Roland Jupiter-6 - Near Museum Quality

via this auction
"Roland originally manufactured the Jupiter-6 with an axial RAM battery soldered directly to the printed circuit board. I recently replaced the battery and installed a Philmore BH542 1/2AA battery holder (see photos) to accommodate the replacement battery so the next owner won't need to do any soldering when the battery fails in the years to come. Operationally, the synthesizer is perfect - 100% functional in every way. The original Roland factory presets have been restored, and the original manual is included..."

Akai APC Mini Live Jam - Yamaha Montage, DSI/Oberheim OB-6, Ableton Live 9
Published on Aug 27, 2016 Earmonkey Music
"I'm a fan of the live jam. This is fairly simple one. Just an example of how I do it in Ableton Live, with an Akai APC Mini control pad. Here's what's going on:
First I record some drums. You can do this from a drum machine or anything you want. I have two tracks with drums on them in this video. The first track I played live, just a kick/snare thing. The other track I used the Yamaha Montage arpeggios which have hundreds of drum loops. They're not audio loops, they're actually arpeggios so they are played live and then looped into Ableton.
I sequenced a couple of different bass lines on the OB6 and recorded each one into a separate slot on my Bass track so when I switch between them, I get something different in each slot.
Then I just started playing live and jamming. I arm a track with the APC and at any time, hit a button in a slot to start recording at the next 1-beat. Then keep on going.
It's a very fun way to build up tracks and you can get very complex. The APC will give you access to 8-tracks and 8-slots on each track at a time. You can scroll around with the controller too so you're not just limited to those 64 slots. But I didn't do that here.
The thing I like best is that other than recording the basic drums and bass lines, I didn't even look at the computer screen. It's all live, all hardware. The computer does the recording, but you're not tied to a monitor."
Keystep JX-03 and some effects

"Just the Keystep driving the JX-03, along with effects from an Alesis Nanoverb and a Korg KP3. Recorded raw and direct into Ableton."
Switched on Roland System 1 & Moog Voyager

"Overture - original baroque style synth composition
Not exactly what I had in mind for this youtube channel given that it took a long day's hard work and was anything but spontaneous. It's been years since I've had to bounce down to free up tracks; I think I might stick to the DAW next time I try something this complicated!
(apologies for the usual shakey video - it's sometimes a trick trying to play and keep still whilst holding a smartphone in the other hand)
Roland System 1 with SH101 & SH2 plug-ins

Replicant - Zynaptiq Adaptiverb, Pro 2 , Roland D-50 , Moog Theremin
Published on Aug 27, 2016 100 Things I Do
"During SonicTalk last week (Sonic TALK 459 - Bionic Sustain) Ty Unwin enthused about Zynaptiq's Adaptiverb. I decided to give it a go with its 30 day free trial. The Synth noodle is based on a track I recorded many years ago. The Theremin also has some Eventide Black Hole for extra space. Basically an excuse to wash everything in way too much 'verb and be very loose with tone. I hope you enjoy.

Future Techno? Novation Circuit
Published on Aug 27, 2016 RemixSample
"Freestyle Techno session on the Novation Circuit. The Hissing is included free of charge, thanks to low recording level on my field recorder. http://instagram.com/remixsample
Having 4 sample channels is indeed limiting so I'm gonna have to play around more to find a way to create a more complete tracks. I suspect that having drumloop samples instead of individual percussion sounds will free up at least one extra slot."
I have the technology but who controls who

"Is technology improving the quality of music or creating lazy musicians?"
