Sequencer Development (Last Stage)

YouTube via nathanielscott
"So, I have about got the kicks worked out of my first sequencer. Everything works from the start, stop, step push buttons, to the Portamento control, though the portamento is a bit glichey (I need to research way to build that bit with more control).

The video shows some toy keyboards that I hacked to gain gate control over the onboard sequencers. The Casio SK-1 may not really be a total toy but the little grey Lonestar keyboard totally is. I paid three bucks for it at a thrift shop a couple of weeks ago.

I still need to build a better VCO. I have done very little research in this area and I feel that a good VCO would go a long way to a better performance feel, thereby giving better user experience in playing music. (just a thought)

The last bit of the video has music recorded with the sequencer but the VCO is run through a large amp and miked, and also DIed, so are the other keyboards wich include my Poly-61 and Crumar Performer."

"Yesterday I was working on the mix for the track Apple (weird working title but there you go..) The artist is a very talented guy from Poland called Antkowiak and we have recorded a full album that will hopefully be released this spring. A great blend between odd sounds and great songs.

This little snippet was shot at the Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. If you are curious about the studio please visit www.roth-handle.nu for more info, booking et.c"

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Roland JX-8P Analog Synthesizer + Programmer PG-800
(demo of various filter and envelope settings, oscillator-sync, crossmodulation, VCF and DCO modulation and more); The JX-8P is triggered by the MFB Step64 step sequencer and sync with the Roland TR-707

This video demo is not a musical statement, only demonstration of the sound possibilities of the instrument."

Circuit Bent Speak and Spell + MIDI - SPEAKING BETA 2

YouTube via radial77. Part 1 here
"Once again being triggered with Live. I threw this one together to provide a rough second example. For a slightly better shot of the setup, see my first one"
The rhythm kind of reminds me of Ultravox's Alles Klar mixed with The Thin Wall.
Update: up for auction here.

Vermona Perfourmer + TB-303 (video 2)

YouTube via DeathByDinSync. video 1 here
"Video 2 of the Perfourmer / TB-303 combo...
In this video, I have Synth 2 being controlled by CV/Gate from my TB-303 (out of frame). Synth 1, 3 & 4 are being controlled via MIDI, on the different channels, by Ableton Live. Synth 3 & 4 are using melodic oscillators, where Synth 1 is using white noise.

The TB-303's actual audio is brought in later, through my mixer... (around the 4:55 time)

Bass drum is from a TR-606 sample in Ableton
