"TetraMaps synced to midi clock from the Machinedrum. TetraMaps sequences Flame Talking Synth and the modular synth. Not very musically interesting, but a simple demonstration of the TetraMaps used with midi and analog CV gear. Space Echo thrown in at end for fun."

Korg KPR-77 How To Initialize and Record a Pattern

YouTube via 123synthland. 123synthland on Ebay
"As professional vintage synth dealers, we buy and sell KPR-77 drum machines from time to time. It's a fun little machine. The pattern write procedure isn't immediately obvious to those who are unfamiliar, so we thought it would be nice to post a video showing how to initialize and write a pattern.
Chris Wareham's posted more complete instructions for pattern and song writing here: http://www.chriswareham.demon.co.uk/k... Enjoy! Mini. http://www.tonetweakers.com"

Filmed by Maf Lewis during the making of Tara Busch's debut album, "Pilfershire Lane" here's Mike Walters giving us some "parenting tips" with his Minimoog. Kids are great, arent they?"

Odd side note: Literally right before I saw this post on Analog Suicide and decided to post this video, I was cleaning out my wallet. I decided to gather all my synth related business cards to display them in the studio. Well... I remembered I might have some in a dresser drawer. I went through the drawer and sure enough found this business card from Mike Walter's Mystery Circuits from years ago! I sat down in front of my laptop, stacked my cards with this one on top, and decided to check my blog feed. Sitting right there is Tara's post with the Mike Walters video!!! Small world...
