Piston Honda drum machine

YouTube Uploaded by MrPalebluedot on Nov 13, 2011

"Harvestman Piston Honda used as drum machine. 3 channels are clocked by an RCD. The most frequent division is just the Piston into ch 1 of the optomix. The second channel is the piston honda through the first channel of the mod-demix ring mod (Hertz Donut as a modulator) and into the second channel of the optomix, the third channel is the second channel of the mod-demix to the Borg 1 in LPG mode."

Analogue electronica studio jam - rozz3r: Bonfire Calm

YouTube Uploaded by rozz3r on Nov 6, 2011

"Getting away from the Mac/PC to make music is a joy. In the last year or so I've been making gear purchases with the goal of writing electronic music 'live', with the computer doing nothing except acting as a glorified tape recorder. The whole rig is based around a Sequentix P3 sequencer which provides a gloriously stable midi clock as well as midi sequences. The nice thing about the P3 is it can do generative sequencing in quite a controlled manner, which suits my repetitive yet evolving music style.

My various synths and effect boxes are hooked up to a Soundtracs Topaz 24 track mixer, which allows me to do dub-style 'playing the mixer', riding faders and jamming with effects sends, feedback loops etc. The cast list is pretty much this:

- Sequentix P3
- Suzuki SX-500 (poly analog)
- Kurzweil PC3
- Moog Little Phatty
- Dave Smith Evolver
- Eurorack Modular
- Korg ER-1
- Kurzweil Mangler
- Eventide TimeFactor
- Eventide Space
- hand built dual 1176 compressor clone
- Golden Age Pre-73 Mic pre-amp

The video is really my first attempt at using all this together and performing a song live. It uses pretty much everything on the list above except the Kurzweil PC3 and the Evolver. The modular is doing the melody, the ER1 is on drums (going through the Pre-73 and the 1176 to give it some balls), the SX500 is doing chords and the Moog I play live. The Eventide Space is doing all the reverb work. I used Presonus's Studio One 2 to record everything to separate audio tracks and then did some basic mix tweaking. No additional effects were used. I'm new to Studio One and I'm impressed so far, I haven't had to look at the manual once, which means they got it right. It also feels solid and hasn't crashed once.

This experiment was proof of concept really, I have a Dave Smith Tempest on the way which will make drum performances a lot more fun and dynamic. I also need to use Parts on the Sequentix more in order to make more structured changes in the song progression. Expect more live jams soon :)"

Yamaha TG33 drone demo

YouTube Uploaded by rozz3r on Mar 22, 2011

"I made a little demo of the Yamaha TG33 FM / Waverom synthesizer. Unlike most of the TG33 demos I found on youtube, this one is definitely aimed at anyone making electronic music. For old synths like this the 'flicking through presets' style of youtube demo does little to show potential. So you won't hear any factory presets, all the sounds are programmed and 100% unique (oooh).

The major source of fun is the vector joystick, with which you can create evolving sounds that go from crunchy 12bit samples to clean sparkly FM tones. It's no powerhouse however, the FM is limited, there are no filters and the onboard effects are extremely limited. I don't mind any of that, in fact I think its charm is born from its limitations and as a result, it's pretty easy to program.

This piece was recorded in 3 takes. Everything you hear is from the TG33. The note sequences were programmed in a Sequentix P3 sequencer and looped. The development of sound is caused entirely by twiddling the TG33′s joystick and sometimes changing waverom and FM algorithms on the fly. The three takes (one drone and two melodic sequences) were then layered up in Ableton Live and some delay was added just for ambience.

The TG33 is a great little synth, and can be found for almost silly prices."
