Being involved in the development of the Zaquencer Firmware in the final stage, he now added it to his arsenal for creating his unique sound: “I already use mostly hardware synths and sequencers, but the Zaquencer still brings something to the table. It´s as fun and intuitive as an oldschool analog sequencer, but it goes much deeper with possibilities if you want it to.” ZAQ audio: https://zaqaudio.com/testimonial
What a fat chorus that is. Especially for synths. It just needed some little tweaks to shine in the modulation section which was a little too fast and to weak for my taste. -LFO speed mod (1mikro Farad switchable in parallel to C32) -higher vibrato depth (remove R41 and replace with 470k) -chorus / vibrato mod (lift R28 and R34 where they meet. Tie them together and put it to the switches outer isolated lug. This removes the wet signal) -get two of those for real stereo chorus (the second…read more
-volume potis (from mute to normal and overdrive) -glitch mods -pitch oscillator mod I used J2 for ground and IC 10 pin 14 for 4.5 V source for the oscillator. Pitch tesistor is 10k log reverse. cap was below 100nF. The HKA mod is also very interesting, put it already to the TR707 Mods: 350€ + parts (knobs+housing) + postage (No VAT (small business §19 (1) UStG)) > Documentation: TR-505 Pitch Bend Mod www.jacobkorn.de 2014
Duration 8h for Mods: 450€ + parts (knobs+housing) + postage (No VAT (small business §19 (1) UStG)) Here is a little drumbeat on the 606 to demonstrate the modifications done by discrete audio solutions and me last year. the sound of the polite machine is now ready to transform into the direction of TR-808 (BD, SD, HT) or even TR-909 (SD, LT, ). this is one of the most complicated mods i have done so far, since the PCB and housing of the TR-606 is very small and a lot…read more

Some sound improvements to the classic BBD Chorus. Sounds a lot smoother and a little bit like a Dimension D!

Ok, this is the shootout of two Roland drum machines. The classic techno beast from 1984 the TR-909 and the 2014 new kid on the block with 909 and 808 sounds onboard the Aira TR-8. Both got their own sweet spots in sound. i tried tuning the TR-8 as close as possible to the pitch and sound shaping possibilities of the TR-909. The recording was done while MIDI slaving the TR-8 to the 909. I tweaked both machines live and overdubbed them on the fly to show that the elements…read more
