CLASSIC DRUM MACHINE SONGS - YouTube Links....
Hi all....
Not sure if anyone has done this yet...but I thought it would be fun to start a thread where people link videos to songs which used classic drum machines. Hopefully people will follow the same format:
ROLAND R8

Roland R-8 was not used on InSoc's eponymous LP. My understanding from the CD-G graphics is that they used samples from Akai S900 and Roland DDR-30. I'll try to dig up my copy of the CD+G I made and do a screen shot of the part that shows their equipment list for that LP.
By "format", is this what you mean?

I doubt this is a definative list since it excludes the Roland D-50 which I'm certain is used on "Lay All Your Love..."

Re: CLASSIC DRUM MACHINE SONGS - YouTube Links....
I seem to recall from an old Keyboard mag interview that InSoc was a big fan of the Voyetra-8 and used it extensively.

From http://www.insoc.org/DiscIS.HTML
Also, more CD+G shots from their first album: http://www.insoc.org/graphics/GalCDGTh.HTMLRoey [Shamir] seemed to know how to bring out that powerful booming sound we were going for. It was in these mix sessions, in fact, where we first came upon that signature "Information Society Sound"; Big bass boom with a LOT of syncopated synth echoes. It was the echoes on the bass synth that really gave the track the proper feel, IMHO.
The big boom in "Running" was just a TR-808 kick drum married to a Moog Progidy bass synth sound. The big boom in "What's On Your Mind", "Walking Away" and others was an SP-12 kick, a bass synth, and a way-tuned-down SP-12 tom.

HERE is a song that used the Roland R8:

Apparently this is the first record, ever, to use a drum machine for all their rhythm tracks. It was a Bentley Rhythm Ace (whatever that is).

Bentley Rhythm Ace = Acetone Rhythm Ace FR-8L. Roland's first product, the TR-77, was basically an updated FR-8L.

Re: CLASSIC DRUM MACHINE SONGS - YouTube Links....
My neighbour has one of those in his recording studio. In fact it is the only electronic instrument he got, which in my eyes is very sad
