Roland P-6 VS MPC60ii Sound Test! They're both dope!


video upload by Ricky Tinez

"I wanted to see if the Roland P-6 could replace my MPC 60ii when it comes to texture and sound quality, TL:DR nope. BUT the P-6 definitely has its own sound that is unique to itself."

00:00 The Goal!
00:54 Simple Straight Clean drum beat
01:44 Trying to get 'Crunch'
02:14 11kHz vs 14.7kHz vs 40kHz
02:44 Drum Sounds Alone
03:26 Getting 'Dirty' clipped drums on both machines
04:12 P-6 Pros vs the MPC60ii
05:08 Piano Chords and Synths
06:04 Now this sounds crazy
07:10 Why no 44.1 on the P-6?
08:00 Another Plus for the P-6. Chromatic Range
09:35 Sampling a whole 'song'
11:16 What a 'whole track' sounds like on each device
11:55 Final Thoughts, did we learn anything?

Customized sound on the Sequential Take 5. 🔥🔥🔥


video upload by Eric Jones

"I decided to create a patch on this powerful little synth. Programming is easy but it depends on how deep you would like to go especially when you start to dive into the mod matrix. Right now I’m not there yet but this sound is serviceable. It reminds me of the Yamaha Dx Brass. I decided to call the patch “East of Da Sun”. Don’t ask me why because I don’t know, I guess I was trying to think outside the box. 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

Synthstrom Deluge - classic downtempo synth with Zeptocade, Chroma Console

See this post for additional details on the Zeptocade.

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

Full disclosure: Ian from Synthstrom got in touch and we were discussing my older Deluge videos. I mentioned I had been missing the Deluge since I sold it, and he kindly offered to ship one to me so I could try the new screen and community firmware. I didn't pay for this Deluge, although I did pay taxes and duty on it (O, Canada). In short, while I bought my original Deluge, this new one was sent by Synthstrom.

But I have to say it's so good to have it back. The updates to the hardware (i.e. the screen) and the firmware have fixed basically every shortcoming I felt in the device, and they did so without compromising what makes the Deluge so great. Thanks to the screen, I can finally learn how to better use the device without resorting to YouTube searches, I can easily adjust patches and use samples effectively, and I can see all the new effects and other changes. And thanks to the community firmware, I can now bust out of the one-endless-loop mentality with grid mode, and have stereo chorus, and so much more. And somehow, all these new additions don't seem to get in the way of what made the Deluge so great in the first place: great synth sounds, feeling like a sketchpad space where it's fun to quickly draft ideas, buttons that feel really great to the touch, and a complete groovebox package with endless sequencing plus MIDI and CV out.

Here, I relied on some of those well-known Boards of Deluge preset packs (go check them out!) to drum up some inspiration. From there, I started to explore looped audio stretching, which I'd never done in the Deluge but was now so easy, as well as resampling. And finally, I switched into the new grid mode for some easy arrangement and clip launching. It's just awesome.

I wanted some more drums, and something with a few more buttons to play, so I added in the Infinitedigits Zeptocore/Zeptocade. It's an audio loop slicer and player with a strong emphasis on performability, which is right up my alley. It's also imperfect, which I discuss more in the Patreon behind-the-scenes video. In short, I adore the performance aspect and think it sounds so good (especially through the Chroma Console for saturation, compression, and delay), but I also struggled to keep it in tempo and not bugging out.

Ultimately, I was surprised where this one ended up. I thought it was going to be a busy fast song, but it fell into a more contemplative and interesting backbeat.

Thanks for listening.
