NOT NAMM: electro percussion lab 3
YouTube via EA78751
"Erich tests out his TX606 after I fixed it.
The TX606 (modified Roland TR-606) is triggering Andromeda Mk-3 synth bass module. Andromeda Mk's can be configured to play from their own internal sequencer or respond to an external trigger, such as the TR-606's trigger outputs.
Andromeda Mk-3 is available thru ericarcher.net
The TX606 was on the workbench because it had developed a nasty habit of spontaneously exploding batteries. Not sure whats going on but it is on strict no-battery regimen now. only AC adapter. I modded the memory backup capacitor (C27) and now it holds patterns for 90 minutes with no batteries."

"JEN SM 2007 String Machine Synthesizer. Jen Electronics was a company that was aquired by Crumar with Eminent and eventually all of those companies got aquired by ARP.
This is the grand daddy of all string synths of 70's and 80's. Once you play it you will see how lush the sound is of the string ensemble.
Novation X-Station 61
via this auction"Audio and MIDI Solution
X-Station includes a fully featured audio interface with 2 phantom-powered, hi-quality converters, 2 Neutrik combined XLR and jack sockets, digital S/PDIF out, and much more. Dedicated headphone and monitoring connections with separate controls even allow you to work without a mixer. What's more, the onboard DSP effects processor provides instant, zero-latency multi-effects for monitoring or recording applications. Each audio channel has its own effects chain. You can even record audio with effects on one channel -- and use the synthesizer on the second at the same time! On top of that, X-Station has a built in MIDI Interface on board, allowing you to integrate external MIDI Gear as well.
Hardware SynthesizerA fully featured Novation-class hardware synthesizer also runs on the unique X-Station hardware thanks to its powerful DSP processor! The 3-oscillator virtual analog synthesizer is based on the renowned Novation KS-series and is 8-voice polyphonic. The extensive control interface provides instant access to all key parameters, making it ideal for live performances. And forget cables -- the synthesizer is fully integrated: The stereo audio output is sent straight through the USB cable onto the track in your sequencer via ASIO!
DSP Effects
X-Station provides 2 channels of onboard multi-effects! Up to 6 effects may be used simultaneously on each channel. The palette includes Chorus, Delay, Reverb Distortion, EQ and even a Compressor. The effects can be routed for monitoring only (like giving the singer some Reverb while recording) or for recording as well (e.g. recording a guitar with Chorus). Thanks to the unique design, synthesizer and effects for incoming audio can even be used at the same time!
Direct RemoteWant a first class remote control for sequencer functions? Need a hardware surface for your VST-Instruments Would you like to remote control other hardware from one surface? Here's your solution -- no matter if you want to remote control your Access Virus or Propellerhead Reason. X-Station offers a total of 55 assignable physical controls, including 3 Encoders, 16 pots, 9 sliders and 22 buttons. And that doesn't include the dedicated controls in the Audio section. A template can have up to a massive 150 virtual controls in total using the shift functions!
Tired of Wires
X-Station only needs one for everything -- the USB cable. That's it. Even power is provided via USB* or batteries whenever desired! So if you really want to make your recordings on the beach -- take your laptop, X-Station and enjoy the sun as inspiration. But don't say we didn't warn you about the sun-burn and the sand all over your gear!
* The USB bus must be able to supply the required amount of current in order to power the X-Station. Please verify that your computer provides enough power."
