"Firecracker" (by YMO) - played on an ARP Axxe


YouTube Uploaded by EnvelopeGenerator on Sep 14, 2011

"I recorded this two years ago using only analogue equipment. The audio is entirely digital-free, except for the transfer to PC and YouTube's compression. No sequencing here!

I reluctantly sold the Axxe earlier this year (but she's gone to a good home!), so I dug out this old recording and added some very silly images for a quick video to put on YouTube as a tribute to this great beast of a machine.

All parts played on an ARP Axxe monoophonic analogue synthesizer
All effects from an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man delay pedal
Recorded and mixed on a TASCAM Portastudio 414 mkII 4-track cassette deck

"Firecracker" performed by James Cronin, written by Martin Denny, based on the cover by Yellow Magic Orchestra."

DX5 Playing DM "Policy of Truth" (updated)


YouTube Uploaded by DX5 on Sep 13, 2011

"Updated (and quick done, almost a rehearsal) version -so sorry but it's the only way to upload something as I barely have time enough for doing this Youtube stuff-. It was recorded at the first take, then some mistakes can be heard. Also the light was dim, as the one that uses to be on stage .

BTW, I only have two arms. There are missing sounds, but I wanted to do this with the less pre recorded sounds possible


Backtrack recorded in Pro tools.
Gear: Upper: EMU EMAX II HD
Mid: Roland JP8000
Low: Kurzweil PC1x

SYNDRUM QUAD Analog Drum Synth


via this auction

"This is the one-of-a-kind Syndrum Quad, the hard-to-find first electronic drum made famous by the likes of David Robinson of The Cars, Terry Bozzio, Roger Taylor of Queen and many others. If you've found this, you know what this is and the unique sounds it makes that you can't find anywhere else. The Quad was the most famous of the Syndrums models.

This piece of electronic drum history has recently been tested and works perfectly. As you'll see from the photos, the pads show foam on them from being in storage the last 20 years. I chose not to clean them up after testing the rig, I will leave that to the new owner. Some of the sliders are missing their caps, but this doesn't affect their function. Because the pads use a typical 1/4-inch plug, you could use different pads if you choose, such as Roland PD-8s.

This rig also includes the Pollard Foot Pedal."
