i was playing around and wrote the old batman tv theme on the tb303 and the sh101, playing them off against each otherI transposed some of the notes, added some slides and changed the timings on the 303 and on the 101 I played the D# D C# rather than D#D# D D C# C# […]

so mapped out the pad with a bunch of percussion sounds and bass drumthe percussion is from the Roland CR-78 and kick from the tr606 Bathing in Ecstasy by DyLABs

a big lush pad from the heart of the TX7this is what FM synths are for apparentlythis and clangy soundswill be more from this later- big ambience

next stage of the moon lander trackarranged, eq’d mixed and ghetto masteredinspired by the Apollo 11 landing on the moon and that famous sampleplenty of synth goodness in this trackenjoy Moon Lander by DyLABs

a new finished track from me, called Triad. Nothing to do with Chinese gangsters honest, why Triad, well 2 reason,1 there is a traid of synths used, sh101, mc202 and tb3032 the acid line sequence is based on a g major triad and the mc202 and sh101 is based on its accompanying minor triadmusic theory […]

to celebrate the moon landing 40 years ago here is 21 bars of something I am working on – called Moon Lander3/4 acid from the 303 and weirdness from the sh101

I have a kenton filter and modulation mod on my Roland SH101this allows the filter and modulation to be controlled my a midi to cv type device or any cv signal this little experiment the sh101 has a single note sequence trigger by the tr606the tb303 is playing a simple one octave scale and the […]

been glitching the tb303 and then fucking around with the loop braces in livesome breakbeat action, big bass and kick and some snares (snares need work)its a bit muddy in places so EQ to clean it up a bit enjoy the glitched 303

this track started out with me making some variations of the walking bass on the 303 and the 101 – the little adjustments here and there and some drumming and here we have walking acid – there is a touch of delay and reverb to the main acid line – then some subtle distortion over […]

an old school sounding number this time acid feeder named because of the F E E D A acid linethe tr707 is there for percussion and the tr606 is the main kick – recorded pretty hot to beef it up a bit this one is on soundcloud toowith the rumours of OVI’s demise I reckon […]

this is another new acid track – this is a work in progress – trying to work multiple 303 lines and moving snare and toms around a big central kick, i think it might need another breakdown and need additional percussion to accentuate the cutoff rise on the 303 – enjoy Poly by DyLABs

this is 90% roland sh-101 – drums and hats from tr606lots of big synth sounds – lots of harsh high bitsand lots of other analogue goodnessagain using soundcloud for this one B Minor by DyLABs

new acid track – bit of a long jam then sessioned it all into a tracktb303 and sh101 on synthstr606 on drumshc-2 on clapping this one is on soundcloud G#A#BBA# by DyLABs

If you remember this post where I posted a short sh101 and tr606 jam. I have now reworked the little remix I did into a track in progress. In the days of Colin Dale I guess this would be called abstract dance now I just call it techno Enjoy

this is the completed version of the trackAll sounds from the yamaha tx7, edited, FX and mixed in ableton liveenjoy the FM synthesis download the mp3

been going through the heaps of patches I have for the tx7 and the best way I reckon is to start a trackhere is 24 bars of tx acid made exclusively of tx7 patches I have found on the net this is a dx7 patch page I have been grabbing patches from

got some new gear this week-i have picked up a yamaha tx7 the box version of the dx7 synthlooking forward to entering a new world of FM synthesis also picked up a Roland D-110 sound module and a yamaha dd-5 drum modulehope to get bit of these into new tracks soon

following on from the cut up cosm bassline technique this is the same technique used on a tb303 basslineabout 10 acid lines from the machine all different settings then cut in live and bussedthen the bus is eq’d and automated a lot the noise is from the sh101 – warm pad noise rising and falling […]

the tr606 and the sh101the sh101 pattern/ sequencer is being run by the tr606 LT trigger outso can alter pattern timing on the flyenjoy bassy steppy thingkinda old n minimal and this one is with a download done a little remix with it which is downloadable too

haven’t really felt like writing tunes so just been jamming out with the gear and tweaking away, added the roland sh101 to the mix with this jam, still all pretty much dry , a little adjustment of levels and eq in live and some ghetto masteringenjoy you can grab this here

here is a little jam with the tb303 and the tr606kinda live well apart from tb303 pattern which cant be livebut the tr606 has live edits and stuffno effects – straight record and a bit of level correctionenjoy 10 minutes of afternoon jamming

got rid of some of the exciter and widening stuff going on

this is another synthetic trackall written in abletonthis is a slower half step ambient style tracklots of pads and tonnes of delays, verb etca little bit laid backenjoy

back to the tb303 here I comehere is 16 bars of what I’m currently working onsomething a bit dark and brooding with the sh101and the tb303 providing a fast acid pattern with plenty of movementsaturation and verb on the 303drums from the tr606 and tr808 samples enjoy and download it if you like

following feedback from ITM have edited the tr808 play one tune and taken advice onboard for the cheesy8-08 track tooeach track has been shrunk down and some of the high top end has been rounded off a little tiny 808 playshortened the track but still tried to keep the main build structure – added more […]

this was a quick track I did this arvocheesey as it can getagain all done with the mighty roland tr-808i reckon the bass could do with getting more distorted as the track buildsbut hey enjoy it for what it is Download the Cheese!!

This is my third track made entirely from roland tr808 samplesthis one is a bit more glitchythe main synth is practically electrocuting your nuts offif I had a CIA handbook on interrogation techniques I could name it after the one where they wire your nuts to a car batteryenjoy the BZZZZZZZTTTTT BTW this one will […]

Another 808 sample track – again all the sounds from the mighty roland tr808 and a few FX from inside live and away we go, this is more of an electro feel but definitely on the techno vibe too Enjoy the analogue goodness Also if you want to download itHere is a 320
