Thanks for the listen. Love breaking out the acid tunes.

@@jtrace-444 A little acid on a saturday

Yeah thing does a sub bass like it was built for it😅

​@@skinz987 Sounds great keep em rolling look forward to hearing more

@@PyramidBeats28 Thank you! Benn wanting to pair these two. I knew it was gonna get weird from the time I hooked em up.

@@jtrace-444 Granular synthesis meets bass music and ambient 0. I like it, but man is it weird. That texture lab is an unpredictable beast.

@@skinz987 .... sounded like You had a good hold of it. I have a 🍋 drop....My kids Xperiment more with it than I do...but occasionally I go down the 🐰hole.... again this piece sounded Great!! 🍺

@@jtrace-444 I tend to make leads with the granular stuff. Works well if you can find a sweet spot, but yeah you can spend a good amount of time messing about. I have a 0101 Blue box that I use for recording some times if I make a track I want to export for DJ purposes.

Thanks Jaffa. I think the next one will be heavy

I lied. Ha ha ha went weird instead

@@Heavycap Sonicware makes some really interesting gear. I end up getting a lot of their stuff as the sounds just happen to be what I am looking for. Keep up the good work!

@@GullySyde28 Thank you! It was a Roland filled jam. Should really bust out the MC-101 more. So many sounds on that piece.

@@lewisskolnick4015 Thank you! I used a pedal board for all the mini synths and just swap gear in and out as desired. Lack of space is always an issue. Ha ha ha. Thanks for listening!

Ha ha right? Wasn't really sure where I was going with this one. Its a bit out there.

@@skinz987 ...was gnna say ^¢id....but DMT has a obscure clarity....that after I played your piece for the third time.... Told my wife.....this is Brilliant....just Phuking BRILLIANT. 🍺🍕👍

Dirty Drums from the Roland, Paired with Dirty Bass from the B-1. Threw in some cowbell because reasons....ha ha. Glad you enjoyed. Looking forward to hearing that Roland get put to work!

@@jaffajenkins It really is a great drum machine though. I think you will dig it.

I think i might join the club :) they just dropped price and one or 2 second hand available. After borrowing 6s im sold and don't want to hand it back 😆

@@PyramidBeats28 🤣 I saw a TR-8 for $300.00 US on Reverb yesterday. They have definitely gone down.

@@MultiAndy777 thanks man. You got some killer stuff going as well. Subbed.

@@skinz987 Cheers dude, appreciate that ✌

I love my JX-08. My personal fav of the Roland boutiques.

@@skinz987 They are future classics for sure i think if i ever brought another boutique would be the JX or the SE- 02 👌

@@PyramidBeats28 The JX I something else. At first glance it's an 80s monster...but there is so much more.

@@skinz987 😃👌

I will be taking that Ambient Machine to CSR this year. After hours oddness generator. Ha ha ha

Yes it does. People are sleeping on that UNO Pro - the built in effects are next level... especially that shimmer. That's what gives that lead the angelic aftertone

Thank you! Feeling a bit of homemade epic trance last night.

@@jtrace-444 Its probably the easiest synth I have ever used. Sounds good too for those acid sounds. Just wish the step sequencer was a bit longer, but it's the same for all the 303 clones, just about.

Thanks for the listen! I will be working with the Microfreak next I think.

Thank you! That S-1 packs a punch for the price and size. I really need to use it more often.

@@jtrace-444 Thank you! It's fun to go back to the roots of Tecno sometimes.

@@skinz987 Bro....seeds ...plant.... fertilizer....roots.... You made TeKnO Food for the Masses!!!!..... IMPRESSIVE.🥇🍺.

@@jaffajenkins I feel ya. That's why I have been doing these improv things where I put short patterns down then attempt to tie them together. Not serious production, but figuring out what to take to an upcoming event.

Sounds VERY Familiar practice my man ...,,.. And your doing some live music .... ... Love to do a gig someday ..

@@jaffajenkins I will be doing some DJ sets primarily, but will be doing some live synth work as well.

@@argiletonne I am recording it through OBS patched through Serato DJ using a virtual audio cable. I gets a clean sound that way.

@@skinz987 interesting, taking the RCA route into a mixer. "virtual audio cable?" I'm not sure I know of such a thing. You mean in the computer? What is OBS.

@@argiletonne I have a cheapo sub-mixer that I route the synths into, then RCA into the Reloop Mixon 8 controller. I use Channel 4 on the reloop for Synths. This then goes through Serato DJ. I use OBS, a freeware video recording program for recording video. In order to get the sounds from Serato to OBS in realtime, I use a virtual patch cables, which are software based. Serato DJ has instructions to make this work. Sounds good though.

@@Molluszk if you hit the bassline button it goes back to the original preset settings that were saved, if that makes sense. Meaning any adjustment made before the preset are reset. That may be why it sounds "softer".

Thank you for the listen! Glad you enjoyed!

That is correct, I use the TR-8S as the midi master, with a MIDI hub hidden behind the wall of mini synths. The main reason for this is that the TR-8S integrates with Serato DJ, so I can add all the toys to a DJ set, if desired.

@@skinz987 gotcha. ive been thinking about replacing my Electribe 2 with a TR8S after i found out you can pop in your own drum samples!

@@AbominusRules You can absolutely. Though sample editing is limited (read a pain). That said, if you are loading one-shots - its a non issue. But it already has all the Roland greats installed, so there is that.

@@skinz987 yeah. i would only load in one-shot samples of kicks/snares etc. i mainly do industrial/ebm music, so i need punchy drum hits. its something the Electribe 2 lacks. all of the drum samples on the E2 are just awful.

@@AbominusRules Love me some industrial. I have been through quite a few drum machines, but the Roland is what clicked for me. Never looked back.

The ambient 0 is in a different league in sounds than the VS. The VS is great for synthwave and cheesy 80s sounds. Can't hold a candle to the Ambient 0, in my humble opinion for ambient and pads. All depends what sounds you are going for.

@@skinz987 thank you!

@@AbominusRules It's a great little machine! I am sure you will enjoy!

The screen on the TR-8S is worth the extra cost, though the S stands for samples and I do add them, but I more use the Novation for that role. I just love the Roland drum sounds and this has pretty much all of them. That said, it is kinda a groovebox, but less so than you would think. The biggest advantage is the instant access to 12 channels. I load them with mostly drums kicks and a variety of highs. This makes one of the hardest things to do in Dawless jamming - buildups and break downs - much much more fluid and easy. That is why I love it and it takes primary duty on the drums.

Save a lil more......get the "S" 🦸

@@jtrace-444 100%

@@skinz987 Get the 8, you dont need a screen on these. We never used one before...

@@hazysativa3045 it makes it much easier in a live setting, as you can scroll and select exactly what you want. If you are at home and preset it, yep it's not essential.

@@frevrix Thank you! I am enjoying the Ambient 0. It adds a nice tonal layer to tracks to give it a chiller vibe.

@@ambientshrine It certainly a fun little synth. I love Sonicware stuff, but this one is something special.

@@jaffajenkins PM me. Event coming up.

I will add the S-1 in soon. But here is the s-1 if interested taking center stage th-cam.com/video/8kbx73lYOaM/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

It really is a cool machine. Been playing with it quite a bit. Need to see how it plays with the rest of them.

@@enochroot9438 Not sure if you have used Sonicware stuff before, but they can be a bit of a nightmare to program. This is the exception. Super easy and sounds like a dream. Awesome piece of kit.

@skinz987 nice to hear, very reassuring as this is my first

When will it be available on Thomann ? I'm very interested in it

​@@eldontyrellcorp It's already available!

@@1679derick great!

Thank you! Its rather simplistic, but I am trying to get a handle on that DB-01. Its a bit more agressive than I thought...even though that's why I chose it. 😅

It is certainly a well made piece of kit. I wanted to test it out with a simple bass pattern, but I will certainly explore its capabilities more in the future.

Thank you!

Appreciate it! The J-6 has been neglected recently, decided to put it to work and make a little jam.

I actually ordered a Manther from Perfect Circut during their last sale, but it showed up busted. I returned it and grabbed the Uno and I have to say...I am throughly impressed with the range of sounds on this thing. Also the sequencer is fantastic and easy, but has slides and accents like a 303. Loving it so far.
