Make Music Day: Erica Synths and Elektron featuring Perkons HD-01, Octatrack and Analog Heat+FX


video upload by Group Technologies Australasia

"Here's our little jam for Make Music Day using the Perkons HD-01 from Erica Synths, along with Elektron Octatrack and Analog Heat+FX. What music are you making?

In this video the Perkons is running into the Octatrack, which is live sampling and re-slicing the Perkons' audio. All audio is being processed by the Analog Heat+FX whilst adding a little reverb too."

"Are you looking for something a bit more special to exhibit in your studio space?
For sale is a unique, ultra rare analogue Drum Machine from the late 1970's.

I got it from an elderly gentlemen who worked for the BBC as an electronic engineer in the early 1980’s.

Everything as far as I can tell seems to be working including all of the red LEDs.

It recently had been converted from a much older round bacalite power connector in the back to an IEC standard connector.

I have no way of testing the multi-pin connectors on the back, which have been installed st the time to connect the machine with multicore looms!

It has eight trigger inputs and eight separate line outputs on XLRs and also a stereo monitor output on a DIN plug (I will supply the DIN plug adaptor)....

This drum synthesiser looks like it could have been a custom built drum machine for Kraftwerk's own KlingKlang recording studio! ;-)

It is actually a drum synthesiser with eight seperate instruments and controls for the instruments like a more modern drum synthesiser not unlike like a Vermona DRM for example, but obviously in a much larger console shaped enclosure.

This is from the earlier days of electronic music where some engineer tried to combine the preset beat-boxes of the time with eight oscillators, that have basic sawtooth, sinus and triangle waveforms and with white noise generators that were triggered by those preset rhythms or via the trigger inputs in the back. Various rhythm presets which were common at the time and some permutations are selectable. Also several presets can be selected at the same time which make a lot of variations possible.

You can get some basic beat box sounds like many other drum machines from the 60's and 70's, but also disco toms (Ring My Bell) if you tune the oscillators. The oscillators go up into the sonic spectrum so you get some very robotic sounds out of the machine too, but settings need to be selected carefully and with some patience.

LFO, VCO and Noise generators can be individually switched on and off per channel.

I would say that the oscillators and the options remind me a little bit of something like let's say the options of what a Coron DS drum synthesiser from the mid 80's had to offer.

A real focal point in ANY studio setup!

This is piece of memorabilia from a bygone area of early electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk, Cluster, Harmonia, Ashra, Popul Vul, etc.

Cosmetically speaking the drum synthesiser is in excellent condition and hasn’t been moved around much and it shows.

The fourth photo shows the drum synthesiser without any of the knobs.

The dimensions are 55x 47x x29cm and it's about 20kg, so pretty heavy....

Here is a link to a quick sound sample of the RME drum machine that I recorded this afternoon. No EQ or compression was used. [Soundcloud here]

This sound sample is taken from the stereo monitor output section which splits instruments 1-4 to the left side and instruments 5-8 to the right side."

Roland MKS-7 Epic SYNTH Demo | Juno 106 in a RACK!


video upload by Mamotreco

"Playing the Roland MKS-7 Super Quartet analog synth in 6-voice "whole mode" (where the Chord and Melody parts are triggered together). Patches are all made using the Ctrlr VST. I used a couple of @EspenKraft Juno 106 patches as a starting point and modified them further myself.
#rolandsynth #analogsynth #rolandmks7

NOTE: The Roland MKS-7 accepts Roland Juno 106 patches but the VCA may run a bit hot. You may to turn VCA values down to avoid distortion.

Linn LM1 Ipad beats - part 2: Mama by Harlem Nights


video upload by harlemnightsmusic

"A new series of 80s tracks, the beats selected and remade by ear using an iPad, with Grooverider GR16 app, and my Linn drummachine samples.

Used my Roland Juno 106 loosely recreating synth parts, just like in my old Korg Electribe SX series.

And yes that's the Linndrum LM2 in the background, not an LM1.

Tracklist:
- Genesis - Mama
- Herbie Hancock - Textures
- Michael Jackson - Human Nature
- Prince - If I Was Your Girlfriend
- Hall & Oates - Maneater

ESK - 9x Syntrx Soundscape


video upload by Metunar

"A noisy wild soundscape improvised with 8 recorded and looped Erica Synths Syntrx tracks, played from the Akai MPC X and a live played and looped Syntrx track.
I used a lot of the Syntrx ringmodulation together with an external functiongenerator (Trio AG-203). With mastering.

A #WebMidi editor for old #Yamaha XG #synthesizers, explained


video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Thanks to ELECROW for providing the screen used in this project https://www.elecrow.com/elecrow-7-9-i... - Yamaha's XG devices can do a lot of #synthesizer stuff you never expected them to do - because, for some reason, their UI never gives you full access to the synth engine. Their MIDI CC / NPRN / SYSEX implementation, however, does. So I started writing a HTML5 / WebMidi based touch optimized editor for those old boxes mainly to make this video. You can find the editor here: https://github.com/mrfloydst/webxgmidi
