"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Roland JD-800 Digital Synthesizer (1991)
The pure sound of the JD-800. No external fx or eq added.
The JD-800 is one of my favorite digital synths ever. For me the last real big synth from Roland."

Techno/Electro..... Dulcimer!

YouTube via TheSynthFreq
"Hi! This is an experimental composition written by TSF and MsM6. My sister Crystal (MsM6) is jammin' out on the Dulcimer. It is an 11/12 hammered Dulcimer. I am playing the Roland D-50 and the Alpha Juno-1 bass patch. The Korg EMX-1 is running a preset drum pattern that has been edited. This pattern was written by Korg.
This was a fun, experimental composition. Just improvised like always.
Please enjoy!
:) TSF"

Ableton Live Looper effect with the Novation Lauchpad and Live V-drums- Progtronica "Looppool"

Ableton Live Looper effect with the Novation Lauchpad and Live V-drums- Progtronica "Looppool" from Nigel Sifantus on Vimeo.

"This is a quick Progtronica experiment with the cool looper effect in the new version of Ableton Live 8. I'm using the Novation Launchpad to control the looper and layering live drums at 190 bpm. There is also gratuitous use of the Beat-repeat effect here too. Drum n' Bass in yo face. Visit nigelsifantus.com for more information on Progtronica."
