"Newly restored Roland CR-5000

Knobs have been cleaner though and the case has been cleaned and refinished to get rid of yellowing. The original switches have been replaced with linear & silent keyboard switches and 3D printed keycaps.

The new switches are awesome and will easily last 40 more years. The case is missing some screws but is sturdy. The case has a stain shown on the right side of the drum machine. Everything works on this drum machine and it’s ready for a new home. Thanks!"

Sonicware Ambient Ø Sample Manipulation Experiement - Speak Clearly....


video upload by ChrisLody

"I had a an hour or so free time this afternoon to do something experimental, messing with the Ambient 0's Noise layer for the purposes of sample manipulation.

I found the tape deck shown, a Genexxa CTR-96, in a charity shop recently and bought it immediately as it had a tape inside. That's always in 'insta-buy' scenario for me and it paid off. On the tape is the phrase you hear, 'You should speak clearly to get the best recognition accuracy, full stop'. The lady repeats this 3 time on the 3 getting slower and sounding more frustrated. There seem to be children making noise in the background so my best guess is she was a teacher and was trying out some 90s speech to text which wasn't working well (it didn't back then), but I'm not sure. The rest of the tape is full of unintelligible voices of children in the presumed classroom. The tape deck has multiple playback speeds so I used High in order to be able to record the whole phrase in the sample time allowed on the Amb0, then pitched it back down afterwards.

So that's sampled into the Amb0 and then I use it's LFOs to mostly control pitch. In hindsight I should have also routed the level and cutoff, maybe in the future. It can do some interesting things with the stepped LFO shapes to pitch as they contain sections that stop moving so the speech is still recognisable. Also the reverse delay is very good for glitching things as you can hear at the end."

Future Sound Systems Cric Patch Journal: Two Voice Paraphony


video upload by Matt Lowery

"With freshly tie-dyed hands, I demonstrate and explain a Cric patch that has been on my desk for almost two weeks. We'll use Rene 2 to sequence two channels of Cric, send the resulting audio through the Vongon Polyphase, and create a big granular cloud to sit behind that whole situation. It'll be fun, you'll see.

"I really wanted to make use of a lot of MIDI effects of the Hapax hardware sequencer in this jam! 😃
So nearly all of the sequences you'll here coming from the 0-Coast, Perfourmer and Nymphes, have been recorded with very few notes.
The rhythmic and chords richness are mainly coming from the onboard MIDI effects. Thus:

🎸 BASS (0-Coast):
The track starts with the 0-Coast playing a simple pattern, which gets a bit more complex when I add more PULSES on the EUCLID effect of the Hapax. There's also a RANDOM MIDI effect on this track which from time to time, transposes some notes to 1 or 2 octaves.

🎶 ARP (Perfourmer):
The Perfourmer then gets introduced progressively, sequenced by Track 2 of the Hapax where actually, no notes where recorded! Every note you are hearing are being generated in real-time by the REGISTER MIDI effect. I also used the SCALER effect for the generated notes not to go out of scale 😉

🎹 CHORD STABS (Nymphes):
I used the RANDOM + HARMO + SCALER MIDI effects here to transform the single notes recorded to the cool CHORD STABS!

🥁 DRUMS (TR-6S):
The drum parts are played by the TR-6S using only the Analog Circuit Behavior engine (i.e. no samples used) for the drum sounds. I didn't use the TR-6S' sequencer here but the Hapax, in order to be able to swap between different patterns on only one machine (Hapax)."

Teenage Engineering OP-XY: Distorted Electro-Rock ⚡Live Jam in Overdrive


video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"A moment of deceptive calm. Lately, inspiration has been playing hard to get, yet the need to express myself is stronger than ever. So, I dug into some old projects—and this track was the very first one I crafted with the Teenage Engineering OP-XY. Though, in its original form, it was something entirely different. I called it "Apparent Calm".

To capture my current state of mind, I decided to push things a little further, adding a touch of distortion with the TC Electronic Dark Matter pedal effect. Thanks to OP-XY’s versatility, I could shape it exactly the way I wanted, applying it only where it felt right.

That distortion effect gives the track a more rock, alternative edge—just the way I like it. It adds grit, raw energy, and a certain unpredictability that makes the whole piece feel alive.

As always, this is a live jam, recorded in one take, so expect a few spontaneous twists and turns. I took my time, played it smooth, and tried to avoid mistakes (though, let’s be real, some made it in anyway).

If you love electronic (but also rock) music, experimental sound design, and live performance, this one’s for you. Hope you enjoy the ride! 🚀🎶

🎧 Best experienced with headphones.

Gear Used:
Teenage Engineering OP-XY (Both factory presets and personal ones)
TC Electronic Dark Matter (Distorsion)
Teenage Engineering TX-6 (used for recording)"
