Roland TR-606 triggers SDS-200
Here I show how I trigger two drum modules from the trigger outputs (hi tom and low tom outputs) of the Roland TR-606.
The drum modules:
0:00 The Sonor Mini Mammut is a drum module which can play 8-bit samples via rom chips. It contains a chip with a single sample. A cartridge with 8 additional sounds can be inserted (like seen in the video). The cartridge contains samples like guiro, shaker, cabasa…
On the panel you can choose the sample you want to play. The samples can be modified in many ways, including an analog filter.
Made in Germany, 1986. I added a delay effect.3:55 The Simmons SDS-200 is a fully analogue module with 2 channels – 2 toms. It is highly tweakable, you can do a lot more than toms – even ring modulator effects. Made in England, 1984.
Both modules have trigger inputs (no MIDI). These two modules are highly tweakable and allow creativity.
The MS-20 Mini Part 7- VCA2
Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the 2nd VCA present in the Korg MS-20 Mini, with patching examples.
KORG MS-20mini The Self Triggering Patch
The KORG MS-20mini can be set in a self triggering condition by patching the square/pulse MG out to ESP section and, from ESP, back to EG 1&2 Trig In. On this way, you can fiddle with front panel controls while the machine is repeating EGs on and on. For pure fun, a little bit of pink noise is processed with S&H for FMing both VCOs.

New ambient track by Steve Roach
Recorded live Saturday morning Feb 16, 2013. Created with Steve’s mobile live – studio.
I set up for a few days in the house I grew up at in San Diego, Calif.
The house is empty now, the memories of the past meet with today.
Hope you enjoy this gift to my friends of the music.
Steve

Demo of Roland SH-5 – Analog Synth from 1976
The Roland SH-5 is an early monophonic analog synthesizers from Roland. It has almost everything, that you could wish from a analog monophonic synth: 2 VCOs, 1 resonant multimode filter (highpass/bandpass/lowpass), 1 bandpass filter, 2 LFOs, Sample & Hold, ring modulator, oscillator synchronisation, noise generator (white and pink noise), ADSR and AR envelopes. Also there is a nice signal mixer with routing capabilities.
