Why the Roland TR-626 is the ultimate 80s drum machine - Review/Tutorial/Workflow

Published on Mar 26, 2018 Espen Kraft

"I think the Roland TR-626 is one of the best 80s drum machines out there.

Check out my track here to hear it in a full production: [posted here]

What's not to like?
- Individual outs
- Tunable drums (the 707 can't do that)
- Good MIDI specs
- Almost all the percussion sounds from the 727
- Great overview and easy to program
- Great classic kicks, snares, hats and claps

It's also way cheaper than the 707 on the market right now. Get it!

80 MODULES IN 4HP?! Disting MK4 review and my top 5 algorithms

Published on Mar 26, 2018 loopop

"The Disting has an ever expanding library of onboard modules or algorithms that can do very different things - currently about 80 but probably more by the time you watch this, all embodied in a 4HP module.
​
If you like modules that are clearly labelled knob per function, the Disting is not for you, but if you’re in a pinch for a module that’s missing from your setup, it’s more than likely that the multifunction Disting from Expert Sleepers has a version of it - ​ranging from oscillators, envelope generators and LFO’s all to way to audio recording, sample playback, physical modeling and effects.

The new, fourth version of Disting – the MK4, introduces a dot matrix screen, that while is relatively small, makes the module substantially more accessible.

In this video I give an overview of Disting's layout and how to use the compact module, as well as sound examples for my personal top 5 modules."

Published on Mar 25, 2018 Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

This was just a rough rehearsal of the 'Vertigo Mix' version of my Float patch which I have previously posted [here]. I was mainly trying out the Model switching mode in the new Mutable Instruments Plaits, while trying out other bits and pieces for a special event coming up later this evening (details on that to follow!)

To hear and/or download the finished version of "FLOAT // Vertigo Mix" head on over to my Bandcamp here - https://genshi.bandcamp.com/album/flo..."

Moog Introduces MINIMOOG MODEL D App for iOS

Published on Mar 26, 2018 Moog Music Inc

"Based on the original analog circuit designs of the world’s first portable keyboard synthesizer, the Minimoog Model D App captures the magic of its hardware namesake, inviting you to explore the fundamental elements of sound by setting, shaping, and modulating each aspect of the sonic phenomena -- or jump straight in and play with over 160 included presets.

Available now on all 64-bit iOS devices for an introductory price of $4.99, the Minimoog Model D App places new realms of creative potential in the palm of your hand.

Download the Minimoog Model D app here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/minim...

Introduced by Moog in 1970, the Minimoog Model D served as the archetype for all electronic keyboards that followed. It gave users the ability to design their own sounds, translating imagination into reality. The Minimoog’s portability, affordability and accessibility made it the go-to instrument for musicians looking to expand beyond the traditional sounds of the time.

Bernie Worrell used the Minimoog Model D to establish Parliament Funkadelic’s futuristic funk sound. Kraftwerk employed the Minimoog Model D on the successful concept album Autobahn, sparking an entirely new genre. Gary Numan replaced his live band’s guitars with Minimoog Model Ds, creating the prototype for industrial music. The classic sound of the Minimoog Model D can be heard on Bob Marley’s Catch A Fire, Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic.

All sounds in this video, except drums, made with the Minimoog Model D app.
