Roland TR8S Timing Issues Moving 5 Or More Faders at Once?

PROBLÈMES D'AMOUR Well, not everything is immediately perfect. Great love and solid partnerships require dialog and compromise and devotion. Hard to come by these days, but let's talk about the down side of the TR-8S firmware 1.02 1. CONTROLLER LIMITATION Moving 5 or more faders at once will produce a timing stumble. Here I demonstrate that this is not the case with 1, 2, 3 or 4 rugged fader moves at once, but when we get to 5 at the same time it stumbles and can't do it. I don't know if this is a firmware issue or a limitation of the CPU, but I've really got my toes crossed for a firmware fix for this. 2. AUXILIARY TRIGGER WEIRDNESS In the second clip of this set I demonstrate that the dedicated trigger out works perfectly. No problems. In the last clip I have assigned outputs 1-4 to be triggers, and then assigned tracks 2-5 to operate as triggers (output set to aux 1-4) Theoretically then, whatever is programmed on track 2 should come out as a pattern of triggers from output 1. As you can see this is inconsistent and unreliable. Again, I don't know if this is firmware or hardware, but I have my toes crossed that this is something that a firmware update will set straight. The trigger out works great, but there's something still not quite right about the triggers which come out of the assignable outputs. Could be the length of the trigger. Or possibly the voltage. I haven't measured the output so I don't know. I've communicated with Roland about this, and while I doubt they'll take me up on my offer to help, I am positive their engineers are capable and will solve these hassles fast. I'm posting this to be a part of of the general dialog about pluses and minuses and issues as well as excitement around the TR-8S. It's a really lovely machine and I've got faith that these details will soon be sorted. #Roland #TR8S #rolandaira #problemesdamour

Roland M-VS1 Favorite Vintage Synth Patches 2018 Classic Synthesizer Rik Marston

Published on Mar 18, 2018 SynthgodXXX

"Roland M-VS1 Favorite Vintage Synth Patches 2018"
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD** **Turn it UP!!!**
I will be mixing this unit with my Roland FA-06's SuperNatural sound engine to make some unique sounds.
All samples will be all new sounds, some traditional but mostly all new. I'll see if I can make it an official Reverb Mellotron, String & Vocoder Synth Collection Sample Pack! Let me know!
THANK YOU!!!

Here we have the beautiful ROLAND M-VS1 Vintage Synth
Rack Module in a demo of 10 of my favorite patches.
There are a bunch more I love so expect a follow-up video!
This unit is a MUST HAVE for synth studios because it is very RARE,
has external Input & it is multi-timbral (!!!) making it
an awesome multi-track vintage synth sound module
for an external sequencer, DAW, Music Workstation,
Drum Machine etc.
I love this, honestly I need it more that some other units
& I will be working with it long into the future.. There are
a lot of other musicians & producers who feel that way, too!
These range from $150-$700 depending on the seller,
where it is coming from, condition... I can go on...
I was lucky enough to catch this one from Crazy Dave's
in Orange Park Florida - one of my local synthesizer haunts!
Get an M-VS1 if you can! BUT REMEMBER! they do NOT
respond to external Sysex commands! So no Cutoff, Release,
nothing unless you use a specific editor made for the "M"
line of Roland "Expansion" Racks... I can't find a link to add
or it would be here. Be free to post it if you know where people
can download it or one that works FOR FREE. Thank you!! Rik

Thank you for watching!!!!

20Objects Podcast 221: Nyle Steiner

Published on Mar 18, 2018 20Objects

"This episode is brought to you by the zZyzx Society, whose new self-titled album will be released on March 20th on ZSR Records.

Talk about great stories! From creating modular systems in Utah, to building a shoebox EVI, to playing on the Apocalypse Now score - to a long history as a session player and soloist, Nyle Steiner has always melded musicianship with technical acumen. I was really excited to get introduced to Nyle by Peter Grenader, and jumped at the opportunity for the chat.

We start off talking about his background, but Nyle also is more than willing to share his stories - often in a laid-back way that completely belies the extraordinary level of work (and luck) that he embraced. From hardware developments, to gutting out an introduction into the digitial, to becoming as well known as a player - Nyle has a history of nailing the right thing at the right time.

Enjoy this discussion with one of the true pioneers of electronic music!"
