Ride by side (Roland MT 100)

Published on Oct 21, 2012 by MEGASYNTH1
"This is a song created completely with the Roland MT 100 as the source sound module with simple effects like phaser, reverb, and delay added to a few parts. The effects and sequencing were all done on Reason 6.5. White noise sounds were added with an Osc. from Thor.

Sadly half way through recording I realized I had recorded the MT 100 completely in mono, so to keep things consistent I created a mono song. The Roland MT 100 is stereo capable and sounds beautiful in both mono and stereo.

Ride by side was a product of me trying to bring out the life of the Roland MT 100 the way it might have been used back in the 80's, which I kept in mind when I put the song together. I wanted to give the listener the fell of riding something fun down hill on a sunny day."

Squid Racing (Meeblip Se Demo)

Published on Sep 10, 2012 by MEGASYNTH1

"This is a Song I made with the Meeblip Se and a Yamaha DD6 Drum module, with the Korg Monotron-Duo appearing briefly at 1:08 but it is still 90% Meeblip! I tried to show off some of the possible sounds that could be made with the meeblip, focusing on funky presets as well as "8-bit" type sounds. I used Reason to Sequence and record the Meeblip as well as to add some delay and reverb here and there.

Check out my Bandcamp page for more music,
Thanks for listening."

Meeblip SE Demo

Published on Jun 21, 2012 by MEGASYNTH1

"This is a short demo of some of the Meeblip SE's capabilities that I wanted to show. The track was made with only the Meeblip SE, a kick drum from a Korg Electribe emx1 and sequencing done in Reason with the Electribe for some parts. The other drum hits were made on the Meeblip with a noise osc. Extremely minimal processing was used."

The Fall Limited Edition MeeBlip SE is shipping.

The round encoders set the gravity,mass & spinning speed of the blue balls, as well as opening & closing the Tombola.

By hitting the keys we are dropping notes into the sequencer."

Korg Monotribe VCO mod - FM, ringmod, sync type sounds possible

Published on Dec 4, 2012 by darenager
"New mod for the Monotribe, this one adds a lot of sound making potential, it is still in the prototype stage but hopefully the video will give an idea of the kinds of sounds you can make, from sub osc to FM, ringmod and sync type sounds. Final features may change on kits.

The first pot controls pitch, the first switch controls range low/normal/mid, the second pot controls level, and the second switch controls mode1/off/mode2. Great for drones, and weird techno sounds, you can also coax some semi realistic instrument sounds such as bass guitar and trumpet if you want. This is by no means an exhaustive demo, more and better demos will follow later. Sub to my channel if interested.

I hope to have these available as an easy DIY fit kit in early 2013, you will need to drill holes and solder 4 wires to install, check out my other Monotribe mod kits, more are coming soon and check out my blog monotribemods.blogspot.co.uk"

"This is Sexist"

"This is a great WORKING Roland SH-3 (not 3A) vintage analouge synth, but is in need of a great deal of loving cleanup and a pot cleaning to truly shine. This synth made its way from Minnesota (see picture five) to San Francisco where it was used by the bands Filboid Studge, fognozzle, The Sleeze Band, and Hot Knife (at which time it acquired its charming coating of stickers). Give this the TLC it needs and you will have a great machine..."
