X1L3 - circuit bent TR-505 + Elektron Analog4

Published on Mar 13, 2016 manufacturedZ3R0 .

"Improvised session on one of two recent 505 commission pieces.

I work on these from time to time but not often. It all depends on if i have the time. Try me, you might catch me on a good day.

Underpinned by a bass drone from the A4 which is also feeding the 505 control voltage at its filter CV input.

Starts out with some spoken word on the external input and builds from clean to increasingly dirty manipulation of the loop.

Commission is £500. £150 deposit to secure the build. The remaining £350 payable on completion + P&P. Turn around is generally around two months give or take. It depends on how busy i am with real life stuff.

Mods include:

Global pitch
Individual pitch
Individual channel mixing
Envelope controlled square wave generators
Digital delay
Analogue resonant filter
Distortion
External audio input to fx chain
CV in to filter cutoff
5v trigger out (slaved to the cowbells as on a tr626)
3 x 5 rom glitch matrix
CNC machined aluminium, black anodized + engraved panel work

Thanks to:
http://www.burnkit2600.com/

Who provided me with a lot of insight into how to modify these a way back.

And take a look at:

Cool guys doing good stuff."

Roland TR-8 Synced to Roland TR-77

Published on Aug 28, 2014 Echo Return

"The TR-77, Roland's first product, debuted in 1972. Pre-MIDI and pre- DINSync. But if you're clever, it can play well with others.

I routed the TR-8's handclap to an individual out, and ran it to the Footswitch stop/start of the TR-77. This allows the TR-77 to start and stop on command via an audio signal, so I placed the handclap on steps 1 and 14 of the sequencer and hand-adjusted the TR-77's tempo to match.

While limited, the old Roland has a surprising amount of expressive potential. Pressing multiple buttons at a time combines beats.

X0XB0X is run through the EHX Deluxe Memory Boy

All tracks recorded into PreSonus Studio One

Schmidt on Acid

Published on Mar 28, 2015 kpsiegel

"It started snowing today and rather than get all bummed out about it I fired up the Schmidt 8 voice poly, my burnkit2600 modded 606 for beats, and my Cirklon and just decided to do a video and jam out. The patch on the Schmidt was all original. This is as it was recorded live. No EQ. No compression. No extra effects. The 606 was going through an Ekdahl Moisterizer on a mixer send channel. The Schmidt was going through an Eventide H3000 D/SE also on a mixer send.

Recorded directly out of the mixer main outs into my DAW. Watch it in HD for best sound."

With their internationally acclaimed series of tributes to Kraftwerk, The Beatles and Devo already established as benchmarks in the global scene, 8-Bit Operators return by popular demand, this time honoring the timeless synth-pop of Depeche Mode.

Curated by electronic music veteran Jeremy Kolosine, this inspired new collection entitled Enjoy The Science (June 10th release) features the world's leading artists in the "chiptune" and "synthpunk" movements performing highly musical, lo-bit video-game hardware re-imaginings of 15 favorite Depeche Mode tracks, spanning the band's incredible 30+ year career.

Showcasing the globe's most inventive, influential and innovative Operatives of 8-bit arrangement, programming, application & hi-tech production, 8-Bit Operators collective is addicted to the sound character delivered by various micro-chips made iconic in the late 20th century (in Nintendos, Ataris, Gameboys, Commodore 64s, Speak & Spells, etc.), and when these devices are musically re-tooled, adapted, or even "circuit-bent", brand-new creative options and sound palettes are invented.

This collection illustrates, joyously, the emotional versatility, intensity and fun of "chipmusic" especially when inspired by the rich melodies and thoughtful lyrics of Depeche Mode's Martin Gore and former member Vince Clarke.
