New 'M-80' midicontroller for Roland MKS-80 - the MPG-80 alternative

Published on Jan 11, 2017 stereoping

"Productdemo of the Stereoping Synth Controller in 'M-80' edition for Roland MKS-80. This midicontroller contains all parameters of the MPG-80. It even goes beyond offering CC-message automation for the MKS-80 with it's built-in CC-SysEx-translator. In effect, it's a tiny, cheap alternative for the rare and expensive MPG-80.

From what i've heard the MPG-80 does not work that perfect and smooth when programming the MKS-80. As i don't own a MPG-80 i cannot test or show it. What i can show here is the M-80 working as smooth as a hot knive sliding into butter when firing the MKS-80 with edit commands. Simply plug the 'M-80' in between the Midi connection between your DAW and the MKS-80 and your ready to go. It forwards incoming notes from the DAW and merges them with the edit commands.

The video contains 3 parts:

a) short 3D-animation explaining connections, function and color layers
b) simple demo shaping a unison sound into a delayed-highspeed-LFO-VCO MOD-mess
c) a complete 4 minute song with permanent editing on UPPER and LOWER tone with the MKS-80 in DUAL mode listening on 2 midichannels. When you listen carefully you might notice some slight timing issues of the MKS-80. Well, it has to handle many notes on 2 channels plus the parameter change commands.

The MKS-80 in the video is REV5 with the Roland IR-3R03 VCOs. Other gear used: Roland Juno 6, Pearl Syncussion clone, Pearl SC-40, Volca Sample, Boss SE-50, Monarch EEM 3000."

ROLAND SH-101 + ELEKTRON ANALOG DRIVE ~ Will They Pair? Ep.05

Published on Jan 11, 2017 once upon a synth

"In this episode I pair the Roland SH-101 vintage analog synth with the modern Elektron Analog Drive distortion guitar pedal. I start off with some quick filter sweeps then proceed to some playing and finally end with some nasty bass Daft Punk-like sequences and some noise/wind effects. Enjoy!"

Faking Fake Chords on the (Korg) ARP Odyssey - a chiptune-inspired patch tutorial

Published on Jan 10, 2017 Amplitude Problem

"In the past, I made a tutorial for playing chords and melodies simultaneously on the Moog Sub 37 using 8-bit home computer techniques [posted here]. It's no secret that I love the distinctive sound of an ultra-fast chip arpeggio, which is what the technique relies on to give the illusion of a chord. So, when I recently received Korg's amazing ARP Odyssey re-issue, which is paraphonic like the Sub 37, I had to give it a shot on that synth as well. It turned out to be more challenging, but completely possible, to achieve a very close sound.

sorry about the bad audio, I was struggling with lots of background noise due to local demolition works across the road from me."

"This was set up before Christmas, it changed and then changed again until I couldn't hold out any longer. With new ideas coming to mind it was time to record.

Modcan sequencer doing Qu-Bit Chord duties and the Telharmonic, Metropolis providing the clock and sequencing the subby uLFO bassline. Radio Music going through Echophone plus HertzDonut and FMVDO provding FM'd clangs. a few filters and some guitar pedals adding effects."

Sound Diary #15 - Boomtschak

"Whenever Matttech comes over there's some serious head bobbin' patches going. We both leave with neck ache, a big grin and as far as the Boomtshak is concerned ... full of breeze block smashing beats!

Here's the Mutant Kick and Clap from Hexinverter just playing short basic sounds while the Boomtschak is unleashed with plenty of modulation and manual wiggling."
