MATRIXSYNTH

4 vids on triggering synths live with drumkits

via Stuff Linear/Amsterdam

"I have found some nice examples of the incorporation of synths and drumming.
In all the videos the drums trigger envelopes and/or drive the clock.
Mostly i notice people using the very versatile Nord Modulars for this kind of stuff.

This one is all analogue with Juno and Doepfer, by Analogueeak (he has several vids up, check m out)

This one is starring Andre Duracell playing the BubbleBobble Theme. He allso has several vids up. I chose this one because you see a bit of gear.
He uses the Nord G2 Engine and a laptop.

ARP Sequencer 1611

via this auction
"Lots of features make it stand out against other analog sequencers. For example the random function is interesting, it is able to skip steps(!), there are 3 gate busses(!), it can run at audio speed for use as a wave shaper(!), run as 1x16 steps or 2x8 steps, etc."

Moog 1150 Ribbon Controller

via this auction

"Original Moog Ribbon Controller. This fits nicely on your Minimoog (same width, there is a youtube video where you can see it on the mini above the keyboard). As you can see on the instruction sheet there are 2 modes: Mini and Sonic Six. It can probably be used for other synths too. It is powered by the Moog accessory output on the synth. Outputs for Pitch, S-trig and Aux control."

Korg MS-03 Pitch to CV & Ring Modulator

via this auction

"One of the rarer Signal processing boxes from the Korg MS-range. If you have MS-20, MS-10, MS-50, SQ-10 etc. then this would fit nicely. It can also be used in other setups as it features both V?Hz as wel as V/Oct outputs! Hook up your guitar or flute and play your synth with it... This one has been modified and now also has an internal ring modulator with signal mixer on the front."

Roland JSQ-60 Sequencer for Juno-60 Jupiter-8

via this auction

"The JSQ-60 is a polyphonic sequencer connectable with DCB synthesizers such as the JUNO-60 or the JUPITER-8.
Due to its large memory capacity of approximately 2,000 notes, the JSQ-60 can memorize a complete musical composition . The JSQ-60 can also memorize changes in the patch memory of the JUNO-60. The JSQ-60 is capable of both real-time and single-step loading. In the real-time mode, all performances played by the keyboard are loaded. And in the single step mode, the pitch of each note is loaded in each step. While listening to previously loaded per formances, you can overdub up to three times in real time. Shifting the JUNO-60's patch memory and starting/stopping the JSQ-60 can be controlled by a DP-2 pedal switch. A cassette interface is provided for limitless data storage. Two Sync out jacks are provided to sync with devices such as the TR-606 DRUMATIX or TB-303 BASS LINE."
