"This module is comparable with a Simmons SDS-8 Drums, but this module has 8 VCO's over 8 different channels, which can be controlled by manual mode or preset mode. Onboard presets are: 1.B-Drum: 2.Snare: 3.Hi-hat: 4.Cym-1: 5.Tom-1: 6.Tom-2: 7.Cym-2: 8.Tom-3. The manual mode has a Pulse, Trigger led, Decay (which also works on the presets), Pad Sens, VCO Sweep, VCO Pitch, Noise, (can be balanced between VCO and Noise )

Noise filter and a Click. Every channel can be balanced and has an independent volume control and a direct output. Speed can also controlled from slow to very fast, manual mode as well preset mode. Also onboard are mix outputs to pan stereo with level, bass and treble control. There is a Micro Sequencer with different patterns. It is not really a sequencer but it has more a demo function. Unfortunately it is defect, but can be fixed easily. For me, it was never important because you can't sync or control it, But every channel can be controlled by an Aux Trigger signal. If you like Kraftwerk you will like this machine (used on the Kraftwerk album Trance Europe Express) and if you un plug the unit then tune all channels together by taking off the back panel and adjusting the trim pot’s you can create real heavy monster basses and sounds! This beastie makes the weirdest noises and is way cooler than Simmons SDS-8 and has a very strong loud output signa..."

JUPITER III G - analog percussion synth

Published on Sep 27, 2012 by chamberofsounds

"Here's the newest version of our Jupiter III synth. It has a redesigned PCB, linear pots, a larger piezo pickup, and an LED power indicator - making it more dynamic, and much ballsier. It's being triggered by both the TCM & hand. Some clips are dry, and others are running through our LSD (light sensitive delay) pedal. Get your space on, only @ chamberofsounds.com"

Published on Sep 30, 2012 by AnalogAudio1

"The MXR 185 is a great American drum machine from 1983. It has individual outputs for drumsounds. The crispy 8-bit samples sound great. The built in sequencer has a "tight" groove, it grooves like hell!"

Happy Drum Machine Halloween

Published on Sep 29, 2012 by Catabolicdj

"A spooky little Halloween live jam on three drum machines. Make sure you turn off all the lights before listening :) Outside shots were taken on within minutes of each other on a recent clear night with a full moon as a powerful storm passed by just to the north. Gear: Elektron Machinedrum UW and dual Sync-modded Boss DR-110's, one with a bass drum mod. Setup: Machinedrum generates sync and outputs it on one channel. A Y-adapter is used to split the sync signal to send to the DR-110's. DR-110's do not naturally sync to other machines, but I modified them to do so. Both DR-110's outputs are returned to the Machinedrum and added to its mix. If you listen in stereo (add fmt=32 to the end of the URL), you can hear the two separate DR-110's more clearly. All drum sounds from the DR-110's, everything else from the Machinedrum. The "guitar" sound on the Machinedrum is amplitude modulation of a high-hat sound. It is difficult to control because it generates weird harmonics, but it sounds fairly guitar-like for being a high-hat. Video is HD viewable."
