How to use a Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer by The Egyptian Lover 1983
Published on Jul 30, 2012 flashmanboogie
Three vids of the Egyptian Lover and the TR-808 on 808 day!
"The Egyptian Lover demonstrates the Roland TR - 808 Drum Machine
("TR" initialism for Transistor Rhythm)
Breakin' n' Enterin' (U.S.-TV Cutscene 1983)"
Published on Sep 25, 2012 FACTmagazine
"So a while ago, we linked to a video that you all seemed to like very much.
It was from the extended TV version of 1983 documentary Breakin' n Enterin', and featured Egyptian Lover, one of the masters of the Roland-TR808 drum machine, giving a brief tutorial on how to use the box (filmed, we believe, around 1981). You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqXayq... [embed above]
Now, given how popular FunkinEven's recent MPC tutorial for FACT TV also was, when we heard that the Egyptian Lover was in London this Summer, we asked if he was down to recreate the scene for 2012. Being a total gent, he was up for it, and built a beat live for us in his hotel room after performing at Blunted. Of course the speakers that we brought didn't work, so the Lover ended up plugging his 808 straight into the hotel alarm clock, which made it all even cooler.

And one of the classic tracks that made everyone love the 808:
The Egyptian Lover - Egypt, Egypt
Uploaded on Feb 26, 2008
"One of 1984's finest. Born Greg Broussard, The Egyptian Lover started off doing his thing as a Los Angeles DJ doing parties at the LA Sports Arena, and later putting his stamp on the hip-hop/electro scene with this memorable song that I still play to this day!!!! You can see this brother performing and coming to a town near you. Man, I feel like breakdancing right damn now, but my arthritis won't let me LOL"

AJH Synth MiniMod - VCO
Published on Aug 8, 2015 DivKidMusic
"Here's the oscillator from the AJH Synth MiniMod voice which is truly one of the best synths I've heard (modular or otherwise). Not something I take to saying lightly as I'm not one to announce something big like that but really it's awesome!
I've tried to demo how the raw character of the oscillators are while showing how these go much further than the Minimoog Model D that the circuits are modelling.
I'll have videos of every module in the MiniMod series as well as system overviews looking at the voice as a whole.
As always hit like and subscribe for more videos every week and check the Patreon link in the description to see how you can support my channel.

"This auction is Keio Electronics Lab (Korg) Mini Pops 5 analog drum machine. This unit was built by Keio Electronics Lab, which was the original name for Korg! This machine was originally designed to attached to your favorite organ where it could then be connected up to a speaker and set to accompany your playing with only a touch of the "magic" metal bar on the front of the unit! Today, these are very popular for "circuit benders" and other modification to create very cool drum machines!
This unit is unfortunately untested due to the lack of the power cord and the fact that I don't want to ruin one of these very, very rare units! The unit is in great physical condition though, having only minor scratches and dust..."

"Synth works perfectly. Fully calibrated.
Cosmetically its in good shape. There are a few minor scrapes on the rear but nothing major.
The RCA jacks have been removed and replaced with 1/4" jacks. The output has also been modified for proper line level. The other jack is Audio In. The Gate In has been modified to accept standard gate signals, instead of the S-trig Moog standard.
All of the faders work but could benefit from being reconditioned. Some of the fader caps are missing the silver foil and 1 cap is missing.
There was a knob added to the left of the keyboard for PWM of VCO 1, but is fairly limited. There is also a jack that sends it to the LFO, but again this effect is fairly limited and I just never had the time to look into it further."

"This Prodigy is in stunning mint condition. Most synths this old show signs of wear but this one looks like it was bought yesterday! All of the silk screening is intact. There are no visible scratches or scuffs.
This is one of the early Prodigy's that had some issues with tracking, but this one was professionally modified by Deltronics following Moog's official mod procedures. Both VCO's track perfectly!
The wood case is all original but I took it apart, sanded, stained and put on several coats of polyurethane."

"All faders have been rebuilt (removed, disassembled, cleaned & lubed). VCO & Filter have been calibrated. Some minor signs of wear but nothing major. Both power LED & LFO LED have been changed from red to orange. There are 2 3.5mm jacks at the rear. One control the VCF Cutoff. I am unsure what the other does. There is a 3rd hole that was controlling the envelope but I removed it as it affected how the envelopes triggered from the selector switch on the front. Also, I internally wired the headphone Out to the Audio In jack's unused switch, so when nothing is plugged in it feeds the synth back into the filter causing some insane overdrive. When a jack is inserted it breaks this connection."

Jupiter Clone - VCO Modulation and VFC LFO modulation controls
Published on Aug 8, 2015 tiergrinder
"Update 8/8/2015
VCO ENV/LFO and VFC LFO modulation circuits are now build and working. Calibration is still needed but everything works as it should.
VCO Mod control has switch similar to JP8 that chooses which VCO/VCOS are modulated, VCO1, VCO2 or Both.
Next I will start working on sync circuits."
