Oberheim Strummer demo

YouTube Uploaded by canmarcvancouver on Dec 3, 2010

"Here is an idea of what the classic Oberheim Strummer from 1991 can do to single notes playing a metal drum sound on a TX7.

The strummer is was designed to sit in between a midi keyboard controller and the desired midi sound device. In this case a dx7 and a tx7.

The Strummer's midi input "listens" to what a keyboardist plays and the midi output plays it back out modified to sound like a guitarist had strummed it instead. From a 3 note chord it can makes a 6 string riff. You can edit to make all sort of riff strokes.

Obviously nothing can sound as authentic as a real guitarist & the Strummer is no exeption.

However, The magic happens when it is used to trigger sounds it was not designed for, such as the metal drum sound here."

TR-909 version 4 upgrade

"Thanks to Chuck303 and Robbin Whittle"

via diprec on the upgrade:

"This firmware solves the TR-909's sequencer lag and loss of synchronisation when playing internal patterns or tracks when slaved to the incoming MIDI clock, which is very disappointing and can make recording sessions tough ! If you ever tried to slave your 909 to MIDI clock, you probably already know whether it responds correctly or not. If it does not, then this firmware update will fix it and enable you to take full advantage of your 909's MIDI capabilities."
