+ CH#2: Drums (ZaynAddSubFX)
+ CH#3: Analog Bass (ZynAddSubFX)

Roland CMU-800R w/ Radio Junkbox MIDI-IF Box & CV Out x 8

Published on Nov 28, 2017 Owen D RhythmDial

"Radio Junkbox midi box makes the CMU easily run by MIDI as shown here run by my Zaquencer. Drums from CMU run thru Vestafire distortions, synth parts just EQd and swept in Allen&Heath mixer, SpartaDelay and ZOOM reverb used in spots too."

The CMU-800R normally requires software and a vintage Apple II to work. The Junkbox MIDI-IF Box replaces that.

via this auction

"Nice condition vintage Roland CMU-800R and a MIDI-IF box from Radio Junkbox out of Japan that plugs into the weird super wide SCSI style original CMU cable and gives this unit great functionality by MIDI.

Individual audio outputs and main mix output.
Faders for audio levels work well for main mix adjustments.
Synth parts controls work well (decay, sustain)
8 channels of CV/Gate output based on MIDI channel inputs.
Power is 117v US power.
MIDI-IF box is awesome, includes its own 5V mini wall wart power supply, also sends out DINsync from incoming MIDI clock. Manual included for MIDI-IF box.

Sounds great too! Drums are very TR-606 like in circuitry and sound. The bass part is nice and full, deep and solid. The melody and chord part are similar sounding but chord part can play 4-note polyphony on its own. The synth parts are weak in their adjustment vs synths like the classic juno-106 but I’ve found adding fx like ring mod or resonant filters to them in eurorack or various rack units livens these parts up very well."

RK-002 Zaquencer

Published on Sep 15, 2016 Retrokits

The ZAQ RK-2000 appears to be a custom cased Beringer BCR2000.

"A little demo of the Zaquencer / RK-002 controlling the Volca Sample.

Sequencer 3 & 4 are used on the same midi channel (sent to the Volca Sample). 4 is set to drum mode, 3 is set to note mode.

The a. parameter of the Zaquencer is set to send out program changes so I can change the Volca Sample's channel which is under chromatic control.

At 1:30 I start the chromatic part and at 1:44 I start changing the Chromatic Sample Channel.

Volca Sample and Volca Keys are merged with the RK-003 and recorded in Ableton, adding some compression and filtered delay."

Other than the time it takes to set up Zaquencer (not long really) and a few practice runs this is a single take no post processing type jam. Audio was recorded on a Zoom H1.

Zaquencer Jam #1 (Feb 28 2016)

Published on Feb 28, 2016 stereofect

"The idea here was to make a Dark Ambient type drone track using the standalone sequencer program ZAQuencer.

ZAQuencer is sequencing a Blofeld and TX7 while I transpose the sequence with a Launchkey49 and play with the controls on the Bass StationII. LoopyHD (running some pre-made loops) is slaved to the ZAQ clock. I mix it all real-time on the BX8. I use an Alesis Wedge and TC Electronic Hall of Fame for FX. The whole setup is standalone. Single take, no overdubs.

Cheers!!"

Zaquencer Version 1.03 Update Adds Pendulum Mode & Sysex Import/Export

"Zaquencer Version 1.03 has been released!

This update adds the “pendulum” direction mode and adds the ability to import/export your patterns and global settings as SysEx files.

This SysEx feature can e.g. be used for:
- backup of patterns/settings
- switching of global settings for different setups
 (live or studio)
- mirroring patterns to a second Zaquencer as a backup (for live)
- exchange of patterns with collaborators


For the SysEx feature the free & open source utility app Zaquencer Preset Manager has been created. So far this allows validating Zaquencer SysEx files after export with more functionality to come.

If you already own the Zaquencer, you´ll find the download of the 1.03 full version in your account for free.
The Demo and Manual have also been updated.
