FARFISA POLYCHROME - vintage synthesizer / string machine HQ sound demo

YouTube via AnalogAudio1

"This video shows the Farfisa Polychrome played with a Roland DEP-5 FX processor for delay effects.

The Farfisa Polychrome from 1979 is one of the rarest Farfisa keyboards. It is a flexible string synthesizer / string ensemble with a very characterful, musical sound.

It has a PERCUSSIVE section, a STRING section, a ENSEMBLE section and a VOCAL CHORUS section. The most sections have VCF cutoff / resonance controls. It has a great phaser (with SPEED, EMPHASIS and TREMOLO controls), a noise generator, single outputs, an external input jack (for external signals, which can be treated with the Polychrome's chorus and phaser) and a lot more... It even has aftertouch! And it's fully polyphonic, too..."

How to program a Roland TB 303 and TR 909

YouTube via klausito1970
"Another howto, this time for a Roland TB-303 Bassline and a TR-909 Rhythm Composer. For the 303 I used the pattern from Fatboy Slim's song: "Everybody needs a 303". The 909 pattern is a quite simple Kick, Snare and Hihat pattern.
Future Retro Mobius sequencer is master midi clock and the 303/909 follow as slaves. The 303 is connected via a Doepfer MSY2 converter.
Thanks for watching and have fun with your Roland stuff."
