video upload by Simon Claessen

"First try after extensive restoration of this beast. Accompanied by the DDrum AT and a Beatstep pro for the triggers and modulaton.

I still have to tune all the oscillators but all the crackling potentiometers, jacks and non responsive keyboard is fixed now"

video upload by MKDVB

"Moog's Subharmonicon blew me away with how much variation could be wrung out of a basic sequence, especially in combination with cool FX. Even so, I couldn't help myself from adding more elements and before I knew it, a full-blown 'real' track had sprung up.

You can hear the original live version here: [below]

Moog Subharmonicon - original sequence, bass, synth pads
Elektron Monomachine - drums
Sequential Circuits Prophet X - piano lead
Moog Matriarch - synth lead
Sequential Circuits Pro 3 - arp
FX (live jam) - Cooper FX Generation Loss v2, Eventide Rose, Boss RV-500

The First Famous Drum Machine!

video upload by Alex Ball

"The Roland CompuRhythm or CR-78 from 1978 is arguably the first famous drum machine. In this short video, I take a look at why that is.

Free sample pack: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iV0Z...

Thanks to the owner of this CR-78 and thanks to Autoy for filling in the sounds I couldn't get due to it needing a visit to the synth doctor."
