I struggled a lot today with dumping my patches back into my Alpha Juno 2 after having changed the internal battery. Turns out that the MIDI channel needs to be set to the same MIDI channel that was used when you dumped the programs...

Wanna know how samba drums sounds like played on a Roland TR808? Fast forward to 3:20!



Analog synths & drum machines only!

Hello, I thought you may find this approach interesting enough to warrant a post here: I made a tune using only a 4 track cassette recorder and a drum machine triggering arpeggios on the synths. No sequencers or computers used (except for mastering). Only analog synths and analog drum sounds used. h...

Thank you! I'm very glad to hear that you liked it! I'm using an Electro-Harmonix Small Stone phaser on the string machine sounds. It is just running free, but I did take a few takes of each song and chose the best takes for the record. Fortunately, the phaser is just so good sounding that most of t...

Hi,

When you have the arpeggio triggering to a rhythm you cant add octaves to the arpeggio (1 or 2 octaves) and combine that with the up, down or up/down alternatives you will get interesting patterns, although you just play one note.

Yes, I've kept track of all my expenses, and only bought used synths. Fortunately, the price for vintage synthesizers has slowly but steadily gone up, so I would get most of my money back if I sold everything now. But that won't happen - as long as I have a daytime-job (knock on wood)... ;) I haven'...

Heh, that is a LOT! Tens of thousands of euros since I started my "hobby" (more like a half-time job) in 1995. But I started working on my own album just one year ago. Before that I've played keyboards and mixed in many different bands.

Thank you!! Much appreciated!

Finally, my debut album is ready!! The album consists of music made only using vintage analog synthesizers recorded in the old fashioned way using only sequencers, tape machines and analog mixers. Here is a medley of songs from the album: http://soundcloud.com/kebu/to-jupiter-and-back-album Here is ...

Bump: video added!

Thanks! Just hold out 'til the weekend, I've got just one like that coming for this remix!

Hi everyone! I'm participating in a remix competition for Above&Beyond's "You got to go". I saved only the vocals from the original track and remade all music using only analog synths. The analog synths and drum machines were controlled by a MIDI sequencer and mixed in realtime together with the voc...

I just uploaded the music video for my second single from my upcoming album on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXsvhXRdh74 http://soundcloud.com/kebu/kebu-pulsar I composed the tune already in 2008 and the tune is a tribute to one of my biggest influences, Jean Michel Jarre. Only analog synt...

Thanks,

Heidi Väisänen filmed it. I'll send her your regards!

Thanks! Yes, I should vary my clothing a bit more...
