I've been travelling quite a bit over the last few weeks and decided to get the "Rolcas" to keep me company while travelling. I have been super impressed with the T-8, J-6, and S-1, and been having a blast while sitting in hotel rooms or ferry line-ups. The T-8 in particular leads to instant fun, and the S-1 is a surprisingly deep synthesizer with fantastic sound.

Here, I made a pattern from scratch on the T-8, quickly transposed something I had noodled on the S-1, and then performed it on the spot. I also added in the Crum Drum, another cheap drum machine, for some fun percussive performance. It made a great combo with the Rolcas (although its synch occasionally lost a 16th note). The three together made a fantastic, fun, and fast jam.

It was the fun of these devices, and this jam, that made me think to reach out to Vincent and see if he wanted to make some of his magic on the video. He really captured the spirit of the jam, and I was delighted by the end results!

Roland T-8 - Drums and bass
Roland S-1 (+ XLN RC-20 plug-in for a bit of dirt/warble) - Chords
Nyström Crum Drum - Percussion

Written a few minutes before recording. Performed and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Thanks for listening."

Vermona twinVCFilter – Part 2: more filter sweeps

video upload by vermonagear

00:00 | Intro
00:36 | filter sweep lowpass, 24 dB/octave with overdrive (no resonance)
01:03 | filter sweep lowpass, 24 dB/octave
02:06 | filter sweep bandpass, 12 dB/octave
03:03 | filter sweep highpass, 12 dB/octave

"In the second video about twinVCFilter, we explore its serial mode. Connecting both filter sections in a row doubles the slope, which results in 24 dB/octave low- and highpass filter and a bandpass with 12 dB/octave.

Like in the first video, we sweep through all filter types with different resonance settings."
