7/20/24 Hewlett-Packard 241A & 3310A + Ibanez DD700 + Lexicon PCM 70

"7/20/24 Hewlett-Packard 241A & 3310A + Ibanez DD700 + Lexicon PCM 70

There used to be hundreds of private videos in the queue, but most of them have been published now. The description of this video suggests we had just gotten the second HP 241A oscillator, so this might be the first test:

The newly-acquired second Hewlett-Packard 241A glitches a bit—sometimes a button works, sometimes not—but it seems to be getting better with some use. Here’s a simple patch with a sine wave from one HP 3310A function generator affecting the triangle of the other 3310A. Both HP 241A oscillators are hard-panned in the Fostex 2016, with delay from the Ibanez DD700. Plus some Concert Hall reverb from the Lexicon PCM 70."

Bad Gear - Wavestation


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Instruments featured on this show usually come with at least one of the following three characteristics: corny sounds that didn’t age so well, a super nerdy concept people who actually have a life wouldn’t even try to comprehend and an impenetrable UI gatekeeping the sonic goodness.

Today we are going to talk about Korg’s iconic Wavestations. These early 90s wave sequencing synths are undisputed top performers in each of the aforementioned categories and while the standard versions already require a certain willingness to suffer I - a trained professional - upped the difficulty level a bit and opted for the Dark Souls-like SR edition. Don’t try this at home or at all!

Roland Juno-106 w/ SEM voice chips - No Talking, Bad playing!


video upload by LowgainElectronics

"Roast my playing all you want. Just wanted to get some sound demos of the custom SEM voice (filter) chips in this Roland Juno-106 that I’m selling. The resonance is gnarly in the top end when pushed to self oscillation. This can make for some really cool effects. But not perfect of course. This synth was never meant to be SEM’d!"
