"This is hand marked as unit #159

DETAILS
A 'modern' primitive device--with plenty of inputs, outputs, and flexibility. Even though it has only four drum sounds -- two tunable drums, a tunable "snare" drum (harder sounding than the others), and a cymbal -- control voltage inputs give great flexibility. Each of the tunable drums is made from a vacuum tube ringing bandpass filter, and can be tuned to sound from below 20 Hz to over 2 kHz. They are also tunable with external control voltages, allowing complex patterns to be built up with external CV or pulse sources. Resonance of each filter circuit is set by internal trimpots. The cymbal sound is an extremely primitive circuit, with white noise gated by a pentode tube. The cymbal's attack is knob-variable and CV variable, from a sharp click to a soft "whoosh". The four outputs mix to a single tube preamp that allows for overdriving via the mix-level controls. In keeping with the primitive nature of the soundmaking section, the pattern sequencer is extremely simple. Unlike early drumboxes, we won't subject you to preset nonsense like "waltz", "foxtrot", "swing" or the like. Instead, there is a single 8-pulse sequence with separate enable switches for each drum sound--set a toggle switch up to get the sound at that point, down for silence. Great for house, hardcore or other simple 4/4 patterns. The internal clock is settable from 60 BPM to over 1000 BPM. There is also a "roll" clock signal built-in, to generate a faster drumroll on any drum sound by pressing a button (speed is preset with an internal trimpot). If you don't like the internal sequencer, there are individual trigger inputs for each of the four sounds (the trigger pulse must be 0 to 5v, and less than 40 mS long). These trigger inputs operate in parallel with the built-in sequencer, so the D-1000's sounds may be triggered by its internal sequence and external pulses at the same time. As a bonus, the three tunable drums can also be used as tunable bandpass filters, by feeding a line audio signal to each trigger input. Ample inputs and outputs: mix output (with overdriveable tube preamp), separate outputs for each drum sound, external trigger inputs for each drum sound, and a main clock output (0-5v) for slaving external generators to the internal clock. No, it does not sound like a TR-606. It's a beast you have never seen or heard before."

"2014年秋に復活を遂げた"electribe"1台だけで、­新進気鋭のミュージシャンがオリジナル曲を作って演奏するシリーズ企画。

第3回目は、Detune社のNintendo 3DSダウンロード専用ソフト「KORG DSN-12」発売直後のコンテストで大賞に輝き、その後開催されたユーザー・イベン­トでも驚愕の演奏テクニックを披露したPAINTVOX氏。

この動画でも、彼はelectribeの想定される使い方とは違ったテクニックをいく­つも見せており、先入観に囚われない発想と、そこから生み出される自由な音に、(DS­N-12のイベントに続いて)再び驚かされました。

This is the third in a series of videos featuring three young, energetic musicians who have produced their work using only the KORG electribe.

The third video highlights PAINTVOX, winner of the “2014 KORG DSN-12 commercial contest for best music”, an achievement that allowed him to present his skills at an event hosted by DETUNE

MX-1 Mix Performer with Ableton Live and TR-8


Published on Feb 27, 2015 RolandChannel

Roland Airas on eBay

"The Mixer. Reimagined as an instrument.

Armed with only a few sustained sounds from Ableton Live and a TR-8, KiNK shows how the MX-1 takes electronic music performance to the next level. The latest in Roland's AIRA line, the MX-1 Mix Performer is a mixer that plays like an instrument. It brings spontaneous, hands-on control to live electronic music performance. With per-channel step based FX and playable Master FX, the MX-1 brings together your synths, drum machines, DAW tracks and more.


In this video, KiNK is streaming a handful of sustained sounds from Ableton Live directly to the MX-1. A TR-8 is connected with a single cable via AIRA Link. The MX-1 is controlling transport and master tempo of the entire setup. You'll see how KiNK uses the per-channel Beat FX to add rhythm to the sustained loops from Ableton Live and then incorporates the TR-8 in perfect sync. Using the MX-1's "External Mode" KiNK is even able to apply Ableton Live's own internal FX processing to the TR-8 hardware.

Finally, there's a mixer that's meant to be played."

Open Wound Soundpack (Week 23)


Published on Feb 25, 2015

Novation Launchpads on eBay
MIDI Fighters on eBay

"This week I have yet another artist inspired pack, it’s something I’ve had in the works for a while so I wanted to share. Ki: Theory or Joel Burleson is an amazing band/artist. I couldn’t help when he shared the stems for his song “Open Wound” to quickly turn it into a soundpack. While a remix would be a normal producer’s go to on this, I decided to not only utilize the stems but to make something everyone could enjoy and experience. Soundpacks are a great way to remix, reimagine, and just jam on some of your favorite songs, and make something completely new out of it. With this soundpack I utilized most of the stems but also added a few samples of my own and a good dose of FX for flavor. It is made up of 2 banks/32+ samples and a ton of variation. You have melodic piano, driving guitar and a few vocal stabs. On top of that, if I didn’t learn my lesson last week…I’m at it again using another one of ULT1MOD’s lightshows to showcase this week’s soundpack, my computer didn’t explode but it gave me hell. Hope you all enjoy and be sure to go check out Ki: Theory! -Kyle

"Fender Chroma Polaris (mark I). So, it is quite unique, very clever engineered machine. Soundwise it is on the strong and hard territory, it sound even huge often. It based on solid sounding cem3374 as vco, and cem3372 as vcf with quite harshly and characterfull resonanse. Synth has very flexible architecture, which allows us to get really wide pallete of sounds. It can do all - thick basses, edgy leads, dark evolving pads, wild crazy fx. I know that this was developed by ARP engineers, and it comes to mind that it is some kind of "polyphonic odyssey", but with more harsh and brutal sound. No doubt it is one of the best FX machine ever build, its sound effects just mind blowing. It has MIDI, and one exellent implementation. You can easy drive in realtime all synth parameters by midi CC. Synth has 6 voice polyphony and even 6 part multitimbral, but only one mono audio out. It has freely splittable keyboard with velocity, you can play one sound in left hand and other in the right, or you can layer one sound on another for all keyboard range with 3-voice polyphony.

Synth is fully serviced, the main problem with its membrane buttons successfully solved, it will works for years."

"Sequential Circuits Studio 440

Drum machine, sampler, sequencer, vintage, analogue filter

This unit has had a very recent service by a professional technician (James Walker of Synth Repair Services).

Totally overhauled. New back-light.

It has been upgraded to the last software release by SCI, for SCSI implementation and OS.

The pads have been replaced with new ones (from Wine Country in the USA).

The data slider has been replaced with a new one (from Wine Country in the USA).

The unit is in full working order. Cosmetically there are a few small marks, but nothing serious. Please see pics!

The Studio 440 is genuinely RARE - this one is number #445 of #500 ever made.

In this sale I am including the following:

Studio 440 unit.

A lot of 3.5” disks containing samples/sounds for the Studio 400 – see pics! One of the boxes is still sealed!!!

Original owners manual plus brochure.

Some background information:

The Studio 440 is like the Grand-Daddy of Sequencing/Sampling Drum and Music Production Machines.

Similar to the MPC60, the Studio 440 has an analogue low-pass filter. The Sequencer is intuitive and quite functional with a capacity of 50,000 notes, 8 separate tracks and a swing function. But unlike its contemporaries, the 440 has some visionary features for its time. MIDI data from the sequencer can be transmitted out so that it can play external MIDI instruments. There is also built-in SCSI for external drives and storage."
