Moog Voyager XL, Roland MC505 and JEN SX1000 and Korg Radias Live
YouTube Uploaded by MrRidgebackman on Aug 8, 2011
"All music performed live into a Behringer X2442USB 24 Channel Mixer into Cubase. First live performance and featuring my Oldest Synth the JEN SX1000 (approximately 30 years old). The Voyager XL is connected via MIDI to the Roland MC505 via Midi Out to the In on the MC. JEN is a standalone and no MIDI, no memory, just Pots to twiddle. The Radias is standalone in this piece also. The Keyboard not being used is the Kawai K4 which I picked up cheap from eBay. All the Synths connected tot he Behringer Xenyx X2442USB with compression being applied to the JEN and the Radias, all but the MC Groovebox have some Echo and Reverb (Program 15 on the Mixer).
The Audio is recorded Live as is the video, except I had to manually sync the vid to the audio - Sony HD camcorder appears not to to be able to operate as an external camera. Working in iMovie is probably not the best package to try and sync video and Audio...I think I managed to get away with it...maybe. The thumbs up at the end was for my purpose. and a thank you to all for watching.
Since doing this, I have a few other options for this piece - no title as yet, but I feel it needs some catchy Vocoding to be thrown in.
The Touch panel works great on the Voyager XL and you will see me trying (in vain) moving to one side, hoping the camera picked it up...Fail.
Also - one thing to note, when playing live, the Wood on the Moog is not playable but does allow your fingers to slip off and hit that top C...if you're lucky.
Sorry for the view of my Back and an ill fitting T-Shirt. Trust me, when I do turn round, the Minimoog wins in the Beauty contest, i definitely have a face for Radio.... :-)"
SOUND MASTER ST-305 Analog Drum Machine 1982 | HQ DEMO
YouTube Uploaded by AnalogAudio1 on Aug 8, 2011
"The Sound Master "STIX PROGRAMMA" ST-305 is an analogue programmable drum machine. It is like something between Roland TR-606 and Boss DR-55 combined with the design of the SH-101. Very Roland-like. Rhythm programming is like on the DR-55, but the sound is rather similar to the TR-606. It has sync in and out, and volume faders for the 7 drum sounds. Every drum sound has its own single output - that is a great feature! There is also a mix output. Accent is also programmable. 8 different patterns can be stored in RAM memory.
A great little drum machine - quite rare.
A Yamaha Pro R3 was used for reverb effects. In the second half of the video I used some of the single outputs."
