JUST A NOODEL

Published on May 27, 2017 100 Things I Do

"Looking around the studio this week for inspiration I wanted to do something with both the TB-03 and TB-3 in it. While in some ways they cover the same territory (to the anger of a few people that purchased the TB-3 before Roland released the 03) the 3 has a much more diverse sound and effects engine (and a great little step sequencer you can use on other synths).

I used a sample from the Buchla on the OP-1 and the Elektron RYTM just helps keep things together.

To add interest, I had nothing synched to each other, so while the BPM was set to 113 on everything It came down to hitting the start button at the correct time to keep everything moving togeather (the midi lead between the 3 and the RYTM was not set to Sync).

I'm going to take wee break from youtube for a month. I want to get my latest Album finished and I'm just not finding time and energy to get it into a fix mix and master. I might pop up something randomly but the Sunday Videos will be on hold for 4 weeks. Feel free to message me here or on the social platforms if you have any questions between then and now."

"Original owner, never left home. Works great, cool analog-style sounds. Lots of real-time control, including joystick! Software version 1.09. Comes with original power supply and manual.

The DarkStar is a table-top 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer suitable for anybody who wants analog sounds for use in most any style of electronic music. Analog sounds are created by DSP-based analog modeling which means you'll get reliable and clean analog-type synth sounds in a professional instrument. The DarkStar features 2 oscillators per voice, 5-part multitimbral set-up, joystick mixing for oscillators, ring modulation, filter resonance and pink/white/blue noise generators.

There are 14 knobs, all of which transmit MIDI data and provide instant hands-on access to the filters and envelopes. The two LFOs and two envelope generators provide plenty of modulation abilities for the oscillators, pulse-width and filter. The filter offers high-, low- and band-Pass filtering with a 12dB/oct slope. It is fairly flexible since both the cutoff and resonance can be modulated by either LFO and EG for a wide range of filter-sweeping effects."

"In 1984 My dear friend and musical collaborator the great Saxophonist Michael Brecker asked me if I wanted to buy his Mini Moog. he was getting a new instrument to play electronics out of and the Moog wouldn't work..I bought it..It had a magic sound..Fat and warm.Every Moog was abit different.this was perfection.in 1986 I got a Roland interface to Midi it so I could use it with my Linn 9000 Drum machine and sequencer.I was Working with great producers and this Moog made it onto some amazing albums..Artists Like Miles Davis,Luther Vandross,Chaka Kahn,Whitney Houston,David Sanborn,Roberta Flack..When you hear the synth bass that is my mini Moog. In 1990 I was making the Album Power of Love By Luther Vandross in LA at A&M studios and I was getting a new rack built..I decided to go to Studio Electronics and get the Mini Moog Rack Mounted..I tested it before hand to make sure that my prized oscillator boards would not be replaced with other boards.It came back perfect. Over the years I have used it on many of my productions and it has been on Grammy and Platinum albums..This instrument rocked..I am now in a different direction and I do not use it anymore so It's time to move it on..It is a great piece of History and if you have the money you can have it..I have no problem hanging onto it but there are several other pieces I want to get and this will help me get there."
