Korg MS20 Basic snare drum sound

YouTube Uploaded by demokid2000 on Apr 6, 2012

"A basic snare sound made using the Korg MS-20. The trick is to use the high pass filter to add the punch/snap to the drum sound. Drum sounds are very easy to create on a MS20.
The MS20 can also create pretty decent hand clap sounds using the high pass filter, S&H and some other stuff. I will post a video later."

"This 2u 19´´ box features a row of buttons, two knobs and a three digit/ 3x7 segment led. From left to right: The run/stop button with associated led. The clear button with led. The play/write button with two status leds. Four patch (pattern) buttons. The step amount button plus four leds. 16 multi function buttons with associated leds. The speed knob with downbeat led. The accent amount knob. The on/off switch. And -most important- on the back are six trigger outs; a run/stop footswitch jack and: a DIN-sync socket with an in/out switch. If the TSQ 1000 is not running you can select one of its eight banks by pressing one of the first eight multi function buttons, whereby banks 1-6 are four beat (16 steps) and 7&8 three beat (12 steps).

The first digit in the display shows you the actual bank number. There are four patterns per bank. Set the TSQ1000 in write mode and you can select one of the six voices (that is, of course: trigger channels)or accent by means of pressing buttons 9-15; the third display digit tells you the number of the selected voice. Before you start that thing running you have to select the amount of bars with the step selector; actually if you don´t, there´ll be just one bar, but you can rearrange that anytime. So if you have programmed a four bar patch and you want a two bar instead you just change it by pressing the step select button; and if you change back all the data of bars three and four are still there. There are four associated leds, so if you press the button once, the second led will go on, you press twice and you get three bars... The first led also blinks with every step when the machine is running. So now you have a voice selected plus your amount of bars. Press run and it will repeat the first bar only -unless you hit the step select button. Now it will play the next bar unless you press again. A pretty clever idea that lets you program the bars properly. Yeah, well and you enter `notes´ by hitting one of the 16 buttons and the associated led tells you that and where you did so -like with a TR-606. If you switch to play mode it will of course loop all the four bars and not just one. As said -you have to stop the sequencer in order to change voices you want to program. In play mode you can choose between four patterns (the one selected indicated by the middle digit in the display) while the TSQ1000 is running. In write mode it has to be stopped first. Oh, and sadly you have to stop it to change from write to play mode ore vice versa. The accent amount knob should be clear -hands on control, always fine. Great thing: the DIN-sync is 24ppq, Roland that is, not Korg.

So that´s it. A six voice step sequencer. I tell you: that´s something I´ve really been waiting for. I connect up to six analog synths to it and twiddle their knobs. And even though the sequencer itself is of course not at all expressive, the results it helps me to create are. It just gets more complex this way, what with interdependency and all you know..."

Octave Cat SRM

via this auction

"Octave Cat SRM vintage analog synth. This has had a lot of work put into it. The PSU has been recapped, The

bushings have all been replaced and the keys leveled making it very smooth and nice feeling. It has been calibrated and tuned. Most of the opamps have been replaced with new ones as well making it more reliable. Wood sides have been refinished in a nice Sedona red as well. Only issue of note is one switch is missing the top. It still functions, it's just not as easy to switch it. You're getting the SRM model (which had extra features, including the SSM filter as used in the Prophet 5 rev 2 synthesizer), LFO rate LED, LFO delay, etc. This is the more sought after SRM model and cheaper than other non-SRM models currently on eBay that also have some small issues. Although this one should be reliable for years to come with recapped PSU, bushings, etc."
