Roland Boutique Start - TR-09 Rhythm Composer Tutorial

Published on Dec 15, 2016 RolandChannel

"This video is a short tutorial on the Roland Boutique TR-09 Rhythm Composer.

0:14 Step Recording Mode
2:02 Realtime Recording Mode
2:45 Trigger Sync with TB-03

The influence of the TR-909 drum machine is still heard—and felt—more than three decades after it was launched. Now, the 909 sound is available as part of the Roland Boutique series in the form of the TR-09.

Featuring the same front-panel layout and user interface of the original, the TR-09 is powered by Roland’s ACB technology, delivering the speaker-pummelling power of the TR-909 in a super-affordable and portable format. Offering precise control over an array of drum parameters and the ability to keep playing when switching modes, the TR-09 may be compact, but it still has the power to move people.

Studio sessions are well catered for too, with four separate outputs via USB audio, external instrument control via a trigger output, and USB MIDI."

BTW, Yves is the man behind the MiniBrute which lead to the MatrixBrute. He is also known for his extensive synth DIY projects.

Roland SH-101 Monophonic Analog Synthesizer | Reverb Demo Video

Published on Dec 15, 2016 Reverb.com

"Crafted from 1982 to 1986, the Roland SH-101(http://bit.ly/2hAy4RX) is a 32 key analog monophonic bass synthesizer. Its distinct sound can be recognized on many techno and acid house tracks and its simple layout makes it an accessible vintage synth. We’ll give you a run through of some of its key features, including a single VCO with independent levels for square and pulse waves and a great sounding sub-oscillator.

There’s an LFO and adjustable filter with a variety of tone shaping options, and a section for adding portamento and pitch bends on the fly.

Finally, there’s a built in arpeggiator and sequencer with external clock inputs for syncing, CV/GATE Inputs and outputs, and a CVB hold pedal. If you find one with everything in tact, you’ll also have the option to use it as a keytar with an attachable hand grip.

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c.2016

In this video I explain and demo the features of the Korg 770 Monophonic Synthesizer. This one is currently available on Reverb. The 770 inherits a lot of DNA from the Minikorg 700/700S models, and it's design is the predecessor to the MS-20 model.

The features are staggering for such a simple looking synthesizer:
- External Input for the filter
- Highpass and Lowpass filter w/ variable resonance (Bright)
- a kind of Pulse Width Modulation (Chorus)
- two forms of ring modulation
- Scale Noise, a noise source which tracks w/ keyboard pitch
- OSC1 vibrato w/ delayed onset
- Automatic pitch-bend, Goldfrapp anyone?
- LFO trigger mode for the Envelopes"
