Oakley Sound Modified Roland RS-101

Published on Nov 17, 2012 by TaklaMakanMusic

"So this is my attempt to turn a rather battered old Roland RS-101 into a new and very useful machine.

The unit arrived in several pieces when I first got it. Over the period of a few months, when I could grab the time, I fixed it up and then modified it.

I upgraded the power supply, added the human voice circuitry from the VP-330, created a balanced stereo output, put a proper mixer for each tone, added an ensemble bypass switch for each tone and added the ensemble modulation section from the RS-505.

What you see in this video is me just mucking about with the various switches and pots on the unit. The first sound is the VP-330's human voice circuitry, then the brass, then the strings. Note that this RS-101 now has three ensemble modes - controlled by the furthest switch on the left. Mode 1 is the RS-505's ensemble I, mode 2 is the RS-505's ensemble II and mode 3 is the RS-101 default chorus although is has been made stereo.

It should be noted that the RS-101's oscillators and note gating circuitry are different to the RS-505 and the VP-330 so it won't sound exactly like either. But I think it has its own sound which is rather pleasing.

Photographs and more details about the mod can be seen at:

I should say sorry for the rather tatty video quality. The room was dark and my camera is somewhat limited. This, however, is the raw sound from the RS-101. There are no effects added.

"You can always use another little mixer, right? This one has connectors on the board that expose the tips and the normals of the input jacks, so that multiple copies of this module can form a little matrix mixer by plugging them together behind the panel."

"This is a pair of pulse integrators wrapped in a balloon metaphor. For each pulse into the tap input the balloon is pushed aloft by the amount of force applied. The balloon is pulled back to earth by the attraction of gravity."

"VISUAMUSIO is an iPad application for the creation of visual music animations. Animate with shape and sound to create films that are both musical and visual.

Since the early 20th century experimental filmmakers and animators have been intrigued by the relationships between sight and sound, visual imagery and musical composition, and have explored these in new and exciting forms of expression. These expressions are called "Visual Music" and have had a lasting influence on modern computer animation and motion graphics.

VISUAMUSIO pays tribute to their experimental investigations. Ranging from simple dances of geometric shapes and synthetic sounds to more complex algorithmic visual symphonies, the depth of possibilities are open to you. Experience the world of visual music.

When you have finished your work, you can share it with the world. On the sharing page, you can label your music and visuals with your work title and your name. You can view your sound scape like seeing sketchbooks in a line.
