my last roland mc303 jam

YouTube via spooloops.
"I decided to sell my old roland mc303 so I fired it up and made this pattern to test it out. Then I drank a little to much beer and decided to video it. My wife thinks I'm hilarious and she is probably the only girl who will ever see this. The video stops short of the audio.
+ this mc303 has a gold tooth & custom knobs
+ this is a fast tempo for me"

Acid hoedown sans TB-303

YouTube via darenager, aka fierce fish.
"Very rough mix of a track from my forthcoming album. I got a new synth yesterday (an MFB SynthII, if you are interested) and thought I'd try it out instead of my tb-303 on this track, to see if it had acid potential. It is being sequenced by my korg emx, which is also providing the drums and the synth parts.

The finished track will sound much better as I rushed this mix and some parts are a bit loud. If you like it check out my other tracks and look out for some more coming soon."

Programming the Rhodes Chroma

via jesper

Note she is using the Doepfer Drehbank to program the Chroma with the CC+ processor upgrade. You can't do that with a stock Chroma.

Note the blue Sidstation

Update: and here she is again! I thought she looked familiar. BTW, if you tried to click on the jesper link earlier and it did not work, I just corrected it. Apologies for that. Also there's more info on the blue Sidstaion and other interesting bits from jesper in the comments.
