Roland S1 meets the Hologram Electronics Chroma Console
Short video - and sorry I haven't posted for ages - working on other projects!
Having some fun with the S1 (WHAT IS THIS, A SYNTH FOR ANTS??) and the Chroma Console. Have been looking to try out the Chroma for ages, and finally got the chance.
Really liking the range of effects available - might do some more on midi control and automation if there's interest: I hooked it up to the Hapax's LFO and it can make some pretty wild sounds..
Thanks for watching and please comment/like/subscribe if this is your kind of thing!

The Korg Wavestation - Orbital's Halcyon+On+On Synth

One of the greatest synth pads of all time IMHO - this video came about discovering @GyuBeats' breakdown of Orbital's Halcyon On On - link here... th-cam.com/video/XAkCBr8UmHE/w-d-xo.html - and then finding (courtesy of synth legend @jodywisternoff2414) that the intro pad was made with the Korg Wavestation.

Modern sequencing on vintage drum machines: Roland R-8 meets the Squarp Hapax
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
I've wanted to do something with the idea of sequencing and automating the sounds on the R8 for a while, so now here we are..! Using an external sequencer makes the R8 a lot more suited to live use, though it isn't without some quirks (thanks Roland) Apologies to anyone who likes music and synths, these jams are quite jammy and I didn't even squeeze in a Nick Batt gurn... I've got the MIDI outs...

Roland R8 - The Autechre drum machine

This video is the companion to another one - th-cam.com/video/M9KKbuzys7A/w-d-xo.html - where I cover Crystel. Hopefully it explains a few things about the machine, how you get those weird sounds...

A _lot_ of people were asking for some Autechre on this channel. The big problem is IT'S REALLY HARD. Especially if you don't have Max/MSP and want to do things DAWless with older hardware... However.... Autechre did a big WATMM Q&A session a few years back, so we know that a lot of their early work was sequenced with the Roland R8 as featured here.

    Hola!Siempre gracias por el aporte. Tengo una duda sobre los efectos. Utilizas el mismo delay para el TX81, para alguno de sonidos de bateria , para los strings y para el MS20 enviandolos por un canal auxiliar al quadraverb? Y reverb? Con un quadraverb es suficiente, o tendría varios?

      It's really handy having it all in one box, in hardware form for definite! Plugin alternatives... I'm a sucker for Soundtoys tbh, which would probably cover most of the modulation and delay options. Distortion, likely Ohmicide because it's so versatile, whilst the tape can be covered by Soundtoys delay (turn the mix to 100% wet, delay to 0ms and then play with the tape models), and Goodhertz Wow Control for the wackier end of things 👍👍

    All these years later, and I still have no idea what the Quadraverb's Reverb > "Predelay Mix" does. I've read the paragraph in the manual 1,000 times, and remain totally flummoxed. It's full of words that mean nothing. I play with the value, and can't hear the difference (but sometimes I *think* I can).....So, if by any chance you could explain the Predelay Mix to me in actually meaningful terms a mortal can understand, I'd be forever indebted!

    • @bleepsandboops
      @bleepsandboops หลายเดือนก่อน

      😂😂 You know, I've never really looked at it tbh! I know pre-delay from other reverb units as being the time between the sound source and the reverb starting - so you can add reverb without making everything muddy. My guess would be pre-delay mix blends some of that reverb signal in early? So instead of it being sound, pre-delay, reverb, what you actually get is sound, small bit of reverb, rest of the reverb... They haven't made it clear or easy though!

      Thanks for watching! If you have the samples from the Dance ROM card, yes you can use the waverex software to write those samples. Waverex also sell samples from things like the Linn so get you started. The waverex software will also allow you to write raw binary/ROM dumps from the original cards - so if you can find the .bin file, you can create a like-for-like copy of any SN-R8- card. You should own the original card though, for legal reasons.
