The Rare 'Italian Lindrum' The Viscount R64 is one of the most mysterious drum machines we've ever sampled. There's little to no information about it online, and by some accounts there are less than 10 functional units left in existence 😳
"Here's short Vlog about my recent trip to Synthfest in Sheffield. This is the first time I've attended the event and would certainly go again.

"I recently picked up a Monotron Duo at Knobcon X. I now have all 3 Monotrons: Duo, Delay, & Original. I decided to compare the 3 of them in case anyone is looking to purchase one. They're all similar but each one has a different trick up it's sleeve.

The origin of this song comes from my friend Vincent's awesome new ambient album, "every day a part". (Check out more of his stuff at https://chonker.bot) Vincent was putting together a remix album and I was happy to participate.
Here, I took four or five snippets of a song, pitched them up, and rephrased them into a melody via the Rytm. Then I added drums and bass, with some additional sample manipulation for atmosphere. For the structure of the song, I simply chained some patterns and muted/unmuted as needed.
The track felt like it needed some melody, so I added the Korg MS-20; the MS-20 is one of the few synths that it makes sense to play with the filter resonance cranked up. To add space and dimension to the melody, I added the Meris LVX doing an ambient delay thing, closely based on one of the presets. I haven't explored the LVX too much so far, but I really like a lot of what it has to offer, especially in its flexibility of routing.
Altogether, it ended up a moody, thoughtful piece, and I hope Vincent (and you!) like it.

"Playing my favorite sounds from the 360 From Mars sample pack from Samples From Mars who sampled the 360 Systems Keyboard. Afaik one of the first (or the first) ROMPLER type synth. Namely, it plays back PCM samples off EPROM chips. I tested the Ableton Live version of this sample pack on Live 11.

Unlike the CMI Fairlight, it does not have sampling capability. Considering it came out in the early 80s it has surprisingly high quality sounds for the time–being tamed by tasty CEM filter chips.
Note: I am not affiliated with Samples From Mars. I bought this with my own money for my own music composition needs.
