Roland TR-09 verses TB-03 - The Perfect Duo

Published on Sep 28, 2016 soundseasy

"In this video we sync up the new Roland TB-03 and TR-09 to create a bit of old school 90's Techno. First let me say these things are a lot of fun. They really take me back to the early 1990's.

Setup:

I sent midi sync from our Roland TR8 and fed it into the TB-03 which then in turn fed the TR-09. I did this as at the time I was having some fun with the timed delay in the MX-1 mixer and to get the timing the TR8 was USB synced to the MX1. I didn't use any delay in the video as I wanted to keep it clean. I just didn't want to re-cable.

All you are hearing is the TB-03 and TR-09.

My thoughts

The TR-09 sounds exactly like the real deal. The kick (although a bit loud in this vid) sounds big and punchy just like on my TR909. I only introduced the Kick Hats and ride - I'll do another video that shows off the other instruments at a later date - I only had this unit for a short period of time before Roland asked for it back.

The TB-03 is everything you'd want from a TB303 replica. I like the TB clean and rubbery. I don't go in for the distorted TB sound that is typical of the Devil Fish mod. I found the OD to be better left off. The reverb is kinda cool though.
The TB-03 is so sticky and has the right amount of swing. I loved programming it just like the real deal.

To sum up - Both these units are amazing. And they are well priced."

MISA DIGITAL NSC-16 & ROLAND Boutique JU-06 Video Jam

Published on Aug 23, 2016 soundseasy

"In this Video we are using the New MISA Digital NSC-16 hardware sequencer and the Roland JU-06 Boutique Synth. The Ju-06 is connected to the Roland AIRA MX-1 mixer where a little delay is added.

The Misa Digital Sequencer is polyphonic (you can sequence chords) and multitimbral (up to 6 instruments can be sequenced simultaneously) - In the video we load different sequences on the fly - we also change the sequence loop start and end points in real time. A very nice feature."

Minilogue Deco Timeline BigSky

Published on Jan 16, 2016 Ty Synthador

"This video uses the Minilogue's factory preset 025 (Prospero) with the preset's default sequencer pattern. (The sequencer is polyphonic, so that's good). Signal chain is Deco, TimeLine, BigSky, Mackie 802VLZ4 with the mixer's tape-out into the interface for recording in Logic. From about 1:10-1:30 I slowly turn off all of the effects to let the dry signal through. Then I turn the effects back on. Verdict is that the Minilogue sounds great with fancy effects (duh!)."
