"A test (that begins around the 05:00 minute mark) with a very simple 1 Oscillator VCO I made out of a single 555 chip, output fed through ESX for some effects.
Some notes are slightly out of tune but the test was a success.

Maybe I'll add a VCF, VCA and an EG to that circuit, once I figure all those out."

"Some unpretentious arpeggiator phrasing on the vintage Roland Juno 60: no-frills polyphonic synthesizer from 1983. Sorry for low light (it was a really dark dungeon, full of analog treasures........)"

707 sequencing using a timeFrog

YouTube Published on Jul 30, 2012 by UNDEADINSTRUMENTS

"I recentky found an old TR707 in my vintage stuff, with broken start stop and shift buttons. The timeFrog allows to pass over a such situation with its direct MIDI adressing. Here is the second part, where I play with the sequencer to form advanced rythms, live editing the seq and then using the disc clock to get out from too square rythms.

Yamaha TX7 (DX7 rack version) with editor/librarian

YouTube Published on Jul 30, 2012 by jerrydibella

"This one I made for a friend who asked me about using Yamaha TX7 module in conjunction with editor/librarian for computer. In my set up it runs through a Motu 828 mkII audio and midi interface, and the master keyboard used is a Korg R3, so MIDI In & OUT of Korg R3 are connected with IN & OUT of my audio interface, from Korg R3 Midi THRU I connected a midi cable into the TX7 module Midi IN. Then you just have to open the editor windows and start a new patch. I use DX7 LIBRARIAN for Macintosh, it's a freeware, and you can control every parameter in real time. It's awesome!"

If you have an iPad iDX7 - iControlMIDI should work with it as well.

"Questo filmatino è per un mio amico che mi ha chiesto informazioni sull'expander della DX7, il Yamaha TX7! ci si chiedeva come funzionava assieme all'editor, per programmare le proprie patch. Ebbene, collegato all'editor in mio possesso, il comodo DX7 LIBRARIAN per macintosh, tutto quanto funzia alla perfezione, e ogni volta che cambi un parametro sull'editor, la TX7 lo legge in tempo reale. Nel set up del video ho utilizzato una Korg R3 come master, la R3 è collegata alla Motu 828 mk2 che uso come interfaccia audio/midi attraverso i cavi MIDI IN E MIDI OUT. Dal MIDI THRU della Korg R3 entro poi nel MIDI IN della YAMAHA TX7, e voilà, tutto funzia!"

"Here's a quick video demonstrating an 8-step sequence using the Analogue Solutions Oberkorn analogue sequencer. Sequence reset is triggered via Gate X out.

Bass provided by the new Telemark-K keyboard while the filter is opened and closed by Oberkorn. Transposition is done via the TM-K (keys).

AS Quantiser also featured between the Oberkorn and TM-K.

Enjoy."
