Tr 808 vs Tr 08 - Which is better?

Published on Oct 4, 2017 soundseasy

"We were lucky enough to get our hands on a classic TR 808 and put it side by side with the new TR-08.
Now before we start a chin stroking drum machine war, let me just say that the original is the original, and no matter how good the remake is there's something magical about this big metal box with it's clunky buttons that seem more at home on a push button telephone from the 80's, rather than a ground breaking, genre spanning rhythm machine.
but the question really has more to do with whether the TR-08 can satisfy your 808 desires, without forking out close to $5000.00AUD for a second hand one!!!

The 808 we had was very well cared for, but it didn't change the fact that it's a VERY old piece of gear, unfortunately drum machines aren't like a stradivarius, they don't exactly get better with age. so there are a some crackly pots and wayward tuning issues, but I wont lie, it was a real buzz hearing an original 808 going through it's paces, and maybe if I had the $$'s I might talk myself into getting one.

The TR-08 definitely held its own though. In reality I could have spent a little more time tuning it to match the 808 (because thankfully you can with this incarnation) but I felt that it definitely possessed the same characteristics of the old classic, and so it should, it's been modeled directly, from what I would assume, is a beautifully cared for original 808 stored deep within the vaults at Roland.

In reality the TR-08 probably sounds like how most of the original 808's sounded straight out of the box.
Before the ravages of time started adding their sonic quirks into the mix. But who knows?

So in closing would I by a TR-08 as an 808 substitute? Damn right I would! It's worth every penny!

But if I win the lottery I'm heading straight to ebay to get me an original too!"

This El Capistan is version one, discontinued and that means that it has no internal jumper to switch from input mono to stereo, and also the foot switches have the click and hard enough to be pressed with finger.

Modular Workshop - Live @ Analogue Zone Showroom E06

Streamed live 49 minutes ago Analogue Zone Showroom / Synths and Studio

"In this week's episode Ramin will be a somelier of one of the most famous and oldest concepts in synthesizer music, that is, lowpass gates. We will hear how the older and more modern versions of these tone and amplitude control modules differ from one another. Ramin also plans to go deeper with the Shapeshifter's different parameters. Also, he is going to explore the Morphagene's other sample manipulating parameters in a muscial context. Stay tuned and join us in the chatroom on Wednesday!

Modular Workshop is a weekly live series from the Analogue Zone Budapest showroom with our experienced modular electronic music performer & friend, Ramin Sayyah. The series was created in order to introduce either one particular module or a very special selection of module-combinations to make various kinds of music with them.

A new episode is streamed live every Wednesday on Analogue Zone's Youtube channel. After a short live performance, Ramin walks us through the building blocks of the patch and answers any questions raised by the viewers.

Tune in every Wednesday afternoon for the show and feel free to ask questions directly during the live stream - also let us know if you want to pay a visit to the showroom during the live show: we can accept a few guests too.

THYME Effects Processor Now Available

Published on Oct 4, 2017 Bastl Instruments

"The Thyme is an effects processor that is best described as a sequenceable robot operated digital tape machine. With a lot of parameters at hand it enables the exploration of all the time based effects and the vast space in between their classical multi-effects categories and in stereo!"

You can find previous posts featuring Bastl Instruments THYTME here.

And the press release:

"THYME is out! The sequenceable robot operated digital tape machine?!

We are excited to finally announce that Thyme - the effects processor of our dreams - is now available to the world! We started working on the machine more than 3 years ago and we can proudly say it is our most ambitious project yet and sets new standards of quality and craziness. The wooden sides and mat black aluminum panels with laser engraved graphics are beautiful and durable. Our search for the perfect housing caused extensive delays but we can confidently say it was worth the wait! From the first announcement at Musik Messe 2015 we have reworked the hardware architecture from top to bottom to meet the high quality demands of today's musicians.

The Thyme is an effects processor that is best described as a sequenceable robot operated digital tape machine. With loads of parameters to tweak it invites users to explore a wide range of time based audio effects as well as the vast space in between their classical multi-effects categories (delay, phaser, reverb, chorus, pitch shifter, multi-tap delay, tape delay, tremolo, vibrato, compressor) and it’s all in stereo! Each of the 9 different parameters (Tape Speed, Delay Coarse & Fine, Feedback, Filter, extra heads Spacing and Levels, Dry/Wet Mix and Volume) has a dedicated modulation source – called the Robot – which can be adjusted separately for left and right channels to create exciting new sound effects. The Robot can function as a multi shaped LFO, an external CV source or an envelope follower which uses the external audio signal as a control source. On top of all that there are 8 buttons for selecting presets which can then be sequenced by a built in meta sequencer. The Robots, the sequencer and the Delay can be synchronised to external or internal clock. Thyme interfaces with MIDI, analog clock and CV, it has a switchable stereo/mono input, stereo output, adjustable headphone output and a footswitch jack.

The NDLR - a MODULATION demo with easy to see and hear notes

Published on Oct 3, 2017 Conductive Labs

"We are using an iPAD app called midiLFO to modulated The NDLR's PAD settings using MIDI CC messages. We plugged the iPAD into The NDLR using a 5 Pin MIDI cable. The midiLFO app MIDI output is set to channel 16 and so is the NDLR CC Cntrl input (set in the MIDI menu). There are 3 MIDI CC "LFOs" going at the same time, modulating three different PAD parameters on the NDLR, Position, Range, & Velocity. Most all NDLR feature values are available via CC messages.

In addition to receiving MIDI CC messages, this functionality will also be built in to The NDLR through the modulation matrix. The NDLR has 3 MIDI LFOs and 2 Probability sources. These sources can be mapped internally to most all NDLR feature values and externally to MIDI CC destinations for modulating synth parameters like filter cutoff & PWM, etc. Please see the menu graphics on the Kickstarter page for the Mod Matrix options."

Note The NDLR has reached funding goals on kickstarter.

Playlist:
1. Channel Intro

2. "Diper lord" - Novation Peak, Elektron Digitakt, Rytm, A4, Op-1, Monologue, KaossPad, Mother 32

I've swapped the DSI Pro2 for the Novation Peak. Really loving the sound of it, but barely scratching the surface so far. Also added the push to the mix, to be able to play the peak. The idea is to jam the peak on the push, and then later let the digitakt control it, but i've yet to reconnect everything with the midi thru box i recently got. Maybe for the next one ! Just wanted to get this out the door, enjoy !

3. "Purse Whisperer" - Dsi Pro2, Elektron Digitakt, Rytm, A4, Op-1, Korg Monologue, KaossPad, Mother 32

Not really sure what is going on here, but i like it.

4. "Crude Mint" - Dsi Pro2, Elektron Digitakt, Rytm, A4, Op-1, Korg Monologue, KaossPad, Mother 32

9. "Empty Yesterdays" Elektron Digitakt, Rytm, A4, Op-1, Mother 32, KORG monologue

Trying out the DIGITAKT in my setup, clock is sent via USB from my main imac (Ableton) to analog4, which then controls the rytm through midi out. The rytm midi thru, goes to mother32. The op-1 gets the clock from my second mac via usb, which in its turn gets the clock via Abeton Link, and so does the ipad with the elastic drums ipad app. Digitakt also gets the clock from the USB of the macbook, and is controlling the monologue program changes and CC messages through midi out, as well as playing a few samples. Everything goes through the soundcraft spririt studio 24ch mixer, SPL Dynamaxx & Charsima. with TLA Ivory2 EQ on the master, and Line6 POD XT pro as an aux send for the mixer. Recorded with gopro session. (Yes i need to get a better camera and lighting conditions)

"The PLL, from Elta Music, is a replica of the Schumann PLL, an analog harmonic synthesizer. It turns your input signal into a square wave, and then multiplies or divides the frequency of that square wave, providing overtones and undertones from the original pitch, with extreme timbral intensity. The signal can be multiplied and divided simultaneously, providing an effect like chords. The tracking of the pedal can be adjusted according to the loop track control.
