Roland TR-8S Performance with FM Drums only!
Patchwerks Seattle
"In this video resident expert Cedric of Patchwerks shows us just how capable the FM drum's are on the new TR-8S 2.0 firmware. Pay close attention to the CTRL knobs as that is where you will find the sound "morphing" happening during the performance.
From Roland:
Born of the most famous and influential drum machines ever made, the TR-8S combines the best of its Roland heritage with modern production techniques and comprehensive sound design. The result? The most complete drum machine to date—a forward-thinking, performance-tuned instrument unlike any other. Build your dream kit from the most iconic drum sounds of all time, otherworldly FM sounds, and the finest selection of samples from our vast library—or go even further by importing your own custom samples. Tap, tune, and tweak with hands-on controls and production tools that make your patterns move and groove. And why keep this kind of percussive power confined to the studio? The TR-8S was literally made to play live.
Stellar FM Sounds!
The FM sounds in the TR-8S are unlike anything this side of Mars, conjuring silvery drum hits and twisting tails to augment your tracks. The Morph parameter is an ultra-expressive macro control that lets you sweep through an array of sonic variations, wildly manipulating FM depth, ratio, and feedback with simple knob movements.

Thonk is 8 years old today!
Happy Birthday Thonk! :)
"8 years old? Wow, how did that happen? The last few months have been such a blur we almost lost track of time.
Normally we celebrate our birthday with something special for our lovely customers, we have to delay that until Oct/Nov as we are still slammed after the lockdown... but we'll make it good :)"

MIC TEST | MicroFreak Vocoder | No Gooseneck mic? | haQ attaQ
Jakob Haq
"Arturia recently published a MicroFreak synthesizer firmware update with a that includes a new Vocoder mode and I'm trying to find a good microphone to use with it. Now this new firmware update is is free and it works with the older original version of the MicroFreak, pretty sweet. Arturia also released a new white version of the MicroFreak that comes with a gooseneck microphone so new users are have their vocoder action covered. Us older MicroFreak owners though, we have to find another mic option for now and it turns out that the mic input is of a TRRS type, so we might already have what we need at home."

Pristine looking case. Pics are a bit Blue Velvet / Twin Peaks in style.
"Roland SH-1 SYNTHESISER + Dedicated Case SET Roland Analog Synthesizer New and unused. Studio controlled product. Store several units as spare machines. The condition is kept by regular maintenance and energization. At the time of exhibition, I checked the sound of the same model again. The sound can be transferred to the person who purchased the new sound with confidence, rather than the individual who always uses it. The movement of the modulation lever, keyboard touch, and various sliders is normal. The case itself is also a temperature-controlled storage box, so there is no deterioration. With a key. There is an instruction manual."

"Has a small blemish, clearly imaged above. Ships with power supply.
from CL:
Rolzer is a beat generator add-on for the , a drum and drama machine. The Plumbutter offers complete voltage control of all parameters, including its pulse-rolls, for generating beat tempo patterns. However, when voltage control is added to an androgynous circuit such as the rolz, it has the tends to roll-off the ultrasound chaos present in the original incarnation of this idea, the . So here we have the Rolzer, a collection of geometries graded into tempi by virtue of their capacitors. It is for developing a relationship and searching for the oddest, most alive rhythms, not by twiddling knobs but by making connections.
Here we can bring back the strong sense of idiosyncrasy only offered by non-knobbed geometries, without whimsey, by collaborating with the industrial value system of capacitors, known as "E6". Basically, a ratio of ten is broken logarithmically into six gradations, and these are mapped to a sense of tempo, associating Italian quality with Industrial quantity: presto, allegro, moderato, andante, adagio, lento, and grave become modules of 1, 1.5, 2.2, 3.3, 4.7, 6.8, and 10 microfarad values.
Now, each tempo module contains an assortment of even and odd rolls. From top to bottom: hexagon, triangle, square, pentagon, and hexagon again. There are two hexagons to offer that roll's plexus for connections. Before defining the colors, review the sandrode concept- androgynous nodes that neither input nor output, but perform both functions at different times. In the rolzer, they are simply transistor neurons, with three simple actions: discharge of a capacitor, building up to a threshold, and inverted pulsing another neuron. The sandrode function is at the junction of these three, forming both a sensor and a pulse generator. The rolzer modules' majority of connections are sandrodes, represented as brown nodes. In the language of plumbutter, brown is both a hot and a cool color, so it takes both those attributes, output and input. However, sometimes you just want an output, perhaps for voltage control of a manifesting gong. So, each roll has one orange jack that yields a square wave at the tempo of the roll.
Connections may be stacked, and since all the plumbutter and rollzer outputs have a current limiting resistor, anything can go into the brown bananas. However, note that the brown bananas have no current limiting resistor; this is essential to propagate the paradox wave effect. The impedance of a brown node feels like a diode junction to ground, plus a high impedance to positive. As of 2014, I have not received any complaints of broken browns, because most sensible synthesizers have some kind of current limiting resistor on their outputs. But make note that if you have a very old Serge, you will likely already know about its own smoking modules when outputs are crossed, and that old warning would apply when patching old Surge to a brown banana. In general, the browns are meant to be patched with each other, and connected to the green inputs of plumbutter for drum machine manifestation. Likewise, orange "should" go to blue or purple. And red and gray can come back into the browns here. But experimenting really can't hurt!"
