Yamaha Montage Day 2 - Exploring FM Bass and Leads

Published on Jun 20, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"I laid down a TR-8 (606 kit)/Simmons SDS 8 drum loop, and added a little kick from the Montage. Then just started laying down parts. Kept the Rhodes family simple. The basses are all FM. I just kind of messed with the knobs and performance settings. The way you can manipulate FM on the fly with the Montage is wonderful. So many different timbres. Tried to stick with FM for the leads as well, though some are layered with AWM. The Montage is just fun to play so this video is probably too long and it's full of mistakes. But it was fun for me :)"

Roland JX-8P with Working Aftertouch

"Just serviced: The synth got a very good cleaning, inside and out, and the aftertouch was restored.

AFTERTOUCH: I've had five JX-8Ps in my life and I can assure you 95% of the 8Ps out there have no working aftertouch due to their age unless the aftertouch was serviced and restored. This one I just restored last week. It's a tedious process that involves opening it up and removing the whole key bed. Then each of the 61 keys and 61 key springs are removed. (while the plastic keys are out, I gave them a sudsy soak overnight, then cleaned each key, one by one, dried, and re-lubed each with lithium grease). The multi-layered aftertouch strip is opened and each part cleaned or scrubbed and the carbon impregnated contact strips reconditioned and re-carbonized. Re-assembly of the strip is very difficult, but I've done this process with success now to five JX-8Ps.

The aftertouch is very cool and a must have feature for any JX-8P. By pressing down a little harder on keys you are already pressing, you can add brilliance, vibrato or volume swells. By changing your LFO settings, the "vibrato" added can actually do some really neat stuff beyond basic vibrato."

Roland SH-101 through a Boss CE-2B Bass Chorus Pedal (+TR-606, DM-2W) demo by Jordan Passmore

Published on Jun 20, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"In this demo I am running a sequenced SH-101 through the Boss Bass Chorus CE-2B pedal, followed by a Boss DM-2w Delay. The CE-2B is nice with synths because it actually has a dry/wet knob on it so a bunch of the original signal isn't lost, which is too frequently the issue with synthesizers used in tandem with guitar pedals.

The drums are the Roland TR-606 and the Boss PC-2 Percussion Synthesizer (the PC-2 is doing the mild synth snare sound)."
