Jet Power Jack - Main Theme (Commodore 64) - Korg MS-20 mini

Published on Jul 22, 2014 MrCaliforniaD

"Theme by Gary Partis.

Played on the Korg MS-20 mini. The original SID chip version is also on my channel if you wish to compare sounds."

According to Innerclock Systems, makers of precision tempo-sync solutions, all Roland TR-909s suffer from rhythmic jitter:

"The TR-909 uses a single CPU that runs the whole circus and, like all computers it’s a serial process – it has many tasks to do. If the sequencer step trigger timing has no higher interrupt priority than any other task within the machine then, when the CPU has to deal with some other task everything else takes a back seat. That’s why she is a sloppy beast. Always was. Always will be..."

The Rev 4 update does not address the problem:

"Regarding the TR-909 Rev 4 Update – this was a Roland factory-addressed fault/software bug in the Rev 1/2 System EPROM:-

http://www.diprec.com/tr909/tr909.htm

The Rev 4 Update will correct long term cumulative sync drift when externally synced to Midi Clock from any source.

Rev 1 units will not sync to Midi Clock. Ever. Don’t bother trying.

Din-Sync and FSK external tempo-sync stability is unchanged with the Rev 4 Update.

This update does not address the more serious problem of sloppy timing within the machine itself. That would require a total software re-write and some hardware design changes which will never happen."

Curious how the timing is on the new TR-8. If the TR-8 can precisely cover the TR-909, is it a better solution than the original?

Of course the question is whether you notice the jitter. There are plenty of 909 users out there.

Grassi Box - Analysis

Grassi Box - Analysis from Rodrigo Constanzo on Vimeo.

"The Grassi Box is a MIDI-to-relay piece of hardware (built by Dan Wilson of Circitfied) based on an Arduino teensy and some accompanying software tools built in Max. The idea is to be able to control a variety of my ciat-lonbarde instruments from a computer.

In this video the audio from the guitar is being analyzed (in real-time) to find the nearest preset/combination/permutation from a set of 6884 pre-analyzed presets.

2 MOOGS

Published on Jul 22, 2014 Jason Basson

"A video that was in my mind for many months.Finally I made it!:-) During the making of this video my Polymoog worked again well :-))), because last week there came only sound out of the 3rd and 4th octave! That was after I had replaced the Polymoog carefully.So I preferred to use the lower octaves to demonstrate the triggering."

Kinetik Laboratories Gort + Boss DR55 + Arturia Microbrute

Published on Jul 22, 2014 Kinetik Laboratories

"The new version of GORT is provided with a Sync input jack that can be used to synchronize Gort's steps to pulses coming from external devices. If the SYNC IN jack is connected, the WALK SPEED knob is ignored, and the Gort's sequencer will proceed accordingly to the pulses coming from the external device.
