Sequential Circuits Drumtraks Demos

"Running through some favorite beats I made on my Drumtraks, an 8-bit sample based drum machine from 1984 with real-time volume & tuning controls. It has the same 24db Curtis chip used in the DMX. It was one of the first MIDI devices, so with a keyboard, you can input beats with velocity sensitivity. I believe tuning tweaks can also be recorded live per beat. One thing that sucks for Roland fans, is that Drumtraks has no step-time mode.

Since the "holy grail" Linn LM1 costs as much as a mortgage down payment these days, and LinnDrum and DMX prices are only going to go up, I would consider the Drumtraks a great alternative if you like the sound of 80s digital drum machines. Although not very popular, this is clearly an 80s drum machine to the bone!

NOTES: I am using the mono-out into a Behringer Xenyx 1202FX wth a tad of reverb and effects stuff here and there. No snares are used in this video. I am using a Roland footswitch to change the beat sometimes due to issues with the keypad. Left LCD = tuning of the instrument and volume depending on which knob you use, right LCD = the beat you are on."

Synth-Project Poly-Ana Controller for Admiral Quality VST

"With 4 Doepfer Midi Interfaces to control over 220 Parameters, is this the Contrtoller Flagship

I think, the Poly-Ana Controller for Admiral Quality VST Instruments will be the last Contoller this year. And it will be the „Flagship“ of my Controllers.

The Controller has two Front Panels to control all the parameters of the VST Instrument. The upper and the lower Front Panel. The upper Front Panel contains the 3 Oscillators Section, the 2 Filter Section, the 2 LFO and 2 AMP Section.

The lower Front Panel contains on the left side, the 3 Envelopes, in the middle a 8“ Touchscreen and on the right side the 2 Modulation Mixer and the 2 Sample and Holds.

Also the Controller will have a 4 Octave Keyboard with Pitch and ModWheel. The Touchscreen which shows the VST Instrument is primarily use for switching, load and save the presets.

The controller will has about 226 Parameters. So i need 4 Midi Interfaces to control this Plugin."
