DUAL CIRCADIAN DIRTY SWING RHYTHMS
DUAL CIRCADIAN DIRTY SWING RHYTHMS from Station 252 on Vimeo.
"Dual Circadian Rhythms. This is a modified version of the patch from the previous two videos. With a second CR I have enough trigger outs for my intended live system. In this version I changed some of the clock channels and distribution, modified the patch quite a bit actually. The patch is not even complete as I run out of long cables and couldn't connect Z8000 (to be clocked from the Trigger Riot and used as a modulation sequencer)
My main goal is to make the system as comfortable and easy to play as possible without compromising sound and music. The main sound sources were carefully chosen over the years, a lot of modules were discarded as unsuitable. what remained is the core: Tiptop Audio drum modules, all of them. I find them great for the purpose and it is very rare that I even like other drum modules and even less use them in the studio and even less live. At the moment I occasionally use the new MFB Bass522 bass drum - it is a very good alternative to the 808 / 909 bass drums and it fits nicely into the rest of the 808/909 sound. Tiptop BD808 is still my main bass drum. Tiptop 808 / 909 drum system is enforced with 4 Tiptop ONEs (one of them being TG-ONE), two loosely divided between percussion and hi hat sounds sounds, one is playing chords and TG-ONE is playing all sorts of Throbbing Gristle samples - surprisingly in the video TG-ONE plays the long dub chord sound...
After playing live for some time we've decided to split our duties, so each of us can concentrate on what he/she does best, so while Jessica is playing all the analog (modular) synths, I concentrate on drums and sampled sounds.
Recently I also added Piston Honda mk2 for a very rare time when I really want to add something other than drums or samples to what I'm hearing at the moment (I'm talking pure live improvisation) and so: I am not going to play live all those sounds at the same time, I am going to add either chords OR long TG samples OR Piston Honda to what Jessy is playing, maximum two but never three sounds simultaneously. This video is actually a test of patch, proof of concept if you will, I test ergonomics, ease of use patch logistics and of coarse sound. As I use the same sound sources during the whole live set (we tend to play longer and longer sets) I need to find a good way to process those sounds. I'm very happy with the fx, samples, percussion and bass drums. Hats on the other hand... I'm getting bored of running them through a Roland Demora, Erica Fusion Delay is also not a very good match for the hats. For Piston Honda I need to try another patch as well. But I will give both another try to be sure.

"KAWAI K5000s ADDITIVE SYNTHESIZER. Very clean example, all working. The S version has the built in arpeggiator and control panel, which makes a huge difference for tweaking sounds and is the one people go after. The keys have yellowed a little (they all do). Otherwise it's spotless, it was and still is the best example I've seen. Disk drive works, internal battery has been replaced. The LCD is still bright and easily readable/visible, but inevitably these do fade with time, and are easily replaced.
Comes with a high quality 'Thon' flight case (not pictured, its in the loft!), and patch 4-disk set (pictured and tested), plus OS disks and some other patch disks from the previous owner that I haven't tested but of course will include. These items alone would cost £2-300 alone. The OS is version 3. You can upload version 4 from this link."

via the seller: "I acquired this beauty, (restored by "Wine Country Sequential,") in 2003, making me the second user-owner. It never left my studio, except when I recently shipped it to (now) "Wine Country Productions" to service the electronics. During a thorough testing of the T8, I discovered something I never noticed during previous use--a very subtle shortening on decay and release times of 2 out of the 8 voices. That problem was resolved by replacing two IC chips. In addition, the mechanical keyboard was refurbished. I received the twice-restored T8 on 12-14-17. As a result of this overhaul, all keys are fully functional with no loud clacking sounds from hammers falling back on keys upon release. The keys trigger optical sensors instead of making physical contact, and are extraordinarily velocity sensitive for nuanced performance, and also have polyphonic aftertouch (a rare feature), with amplitude adjustment and 7 destinations--Frequency of Osc A & B, PW, Filter, Amp, LFO amount, and LFO frequency. The action is very similar to an acoustic piano. I haven't found another weighted keyboard synth or controller that compares. It mates very well with the (included) Roland P330 digital piano module, which contains variations of 3 grand piano sounds, harpsichord, clavi, 2 E. pianos (Rhodes), and vibraphone. The included T8 foot switch enables the programmable "2nd release" of the T8 sounds, and sustains the P330 via midi. You can also sequence and program change the P330 module from the T8's on-board sequencer."

"This Jupiter 8 is in good condition. It is a 12 bit DAC model, and the autotune can be a bit unstable. I have posted a youtube video to demonstrate the instability [further below]. All I have for filming at the moment is an iphone, but it should give a good enough idea of the tuning. In the video, I boot it up in test mode without autotune (it is fairly well calibrated without it) and play each voice over 3 octaves. I then show the effect of pressing the autotune 3 times and playing each voice over 3 octaves each time I press it. I'm not sure if it is a normal amount of instability for a 12 bit version, though I think some professional calibration would probably help. Besides the tuning instability, the synth is in excellent functional condition. The main cosmetic flaws are three small holes that a previous owner drilled into the top of the case above the control panel. Other than that, there are some scratches on the bottom and a few minor scratches elsewhere, but it is in very good shape other than these few flaws. Please see the pictures."
