Sound Design with Groc: syncopated fiddle

video upload by oddment audio

"In this sound design example we take a fiddle sample and use beat-sync'd grain intervals to create a syncopated loop. After dropping in a beat we adjust playback speed and sample positions to improvise and create some variety."

"I can feel it coming in the air tonight. If you always loved the drum machine intro, this is how you get that iconic sound. Also, think Blondies Heart of Glass.

This beautiful CR-78 has just been fully checked and serviced by a former Roland technician who established Roland's first service department in Ontario, Canada. It’s now ready to go to a new home.

All push buttons, potentiometers, and sliders were cleaned and lubricated. All move without introducing any noise or static into the signal chain. Input and output jacks were all cleaned and checked. All voices work and sound as they should - analog sexy. The programming section is fully operational and ready for you to program your own rhythms.

As for the condition, the pictures tell the story. The front panel is pristine – no scratches, marks or oxidization. The wood case is also in amazing condition and has the original rubber feet. (The 2 metal identification plates still have the protective plastic film on them!)

This CR-78 is a 220-volt unit. I use a step-up transformer for use on 110 volts (see pics). The step-up transformer will be included."

PERfourMER MKII - rubber band session #2

video upload by vermonagear

"Another attempt to synchronize the cutoff frequencies of our PERfourMER MKII with rubber bands. We mounted the chrome knobs from our Action Filter to the cutoff potentiometers of the PERfourMER MKII. They are a bit larger in diameter and have a good grip. But the rubber bands are still not perfect.

We sequenced the PERfourMER MKII from Ableton Live and also used the standard delay plugin as an effect. What do you think of this performance? Let us know in the comments below."

Studio Electronics MidiMini

video upload by Vykaar Tones

"As these are quite rare I thought I would make a video while I was testing this one after a repair and service. It is basically a minimoog in a rack with midi and more features - sounds great... played from my trusty and rather dusty Arturia Keystep. Please click thru to get the various tones as this is quite a long video for Minimoog fans and nerds."

Marillion Kayleigh ~ Vintage Synthesizer Recreation ~ RetroSound

video upload by RetroSound

"One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
Kayleigh by Marillion from the album Misplaced Childhood (1985)
Written by Fish and produced by Chris Kimsey.
Recorded in the famous Hansa Studios in West-Berlin.

Featured the PPG wave 2.2, the Roland Juno-106 and the Moog Taurus bass pedal

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
