606 Steps In The Sand - Roland TR-8 606 Expansion

"My first exploration of the new 606 update to the superb Roland TR-8 drum machine. I've owned a few 606 in my life and, while this is not exactly the same as the original, this kit is just as much fun! The synths are from Reaktor."

Akai Rhythm Wolf Analog Drum Machine

Published on Jun 28, 2016 Synth Universe

"I have been sitting on this one for a while, not sure what to make of it. This video goes through the individual sounds, including the bass synth. My second video goes through pattern playing, muting, etc. I know it's not a well liked machine. It looks nice. The sound is OK. The Howl feature is OK as well if used sparingly. It seems to put gain on the output, creating a lot of noise."

Tonestar 2600 - Arpeggiation Daved

Published on Jun 28, 2016 StudioElectronics

"Sequential-ed (arpeggiated) Tonestar 2600 featuring the feedback feature; won't you? A fairly throbbing, bubbling, transient-heavy affair with a touch of outs-to-outs patching: makes X-Mod/notch/highpass filter tones 'attainably' enjoyable where the exoteric architecture would seemingly preclude it."

Disco Bassline with the SH-101, Linn 9000, TR-606.

Published on Jun 28, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"This demo is of the Roland SH-101 (doing the bassline), Linn 9000 (most of the drums, including kick, congas, tamb, etc) and Roland TR-606 (high hats, cymbals, snare). Each piece of gear is running off of it's own sequencer with the Roland SBX-80 providing the master clock. There is a slight bit of Korg MS-20m doing a randomized arpeggio, which is connected to a Mutable Instruments MIDIpal. The delay used is the Boss DM-2w, the mixer is the Roland M-16E, and the audio interface is the Roland Super UA."

Make Noise 0-Coast First Test (sneak preview)

Published on Jun 28, 2016 Genshi Media Group

"This is the 0-Coast completely raw with no effects and without knowing what all it can do or how it works... this was literally shot 5 Minutes after unboxing! I just wanted to get the experience on video as quickly as possible. I will be doing much better and more thorough videos in the next day or two, so stay tuned! And feel free to leave comments on what you would like to see me demo with the Make Noise 0-Coast!"
