Tama Techstar 305 Demo

100 Things I Do
Published on Aug 5, 2017

"The Tama Techstar 305 was one in the line of many similar Tama Drum brains from the 1980's.

While it can give some pretty decent sounds the filter implementation does limit it a little. The tone range also does not go as high as the Simmons so you don't get as much downward bounce on 'those 80's synth toms'. The snap\click is also very different. The attack is VERY aggressive at its top setting as you will hear.

For those interested (and that read comments :D ) I have provided a small sample pack for you to download and use. Last time I did this my storage was flooded... fingers crossed this time it stands up a little better!

If you grab one of sample packs please leave a comment, I would like to do more sample packs of synths/drums found and ambient sounds.. let me know what you think.. :D

031517 - Swing/Shuffle Super Saw Synth Jam: Arp Odyssey - Roland Boutique JP-08 - Tama TS305

Published on Mar 16, 2017 R E : S o u n d

"All tracks recorded live, in a single take, with no mixing, editing, or post-production done after the fact.

In a seires of firsts, I decided to make sort of a super saw patch on my JP-08, experiment with the swing feature on the BeatStep Pro, and jam on a less ambient piece with a faster, more upbeat tempo. I tried to keep this one a bit shorter (about 2 1/2 minutes), as it's a little more repetitive than the slower stuff.

The super saw patch is dual layer, slightly detuned on three of the four oscillators, with some cross modulation and delayed LFO to pitch modulation on one layer for movement. I then ran the signal through an Electrix Filter Factory on 12dB/oct LPF. Sequeced by BeatStep Pro via MIDI.

The bass line is handled by the Odyssey, with some LFO to LPF modulation added in for a bit. Sequenced by BeatStep Pro via MIDI.

The drums are coming from a Tama Techstar TS305, triggered from the drum CV gate outs on the BeatStep Pro drum sequence into the TS305's individual trigger inputs.

Mixed on PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2, with a bit of reverb and delay added, with the mix headphone output sent directly into my GoPro. There is also some of the mic on my phone mixed in because I didn't know until afterward that the headphone line on the mixer wasn't plugged all the way in, which left me with my awesome stereo mix signal being smashed into mono and coming only from the left channel. So, apologies for the poor audio. Video recorded on GoPro Hero 2 and iPhone 7s Plus, edited in iMovie on my iPhone.

Enjoy."

"This is a Tama Techstar TAM 500 5 channel analog drum synthesizer.
This specific model is EXTREMELY rare. Has a beautiful analog sound. To my taste, it sounds way better than the Techstar TS series.
The unit it is fully functional.
Has a trigger input for each channel, individual outputs, mono mix out and headphones output.

In the video, the drum synth was triggered by an external sequencer. You can either use a trigger sequencer or drum pads with trigger out to trigger the unit."

Circuitbenders TAMA TECHSTAR TS305 Mod Details

Details on the mods featured yesterday are now available on the Circuitbenders website.

Modified TAMA TECHSTAR TS305 Beats.

Published on Aug 25, 2015 circuitbenders.co.uk

"Mods include an LFO with pulse and continuously variable saw up/triangle/saw down outputs, with a LFO range switch that takes its speed well into audio frequencies.

On each of 4 channels theres a percussion decay long/short/constant tone switch, VCO frequency modulation source switch (audio or LFO), LFO waveform switch (pulse or saw/tri), VCO FM amount knob, and a VCO pitch range hi/low switch.

The VCO frequency of each channel can be modulated either using the LFO or the output of the overall audio source selection switch. This rotary switch chooses between sourcing the audio modulation signal from the output of any of the six channels, including the channel being modulated for FM feedback loops, or an external audio input."

Update:

Modified TAMA TECHSTAR TS305 drone & cross modulation

Published on Aug 25, 2015

"On this demo the four modded channels are all set to produce a constant tone, and are then their VCO frequencies are modulated with each other and the LFO"

Update: some details on the mods via Circuitbenders where you'll find more pics & info.

"The new version of these mods is based on the previous version, but expands on version one to give more in depth control and a lot more possibilities for modulated analogue percussion weirdness.

The LFO retains the same basic design, but also provides a new range switch that selects between the normal speed settings provided by the previous mods, and a super fast speed range that takes the LFO rate well into audio frequencies for all kind of insane 1950's sci-fi frequency modulation effects. The LFO still outputs pulse and saw/triangle waveforms, but on the new mods you get a separate LFO waveform selection switch on each modded channel, instead of a single overall waveform switch that is applied to all channels simultaneously.

Each modified channel now includes:

Decay range switch: As before, this sets the range of the decay knob, but it now has three positions instead of two. With the switch set upwards the decay knob range of the percussion tones is set to normal. With it switched downwards the range of the knob is extended to take over where the normal range left off at its lowest setting, and give a lot longer decay times at maximum. With the switch in its central position the channel will output a constant VCO tone with the pitch set by the channels tune knob. Any channel with its decay switch set to the tone position can either be kicked into life with a trigger input, or if its left to its own devices the tone volume will eventually rise on its own.

LFO Shape switch: As explained above, this switch selects the VCO LFO waveform independently for each channel. The choices are pulse or saw / triangle

VCO FM Source switch: The VCO frequency of each channel can be modulated either using the LFO, or with an audio source provided by the audio source rotary switch (see below). This switch selects between the two options.

Moded Tama Techstar TS305

VCF FM Amount: This is a new knob on each channel that independently sets the amount of frequency modulation that is applied to that channels VCO. Anything from subtle vibrato or warbling Theremin like tones, to extreme cross modulation effects that wouldn't be out of place on the Forbidden Planet sound track, can be achieved using the VCO FM mod.

Tune Range switch: As before, this sets the range of the VCO tuning knob, but with some minor adjustments to give a better range and response curve than before.

modified Tama Techstar v2

The new audio source rotary switch determines where the input for the audio setting of the channel VCO FM switches is sourced from. The audio modulation signal can be sourced from the output of any channel, or an external audio input. The output of a channel can be used to modulate its own VCO frequency for some bizarre frequency modulation feedback sounds.

The audio output of each channel is sourced before the channels output volume knob, so its entirely possible to do things like setting up one channel to output a constant VCO tone, then turn down the volume on that channel, but still use the that tone to modulate the VCO frequency of other channels. Alternatively you could produce an audible percussion sound on one channel and then use a muted sound on another channel to mutate the first channels sound on accented beats, kind of like you might use a side chain input on a compressor. Use the LFO to slightly modulate the muted sound and you've got an infinite variety of evolving hits and accents."

"The TS204 is vintage two channel percussion brain with one analog synthesizer channel and one analog clap channel. This is the inexpensive way to get both the Boss Percussion Synthesizer and Clap pedals--the circuits and controls are the same. The TS204 is an ideal expander for the Roland TR-606, giving you an 808-style clap and a drum synth channel capable of huge bass drum sounds or Synare-style filtered snare sounds."

"· The Synth voice has nine knobs that give you total control over a variety of parameters you can set to create anything from a booming bass to piercing high bleeps and beeps

· The Hand Clap is an awesome electronic clap like the Roland/Boss machines are known for, and can be manipulated with a few knobs as well
· The voices are triggered by either plugging an electronic drum pad into a “trigger” jack for either voice on the back of the unit; or, by plugging any drum machine, synth, noise maker’s output to the input jack for each voice
· Two rack-spaces tall
· Totally analog electronic pathway and REALLY fun to play wit"

Drumfire DF-2000 - Rare Vintage Analog Drum Synthesizer & Matching Drum Kit

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

via this auction

"Fitst off it is really rare to find these unit's & especially with the matching Drumfire drum kit. A rare electronic drum synthesizer made in Japan in the 80's. This 2-channel unit is considered to be the best sounding and most versatile of the vintage synth drum machines.

Quite a range of sounds can be made as you can see by all the various editable parameters, each channel has 2 oscillators with adjustable decay for each, pitch, sweep, and a waveshape control. That can be mixed with a noise generator with filter, adjustable decay, and amount. Plus, a button to engage a click sound. It can make all the sounds that the DF-500 unit can and more as the 500 only has 1 oscillator and does not have variable waveshape or noise filter.

A very nice feature is that a user preset can be programmed for each channel. This is done with the small black plastic shaft pots to the right of the colored knobs for each parameter. They are used to adjust the respective parameter, just like the bigger 'manual' pot, and when the button is pressed for preset, those are the sounds settings. Basically, you can switch between two sounds - "Manual" based on the settings of the big knobs, and "Preset" based on the settings of the little black ones.

This unit can pretty much sound like a Simmons, Tama Techstar, and more. You can get sub bass, 808/909-ish kicks, toms, snares, space drums, bleeps & fx, and cymbal type sounds with the noise generator."
