Roland Jupiter-4 pt.2
4-Voice Analog Synthesizer from the year 1978.

The JP-4 sound is very warm and organic. The 4 VCO`s are always a bit out of tune but this is the typical JP-4 sound. Not compared to the bigger JP-6 or JP-8. For me the best sounded Jupiter.

the demo shows some sound settings and the arpeggiator

dsi mopho demo #5 & elektron machinedrum

YouTube via jakomaron — May 26, 2010 — "Mopho multi preset technic. (Shaolin technic)

The Elektron Machinedrum drives the Mopho (I use a mid machine with different pgm change on each note) and it play the drums too (TR606 samples). There's no computer in the party.

The big muff is on the mopho and the machinedrum.

I swap from classic to extended mode on the machinedrum :

- in extended mode it play the midi notes and the pgm change for the mophos.

- in classic mode the parameters setting is lost, no more midi pgm change is transmited to the mopho.

I even mess with the mophos preset during the play.
I use some echoes of the boss RE-20 (space echo).
And I use some reverb echoes of the yamaha 01v.

Peace love unity and have it fun.

Unatronics - The Seeq-it and Oscillotron

Seeq-it from Michael Una on Vimeo.

"Seeq-it is a square wave synthesizer with a built-in stepped sequencer. There are 8 steps to the sequence, and each step can be set to a different pitch or turned off. LEDs on the front panel indicate the position and speed of the sequence as it moves in a circle. A 2nd low-frequency oscillator can be used to modulate the output pitch, resulting in additional tones and rhythms. A built-in resonant lowpass filter allows for fat frequency sweeps and tone control.

Seeq-it's sound is reminiscent of both 8-bit video games and classic techno sequencers. The pitch output ranges from very high to very low, earth-shaking bass frequencies.

There is a Control Voltage input/output on the back for an external clock, to aid you in synchronizing Seeq-it to other drum machines and sequencers. An Audio modulation input allows you to plug in a Beep-it or other hot-signal source for interesting frequency-modulation effects. One 1/4" output allows Seeq-it to connect to external amplifiers, effects, and recording devices.

The Oscillotron from Michael Una on Vimeo.

"The Oscillotron is a touch-sensitive device that emits several different sounds, crafted in a Steampunk-type style. Housed in a nice-smelling finished wood cigar box, the Oscillotron features brass hardware and a large color-changing lens. It emits a granulated siren tone that can be adjusted from very low bass to very high frequencies. A "random" mode can be activated that scrambles the sample playback, resulting in a retro "computing" type sound. Both modes can be manipulated by touching the brass knobs with your hands or a conductive object, resulting in touch-responsive wild pitch bends.

Each Oscillotron is unique and housed in a slightly different case, but the capabilities and sounds remain the same. A 1/4" output jack allows connection to external amplifiers, effects, and recording devices.

Electric Independence: Growing

"On the new episode of Electric Independence, we head into Growing's practice space to look at their equipment and get the story behind their transformation from effects-heavy drone into the complex, synapse-shifting sound they create today. Oh yeah, they also added a third member (and vocals, kind of) and just released a new album entitled 'PUMPS!' They don't front on their musical prowess. "We couldn't play anything else. This is what we play." How they play "this" is what this episode is all about.

There's also a joint Growing and Korg contest to win a Kaossilator. Enter here to win:
