Roland Launches Music Creation Platform 808303.studio

via Roland: "Roland Launches Music Creation Platform 808303.studio with the Design Museum in London Featuring Legendary TR-808 Rhythm Composer Drum Machine and TB-303 Bass Line Synthesizer

In response to the global pandemic, museums have been forced to reimagine how visitors interact and engage. Now, Roland and Yuri Suzuki have teamed up with the Design Museum to create 808303.studio, a fun and educational music creation platform and online-learning experience.

The Design Museum is also currently showing its popular ‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to the Chemical Brothers’ exhibition featuring Roland’s legendary TR-808 Rhythm Composer drum machine and TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer.

808303.studio
The 808303.studio, which features Roland’s innovative step sequencer interface, as well as emulating the sound of the original Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer drum machine and Roland TB-303 Bass Line bass synthesizer, is a professional-sounding online musical interface. The studio lets users record their masterpieces and allows sharing through social media or as a download. Acid House innovator ‘A Guy Called Gerald’ will also be on board to help visitors find their way around the platform and teach them how to program and play their own electronic dance music using 808303.studio.

‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to the Chemical Brothers’ exhibition
The ‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to the Chemical Brothers’ exhibition focuses on innovation in electronic instruments and key moments in the history of electronic subculture. Roland’s TR-808 Rhythm Composer drum machine and its TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer — arguably two of the most groundbreaking inventions in the history of electronic music – will be on display. The unique sounds, along with their interfaces and unique perspectives, will allow visitors to take unexpected and innovative approaches to making music.

The Glorious Combo Livejam- Juno 106, Bass Station 2, Blooper, Launchpad Pro, Octatrack and RE 201

-CALC-

Fresh back from a little servicing love, the Roland Juno 106 and RE201 tape echo get back on the bench for a workout.

Based around a simple sequence from Launchpad Pro into the Bass Station 2 (using the marvellous AFX mode) the 106 is feeding loops into the Chase Bliss Blooper pedal. Octatrack holding the rhythm section in check.

Novation Teases New Aphex Twin Collaboration

Apparenlty these billboards are popping up in LA, Berlin, Bristol, and London per CDM.

Click the image to the left to zoom in and find some clues, if they apply that is.

On the left you'll see X-Station. The original X-Station was a controller keyboard with the K-Station engine built in. Note the font below it.

On the right you'll see Osc Filter Mod. Below you'll see Microtuning.

Feel free to see what else you can find.

Aphex Twin also worked with Novation on the AFX Mode Bass Station II and the Warp Records WXAXRXP 30th Anniversary Bass Station II.

Rumor is we'll find out Oct 20.

Update: and an image of the purported box spotted by Soviet Space Child.

It's Just Time | Mike Pensini (ft Novation Summit)

Mike Pensini

Here's my latest track "It's Just Time"!

For my fellow synth heads, the bulk of this track is a single Multi split patch I put together on the Novation Summit, with a fat synth bass on the left side and a Prophet 5 inspired polysynth/brass sound on the right - all recorded in one take.

Ft Nate Smith on the drums courtesy of his killer sample loop library!

Hydrasynth original performance patches

Demonstrations

"This is a selection of performance patches I've created for the AMS Hydrasynth synthesizer. The Hydrasynth is an 8 voice mono-timbral synth. Although it has no sample content, the synth engine is quite versatile. There is an emphasis on performance controls, including the very rare 'polyphonic aftertouch' and 4 octave ribbon controller. My fully original patches make full use of the performance characteristics as demonstrated in this video. These patches are a radical departure from the factory sound-set, demonstrating the versatility of the synth engine, along with the various performance controls. This video is performance demonstration only, no talking!"
