1967 ACE TONE RHYTHM ACE FR 3 ANALOG DRUM MACHINE by Distance Research

Published on Dec 19, 2012 distanceresearch

"1967 to I think 1974 Ace Tone analog drum machine. Ace Tone was pre Roland and made some pretty cool sounding drum machines. This unit has several presets that can be mixed and matched to create some usable patterns. Definitely has that vintage sound reminiscent of that early TG sound or Jarre- Oxygene, Mixed with some effects and cool, I suspect there is ways of aftermarket midi/dun sync-ability."

"This week's Archivist Presents slot features a genius of electronic music, Daphne Oram.

This converted oast-house in Kent is really a kind of studio where Miss Daphne Oram is engaged in scientific research into electronic music. Thanks to a Gulbenkian Foundation grant, she's surrounded by very expensive equipment. With it, she can compose the sound and music of the future.

MDRONE Fun 1

http://www.evatontechnologies.com

"Experimenting with the Evaton SDIY MDRONE. I was trying for something fairly musical, as opposed to noisy, which this thing does rather well. I ran the MDRONE through a Pittsburgh filter in bandpass mode, through a VCA triggered by a steady clock to generate a pulsing rhythm. I tweaked the inboard filter during the take and wiggled a bit for some variation. In addition to the MDRONE, I triggered a rudimentary kick (low square wave) and a Piston Honda piped through a formant filter to flesh out the beat. The MDRONE and Piston Honda got some delay added."

Ninstrument Introduces the Rhythm TR-727 Eurorack Module

via Ninstrument

"Do you remember some of the cool unusual drum machines from the 80’s? The TR-727 was one of the unusual ones as it featured primarily Latin percussion sounds like Bongo’s and Maracas. Jan Ostman has made a recreation of those sounds and built them into a chip. More info here.

I designed a 10HP eurorack module that accepts his chips and tried to bring back a little aesthetic flair from the design of those early drum machines. We currently have a Indiegogo campaign that will be ending shortly. If you would like to receive one of these and support us to keep going down the vintage drum path please pledge here: http://igg.me/at/drumulator

I will be making a video demo shortly for this, so expect an update soon."
