Jamuary 8 - Roland Boutique A-01 8 bit synthesizer jam


Expanding Sound

"Jamuary rolls on, today I decided to pull out the Roland A-01. I don't use it a lot other than for a bluetooth midi controller so i thought it might be fun to make a quick song using the onboard 8 bit synth for all the sounds. I thought it came out pretty fun. Hope you enjoy it!"

"Acidlab Bassline 3 in great condition. Has some mild cosmetic marks on the faceplate. Comes with manual and EU 2-pin PSU.

'Acidlab´s Bassline 3 is a very close clone of the Roland TB-303 and has been complimented on it´s authentic sound and behaviour often. Luckily the original sequencer is not implemented but one that is easy to use and that can be played live!

The analog synth part is very close to the original and is well-known for its punchy thick, very characteristic sound.

The oscillator has square and sawtooth waves and it´s frequency can be set with the tune control. The legendary lowpass filter has a cutoff and resonance control and in addition you can modulate the cutoff frequency with the decay envelope generator that´s decay time and amount of modulation can be controlled. The accent potentiometer determines the amount of accent.

The sequencer allows for classic 303-style sequencing with slide and accent parameters that can be set for each set note but it is much more friendly to use and has six different operational modes. The sequences can be saved in 12 banks with each 8 patterns. In Pattern-Play mode you can chain adjacent patterns from one bank. By copy and past copying patterns is easy, also copying into other banks.

Other features allow you to edit accents and slides in real time while the sequencer is running; you have different pattern lengths, two types of shuffle with 4 setting each, different clock dividers (in 4/4bar mode only). The roll function makes it possible to shift the start point of the sequence which is very handy when the perfect bass line just doesn´t fit to the rhythm: just shift the sequence instead of re-programming it.

In the Track Modes you can chain all patterns from one bank, in their original and transposed versions, to songs.

The Bassline 3 can be synchronized either to MIDI Clock or to DIN-Sync. A third position of the sync switch makes it possible to use the instrument as a master for synching other gear via DIN-Sync. You can play the Bassline3 with MIDI notes as well and also the accent (above a velocity of 100) and slide ('when two notes are played together) are playable via MIDI.

By the audio input you can process external audio signals thru the 300 filter. the cutoff frequency can be modulated by the FM input with a control voltage. Play other synth via the Bassline´s sequencer by using the CV and gate outputs. the accent output will generate a gate with +12V level.'"

"First time patching the FR-6 since I repaired it and modified it.
Since I recorded this video I cleaned it ans added knobs. Looks really great now!
And I'll paint the grey panel in black soon."

Korg NTS-1 Stop Motion Animation Build Video


Nikki Synth

Using the Stop Motion Studio app for the iPhone, the Korg NTS-1 magically comes together.

The music is the NTS-1 with the drum loops and patterns being provided by Ableton and programmed by myself. The SQ-1 is sequencing a pattern, which was then recorded and arranged in Ableton Live 10 Standard. The interface used is a first generation UA Apollo Twin Duo desktop."

New Hammond Suzuki SK Pro Organ + Mono Synth Video


"HAMMOND - COMING SOON - January 10th, 2021" - SUZUKI

New video of the upcoming Hammond organ synth hybrid reveals the synth portion will be a mono synth. You can see some of the synth parameters in the display as well. It's interesting they went with a mono synth vs poly. Curious if it's analog considering. That or they want it to be used exclusively as a lead instrument.

You can see the following Oscillator waveforms:

Due - saw + saw
Unison - supersaw
Pulse - w/ modulation
Sync - w/ modulation
FM - sine x sine
Noise


See the Hammond label below for more.

"Still finding my way back into my music practice - a bit more of a conventional setup today. Been thinking a lot about Chris Randall's comments about why he got rid of his modular (paraphrasing: when he had the modular it became about the modular not the music)

Ignore my strangely swollen left hand - got some weird oedema crap going on - hopefully not serious, talking to the doctor about it later this week
