Cassette 606 - Free Roland TR-606 Sample Pack By BPB (24-bit WAV)

"Cassette 606 is a free Roland TB-606 analogue drum machine sample pack featuring raw and tape processed one shot samples in 24-bit WAV format.

Each drum hit of a modded Roland TB-606 drum machine (Exfade mod) was recorded at different pitches, which is something that wouldn't be possible with a factory TR-606. These raw samples were then recorded to a Cr02 cassette tape at two different gain settings, resulting in a set of nicely overdriven drum hits with a lovely lo-fi character.

The final product features three drum kits for a total of 128 samples in 24-bit WAV format. The pack also includes mappings for the Poise drum sampler.

Contents

128 audio samples in total (24-bit WAV format).
72 clean Roland TR-606 one shot samples.
56 tape processed Roland TR-606 one shot samples.
3 Poise drum kits (DKT format).

JoMoX ModBase 09 and ModBrane 11

Published on Mar 13, 2014 bigcitymusic·311 videos

"In this video the Jomox ModBase 09 and ModBrane 11 modules are being triggered by the Cwejman RG-6 and Cwejman CTG-VC. Random slewed CV's from the D-LFO are used as envelopes for the ModBrane 11 which is fed through two channels of the 4ms VCA Matrix while modulated at different random rates. Audio rate random CV from another D-LFO is fed through the Linear FM of the ModBrane 11. A randomly 'pinged' Mutable Instruments Braids pluck (triggered from the Cwejman RG-6 gate) is used to FM the ModBase 09 Linear FM input. Randomized bi-polar saws and random probability spreads are being used to modulate the 4 CV busses of the Mod Brane 11. The ModBase 09 pitch and tuning comes from MakeNoise pressure points channel (clocked to the RG-6) where a channel of pressure is used to throw the RG-6 clock out of a steady pulse via external signal in and clock rate CV modulation.

Events Channel Link Added Above

Just a heads up. I added the Events Channel link above. Events are great opportunities to meet like minded synth enthusiasts and a chance to see and experience gear you wouldn't be able to otherwise. Note the channel will showcase upcoming events as well as coverage after the event. Major trade shows like NAMM and Musikmesse will not get the event label as they would flood the channel and they are not open to the public. Their channels will be linked above as well leading up to the event and a week or so after. You can always use search to find them later.

Creativity in Music Marketing

Moog Music hits SXSW at Elysium on Saturday, March 15th at 7pm for an official showcase co-presented with Switched On, the Austin-based synth dream store and artist destination spot. Electronic and industrial music pioneer Gary Numan has been recognized as a brilliant musical innovator by a diverse array of the world's greatest artists - from Prince to Lady Gaga, The Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails. While Numan's unique, pioneering style continues to connect, he has never stopped trying to innovate and his latest album, Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind), is evidence of this desire to never stand still. The SXSW showcases led by Numan will be joined by Trust, EMA, Empress Of, Feathers, and Silk Rodeo.

The showcase is a spotlight event for Moog before shifting into high gear for Moogfest, the 5 day, 5 night festival taking place in Asheville, NC April 23 - 27 dedicated to the synthesis of technology art and music. Moogfest will feature musical appearances including landmark performances by 70+ artists, led by Kraftwerk 3D, Pet Shop Boys, M.I.A., CHIC feautring Nile Rodgers, Flying Lotus, and Dillion Francis. Daytime programming features mind-expanding conversation, experimentation and collaboration for creative and technology professionals by some of the world's preeminent thought leaders such as David X. Cohen, Giorgio Moroder, Nick Zinner, and Dan Deacon.

Emmy Parker, Brand Director for Moog Music and Moogfest, joins the Creativity in Music Marketing panel on Saturday, March 15th in the Austin Convention Center at 3:30pm with moderator Eric Welles Nystrom, label manager at Luaka Bop, and Will Hermes, contributing editor at Rolling Stone, to discuss new and creative ways to market music and delving into a few of the most successful campaigns from the past year.
