do some noise reduction to get rid of the prominent hum:




This one is recorded in mono with a Monacor ECM-100 Electret Condensor Microphone:




The dry signal is recorded directly from the TR808.

I then allways tweak the settings of the amp.

Volume is set to very low value, max 1 out of 10. Otherwise the house would explode.

The distortion of the amp is not the best one on this planet. They should have labeled it destruction or shredder :-)"
