Martin Agterberg - Rebolty Yours Forever (1984)

YouTube via GeorgiRusev — April 30, 2010 — "Dutch synth producer, who uses a lot of different analog equipment. Very melodic, very catchy sound bringing back the 80's electronic nostalgia. Martin Agterberg worked together with Fred A. de Groot."
My brain is not working - what's the synth on top of the Polysix?

Roland System 100 Modular Mixer 103 with Spring Reverb

via this auction

"The Mixer 103 is a cool add-on. Features 4 inputs and 4 sliders, and mixes these down to 2 outputs. There are two analog VU meters (a nice touch) as well as panning, mono effect sends/returns, and a built-in spring reverb! The Model 103 is designed to sit on the right side of the System and feeds the Monitor Speakers. The speakers provide a stereo monitoring source which is another great (optional) touch! The Mixer not only has outputs for these speakers, but also Line-Outs for use live or in the studio!"

Oberkorn Test Jam

YouTube via FatSynthDude — June 05, 2010 — "So it turns out that the Oberkorn problem was just one of having been given the wrong power supply. I've contacted Noisebug about it, so hopefully they'll get me the right one soon so that I can run the Telemark and the Oberkorn simultaneously. XD

In the meantime, here's a quick jam session I threw together to make sure everything was working. Nothing too fancy is going on here, just a cheesy psy-trance loop I threw together. I got the Oberkorn mainly for modulation rather than note sequencing. In this video, it's controlling the filter of the FRXS, the filter for the Red Square, and the filter for the Pro One. The gates are being used to bounce the steps to wonderful yet random places. The Oberkorn is being clocked from MIDI, which works extremely well, by the way. ZTracker is sequencing the synth notes as well as the drums from the MPC1000. Mixing is done by a pair of StudioLives. Effects are being handled by the StudioLive's onboard effects, a Zoom 1202, a Peavey AddVerb II, and a pair of Lexicon MX300's.

I apologize that I ended up having to use the camera's audio for this video. The StudioLives were supposed to be recording the main outs to the computer for later syncing, but because my computer hates me, it recorded all of the individual channels with no problem, but not the master output. I would just go back and rerecord it, but I'm fat and lazy, so this is the end result. :-("

Roland SN-R8-01 & SN-R8-08 PCM ROM Demo

YouTube via zibbybone — June 05, 2010 — "Forgive me followers for it has been nearly 2 months since my last video - I've been busy with work and life. I scored these two PCM cards (Contemporary Percussion & "Dry") for the Roland R-8 & R-8M yesterday at an estate sale along with a Linn 9000 and Studio Electronics SE-1. Many have regarded the Roland R-8 as the best ROM drum machine ever made and I tend to agree. It is still a great drum machine today, although I prefer the R-8M rack versions. I just wish someone could come up with a way to increase the internal ROM sounds. Enjoy this "filler" video and hopefully my life will settle down so I can get back to making videos of my vintage synths in the near future."
