MATRIXSYNTH

Roland GR-100 Guitar Synthesizer

"Ravebox features those classic rave sounds from back in the day.

It's so simple to use, just mix the different tunes, breaks, and beats, drop a fat bassline and hit the samples on the keyboard to make your own banging rave anthem.

You can also use Ravebox while songs are playing on your iPod to create your own mix!

Works best with headphones or plug it into your stereo and start raving now!

***Please note***

Make sure you're not in vibrate mode or the keyboard won't work.
Ravebox is compatible with iPhone/iPod touch iOS4 (it can be slow on 1st generation iPhone because of older processor)."

"This short piece is on it's way to becoming something; I'm going to add samples and make a crisp recording with it. The Moog is being run through no effects - pure synth sound. Sorry about he sound quality."

Free Roland TR-707 Sample Pack

via dyLAB, available on Acid Box Blues

"I have resampled my TR-707 and this time it is quite an extensive lot
of samples. These have been recorded at 24 bit 48khz. Each of the drum sounds were sampled as a loop at 30BPM, and as one hits without accent, with accent one and with accent two on. There is also snare loops with varying flam settings. There is also bass drum loops with various shuffle settings for groove extraction. 71 files of TR-707 goodness in all"

A musical analysis of Oxygene 2, 4 & 6 - Jean Michel Jarre - Part 1 : Rythmics, by Thierry Lebon

YouTube via tlnet37 | November 25, 2010 | 0 likes, 0 dislikes

"An musical analyze of Oxygene, track after track, to make a cover with 95% pure analog and 5% digital.

In this first part, I try to reproduce the rythm played in the original part 2 of JMJ's Oxygene, with the Korg MiniPops 7 ; here, I used a standalone free application called Rythmus by ElektroStudio.

Here, you can adjust the volume of each sounds, the pan, the tune, the volume and the global tempo ; 2 presets are used simultaneously : Beguin and Slow Rock.

It is very near from the original, isn't it ?

The second part will show you how to make all noises with Roland SH-101, Roland Juno-6, Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy and Small Stone Phase Shifter.

See you soon ! cheers from Thierry"
