RD 909 ! Prototype Not Ready Quite YET z8

Published on Jan 26, 2019 VJ FRANZ K

No audio. Just posting for the visual.

"You can't hear it, but the outside is complete. It's similar to the RD808 in the previous videos, but has the 909 "Computer Key" buttons on the Step Sequencer as it should. This was inspired by of my favorite classic drum machines, so I am looking forward to playing it!"

New RD 808 ! Drum Machine "It Clicked With Me" (Room Audio) z14

Published on Jan 25, 2019 VJ FRANZ K

"This is a prototype of the Berhinger 808 (much talked about) that I got to try at Music Tribe, and they approved my filming it for you to see! I liked it overall.
This recording was the audio in the room (see my other videos with Direct Audio) so you can also hear the sound of the keys: The Step Sequencer buttons are "clicky" with a slightly soft action. The other buttons are standard rubber "groovebox" feel. The knobs have a solid feel, and are rubberized. The unit is metal and plastic with a medium weight. (Better than playing a drum machine that's too small! B - ) Yes, the 808 has those clicky RS sounds, which are one of my favorites."

808 DAY DELUGE! 100% TR808 Sounds make a song. IDM / HOUSE z9

Published on Aug 9, 2018 VJ FRANZ K

"The song is 'Jingle Jangle', from my 2001 album, on 8/08 2018, I remade it using the Deluge. This song uses the 808 Cowbell sound with different pitches as the synth notes! Other various sounds ( Such as Linn Drum ) were in the original, but for this day, I remade it ONLY with 808 samples - even the "desert wind" sound was the cymbal noise being filtered!
If you're good enough with a sampler, any small collection of samples should be enough to make something interesting!
Challenge Yourself!"

With the Synthstrom Deluge. A bit Duran Duran meets Depeche Mode.

"This song is from my 2001 album, it's time to practice it now for this new machine, get ready to perform again!

I don't know if this sounds good or not - what's your opinion?
( yes, the audio was a little overloaded. )

The hardest thing to judge is the sound of your own voice."

Here is my example, using my synthwave song in progress 'Deflectors'. The machine shown is Synthstrom Deluge, but it could easily be an Electribe or MPC, etc. - the method is the same."

One remarkable feature of GR-16 is that all the controls are arranged on one screen, just like on a real groove box device! It lets you access almost all useful parameters from the one screen.

Groove Rider is also very handy for quickly sketching your musical ideas, allowing you to instantly record them directly by using the Record function.
