Kawai K3m synth realtime tweaking and 'Viscand 18' drumbox (DIY CR-78-clone)

YouTube via stereoping | October 02, 2010

"Sweet 2-hour-production with realtime tweaking of the Kawai K3-Synth through my DIY-hardwareprogrammer. It shows some of the K3ms features and sound capabilities.The programmer was made out of an old keyfax phatboy. I spent it a new brain which now is clever enough to send sysex-data which change the parameters of the k3 synth.
The colorcoded parameters on the front are selected through a triple-way-switch (backside, upper right) which also sets the color of the upper left bicolor-led to green, orange or red. No external FX, Fruity Loops project. Drums are from my DIY-CR78-Clone 'Viscand 18'."

Who's Afraid of Berlin (Fear your Machines Instead) LIVE 303/606 PA

YouTube via shagghie | October 02, 2010

"Right? Instead of moving to Berlin to find our inner techno, I humbly submit we need to move closer inside our machines first. Berlin, like Detroit, can lead you to the water. To the spice. But it cannot make you drink. It is a place I will visit soon, and to my friends there, i come humbly, eager to learn further, and with respect.
But to all those in search of your inner techno, fear your machines first and foremost. Berlin is the forest, but the machines are the beasts...and it is within them, that we can transcend space and time, oceans and valleys, and unite as one creed.
Tonight, I fear Roland...
This one is dedicated to Julian of dubdubdubDAWTthebeastDAWTcoDAWTuk for the love and care he's put into these instruments as their creator."

Happy Drum Machine Halloween

YouTube via Catabolicdj | October 01, 2010

"A little Halloween live jam on three drum machines. Make sure you turn off all the lights before listening :) Gear: Elektron Machinedrum UW and dual Sync-modded Boss DR-110's, one with a bass drum mod. Setup: Machinedrum generates sync and outputs it on one channel. A Y-adapter is used to split the sync signal to send to the DR-110's. DR-110's do not naturally sync to other machines, but I modified them to do so. Both DR-110's outputs are returned to the Machinedrum and added to its mix. If you listen in stereo (add fmt=32 to the end of the URL), you can hear the two separate DR-110's more clearly. All drum sounds from the DR-110's, everything else from the Machinedrum. The "guitar" sound on the Machinedrum is amplitude modulation of a high-hat sound. It is difficult to control because it generates weird harmonics, but it sounds fairly guitar-like for being a high-hat. Video is HD viewable."
