8/6/23 Roland SBX-80 plays its metronome and pings General Radio 1564-A + Univox ProVerb

video upload by Cfpp0

"The Roland SBX-80 does a lot—SMPTE, for one thing, but it gives you clock on TS, clock on DinSync, clock on MIDI, manual tap tempo, and so on. It was the master clock around here until Pamela’s New Workout took over. The SBX-80 looks like a 909, and has a cool numerical grid of buttons like the old keyboards (back when mice had wires). Here the SBX-80 is playing its metronome at a lugubrious 20bpm. SBX-80 metronome audio out to Univox ProVerb for some spring reverb. SBX-80 time base out to audio input on General Radio 1564-A Sound & Vibration Analyzer, with band level at 70 3mV, then 60 1mV, then 50 .3mV, with bandwidth at 1/10th octave, and frequency at 3.5, then 4, and back."

Roland SBX-80 SYNC BOX

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Great sync box for making your vintage (and not so) drum boxes, rhythm machines, sequencers, samplers, keyboards, synths, midi sound modules, tape machines, etc. talk to one another.
Shows cosmetic wear, but overall in good shape. (The last image is a digital advert for informational purposes).

The unit appears to work well with the following exceptions — the light in the ‘start' / 'tap' does not light up, but the button works well; the ‘set sec’ button does light up, but the button does not work (may just need a good cleaning); the two smaller rubber feet on the bottom are old / feel sticky; unit is missing 1 rubber foot which has been replaced with felt foot. Unit is older, used, and sold as-is.

Includes power cable. (and yes, has the plastic battery holder inside with two healthy AAs included).

From the web —
'Synchronize MIDI, SMPTE tape machines and Roland DIN sync for X0X machines.'"

STG Corn Maize

Published on Oct 21, 2017 suitandtieguy

"I have been wrestling with some personal issues in regards to loss and isolation, and one of the things which will help me out of this is generating more content, so I'm trying something new.

We used to use Soundcloud for short tracks but since it's obvious they took inspiration from Tyco and spent all their money on solid gold toilet seats they are useless and bankrupt now. I'll start throwing stuff here and echoing it elsewhere and when I get enough tracks put them on Bandcamp in an album. Seems like an appropriate approach for the current year.

I wasn't 'making a track' when I recorded this, I just wanted to test the SD recorder I installed in my live rig. I quickly made marimba and pad loops with the Yamaha Reface DX and the Boss RC-202 it feeds, and a bass line from the Hammond XK-1c and its RC-505 (I love those Boss loopers.) The drums are just whatever was on the "808" TR-8 when I pulled it up on the mixer. Then I wailed a bit over it with the Moog Sub37 on the factory preset 'STG Liberatn Lead 2003.' My master clock is the Roland SBX-1.

After a few minutes I hit stop, pulled the SD card out, and took it over to the studio computer to see how well it recorded. I had intended to just put the card back in the machine and reformat it but there was a good three minutes there and it seemed a shame to throw it in the bin.

The video is from an outing with my sister's children at the local orchard. They have a seasonal corn maze and in my fall fervour it seemed like a good idea to get the camera out. Sorry film nerds, I left the Steadicam at home!

Reverb note: a couple minutes in the reverb (Lexicon PCM-80) on the TR-8 gets way louder. I didn't reach over and adjust that, it was a defective cable. I pulled out the 8 year old moulded TRS cable and put a new Hosa in its place and it's fine now. Was kind of cool here though ..."

Disco Bassline with the SH-101, Linn 9000, TR-606.

Published on Jun 28, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"This demo is of the Roland SH-101 (doing the bassline), Linn 9000 (most of the drums, including kick, congas, tamb, etc) and Roland TR-606 (high hats, cymbals, snare). Each piece of gear is running off of it's own sequencer with the Roland SBX-80 providing the master clock. There is a slight bit of Korg MS-20m doing a randomized arpeggio, which is connected to a Mutable Instruments MIDIpal. The delay used is the Boss DM-2w, the mixer is the Roland M-16E, and the audio interface is the Roland Super UA."

Waldorf Pulse and Linn 9000 demo by Jordan Passmore

Published on Jun 22, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"This demo features the Waldorf Pulse synthesizer and Linn 9000 drum machine/sequencer/sampler. The master clock is a Roland SBX-80 which is clocking bother the Linn 9000 and a Korg SQ-1 sequencer. The SQ-1 is sequencing the Waldorf Pulse. There are no effects in this video and no EQ."

SH-101/TR-606/Dark Energy Audio Demo by Jordan Passmore

SH-101/ Melody
TR-606/ Drums
Dark Energy/ Bass Drone

"SBX-80 is syncing all sequencers (the SH-101's internal sequencer and the MIDIpal, which is sequencing the Dark Energy). All sources were mixed on an Ace Tone MP-40 with an extreme amount of it's internal spring reverb applied to the bass and melody. Final mix was sent to my Fireface 800 and recorded inside of Ableton."

XBASE 888 (Digital-side), SH-101, CMU-800 demo by Jordan Passmore

Published on May 3, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"This demo is of the JoMoX XBASE 888 (utilizing solely the digital, sample-based side of the drum machine, rather than the analog voices), Roland SH-101 (doing the bassline), and Roland CMU-800 (with the arpeggio melody). The Mutable Instruments MIDIpal is sequencing the CMU and the Roland SH-101 is running off of it's own sequencer. A Roland SBX-80 is the master clock, sending MIDI clock to the XBASE and MIDIpal and triggers to the SH-101's trigger in. The mixer is a Roland M-16E and the only effect is the Boss DM-2w analog delay.

I uploaded my own samples into the XBASE 888; a mix of LinnDrum and Oberheim DMX samples. The XBASE has an 8-bit sample playback engine for 6 of it's voices and they can either be one of the stock 808/909ish samples or user uploads (via the JoMoX Win/OSX utility)."

[caknobs] TAM500 Minimal (TAMA TECHSTAR TAM500 & TR-606 session)

Published on May 9, 2013 Caknobs·41 videos

"5オシレーターのアナログエレドラ音源、1985年発売のTAM500を入手しました­。こんなものが手に入るとは思っていなかったので非常に嬉しい！パッドを繋いでいわゆ­るドラムセットの形態で演奏するのが一般的な使い方ですが、今回はTR-606とTR­-727のトリガーアウトを使って発音させたミニマルテクノ的な音声です。

I obtained the TAM500 at "Hardoff(second-hand shop)" in Japan. I who was able to meet with this machine was very fortunate. This machine can make a incredible
groove, if knobs are twiddling in real time.
