sorry Cyber dunno if things like Geocities still exist (where they offered some free host space)..

 

 

ok, here's another demo with Super Jupiter Rev4, it's a percussive synth i've done in style of one of those Virus C presets i've heard on 'Vengeance' trance demos. I ran it thru a vintage analog multitap delay i borrowed for a few days, called Binson Echorec EC8, if anyone is familiar with this gadget. It's from 1968 and it uses a magnetic disk instead of tape, so its undestructible, and has 8 playback and rec heads.

Interesting, analog tape probabaly sounds better though with all the warble and tape compression :)

 

Does sound much better then those BBD analog delay units.

Do you like it ClusterChord?

 

Will have to pickup a Rev4 MKs80+ programmer one day to add to my rev 5. A bit of an overkill I guess, but they are so reliable and fuss free

it does have compression as well, and you have tone controls, and as you can hear from extreme feedback settings, the sound becomes lo-fi destroyed in a 'good' way, similar to RE201 but again different. Only thing i didnt like is, you dont have continous control over delay time, but by turning on/off switches for 8 playback and 8 rec heads , you can arrive at different delay times. one used in demo was 1-4-7 , it came out 117 BPM. all in all, i liked it, but didnt have $ right now, maybe next month. also, the same guy (a friend who is a producer/collector) offered me RE201 as well. i'll be getting that to try out next week. i think i'll save for that, if its in good condition (not too noisy).

yep, well i'm going for that JP8, overkill or not. i'm thinking JP8/A6/Rhodes with RE201 = analog heaven. :cool:

well , he has all of them, and he told me that 201 has the 'sound' i want. that 555 and 501 are much cleaner but lack some of the 201 'magic'. maybe it's all BS, all i know that several recording that feature tape echo that i want have we're using 201. go figure..

 

well, i'll see next week, he ordered a new tape for it. who knows, maybe i'll persuade him to let me have a 555. he bought it last month..

Hey Cluster, I sent back a reply regarding that JD990, but your PM Box is full... So I forwarded my response by email, not sure if you received it or not... If you haven't, thanks again for the detailed responses, it really helped me finialize my choice in getting the JD990 :D

 

Oh, look what I've found:

It's another link with MP3 files from those classics:

 

CS80

Memory-Moog

JD800

Doepfer

ProOne

PPG-Modular

a friend gave his Roland RS09 Organ Strings to check out for a few days. I sampled it and made a small demo. It sounds sort of like a cheaper, less animated Solina. (btw, i got Solina as well - sampling/demo is in the works :D) . Strings have more saw than pulse wave quality. Standard Roland ENSEMBLE circuit is responsible for most of its fatness and motion. it can be sed on other synths - it features audio input to this effect. lfo, single attack release env, divide down technology etc. Organ is cheesy , Vox variety, 2 4 8 16 drawbars - didnt bother to sample it.

demo has four 'sounds': strings w ENS, who ENS, str dbld w Organ and Str dbld at 8va

ok, here's two clips i've done with Solina String Ensemble. one is straight chords, other is run thru Moogerfooger phaser set at 12-stage. Solina is quite noisy - if its playing on an isolated track, it definetely needs some Noise Reduction plug-in. When you have typical slower attack and release settings, playing polyphonic is a bit tricky since theres only one envelope, same as RS09. if u hold one note while changing others - all other notes will have gate env unfortunately.

done a quickie Neuron demo...

 

http://www.jannemecek.net/misc/synths/neuron/dreamdrone.mp3

 

loaded 2 samples (drone and some strings), added stereo spread, compressor and a bit of reverb, put slicer in 3d mode (to make it pan and detune a bit on the way) and set the blender to Dual Sphere mode...hit C3, record...nothing external, only neuron...

These are some decent demos I found online but still don't even do it the justice that I've heard the thing do. It is IMO the best controller ever made and one of the greatest romplers ever made. The Yamaha EX-5

 

Have a listen:

jeez.. it sounds great. it seems that making a industrial/ambient bed or drone for soundtrack stuff is effortless on this machine - just what i'd need :D . i do it but it takes a lot of programming synths like XT or TX and programming of several stages of plug-ins. tiresome adn time consuming.

 

 

anyway compelled by the MKS70/Matrix6 thread i've done a few demos of 'multitracked' MKS70:

 

MKS70-Multitrak.mp3 - 4 parts with help of some 808 drums

 

MKS70-DblPad+Spectrum.mp3 - characteristic JX 4osc warm pad and a spectrum sweep with 'whistling' IR3R05 filter.

 

MKS70-Exodus.mp3 - here's a quick thing using 3 classic JX patches - Violas, Cellos and Violin sec.
