Nah no worries, i was tired talking about my machines anyway for the time being |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
When was that? I live in Utrecht. Next time you visit we'll grab a beer |
||||||||

You need your own place |

I don't understand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The last time I spoke to you, you told me I couldn't visit you because you moved in with your parents |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My parents? They have been divorced since I started college in 2007.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have shared a house shortly with my father because we both were in the middle of moving and my old ass father didn't have a dime or a job to get somewhere without help of anyone. Of course I wouldn't just invite someone randomly over at such a time.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Ow ok, I misunderstood back then. Sorry. But you still live with your dad right now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Clue is in my previous answer mate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Why won't you play it in real live then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Could you just iterate that question a couple of times inside your head? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I don't mean the spelling, but genuinely, just iterate over what you're actually trying to achieve here.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahaha...I see now what I said. My English is bad, very bad. Sorry about that. I was trying to achieve an invitation to your home, you showing me your 808 machine, "in real life". Love to have a jam session once mate :-) |

fah - have you ever considered making up Cat Girl Synth modules? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Deffo considered Ken Stone's designs, i'm imagining of a slanted big wooden brick with a massive synth inside it and a matrix pin-panel (like the ones inside VCS3s) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ooh la la |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

u need to fix your SD m808, last time i checked a soundcloud clip it sounded awful.. turn up the noise dial inside the machine m8 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i turned down the tone knob for the last batch of tracks, there are three sounds generated by the sd. the tone knob adjusts between two sounds. left = low tone middle = both tones, slightly quiet right = high tone i was experimenting with the tone knob, i wanted my newer tracks to sound subtly different to the older tracks Try listening to this one: https://britishacid.bandcamp.com/track/custard-cream-comman do do you notice the same issue? i sold a 303 back in 2007 and bought another in 2008 , the first had sticky buttons and sounded like crap, the second one which i own today sounds amazing. it has a few blotches on the back of the case but it was stored in someone's basement in the USA for 20 years so it was hardly used. the rule is no two analogue rolands sound the same but i do agree that your 808 sounds really great m8 |

It's the noise tail of your snaredrum that makes it sound like "chicken frying" rather and during the build of mine that was caused by a wrongly tuned noise coming from the generator. It modulates a portion of the impact part of the envelope generator as well for that instrument.. I believe the sound of yours means there's too little noise coming through to wake up the parts that make it go "pshhh" instead of "pflll". The rest of the circuitry can't really go very wrong, did you know though that the tone max height was different in earlier batch of the tr808? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No I didn't know. I never was a fan of my own 808's bassdrum but I don't mind the snare drum really. It's down to taste. I would really like to find the one with drexciyan hi hats though. I might sell my 808 on ebay and use the money to buy a different 808 lol ;-) |
||||||||

|
|
Accent's always turned all the way up on mine, do you think that makes a difference? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Totally down to taste, keep buying them until you got the drexciya one !! Accent adds a bunch of voltage to the spike of current that makes up the oscillation of each instrument, so the peak of the slide is louder, more clipped, fuller |

btw let me ask you, how did you get your music on vinyl? were you pm'd with lots of offers or did you send out demos? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Never sent out demos unless a label asked me for them. All times I have been approached through FB pm, soundloud pm, email, in person, etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got two offers randomly this year but they never turned into anything, do you ever get that? What do you usually say? Do you just hand over .wav files or tapes straight away or do you ask loads of questions or what? Help a noob out here please with some good advice :-) And I think I will change my 808, I've been considering it for a while. Thanks for the advice bro. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

No worries man, glad i could help for real. In what way did they not turn into anything? Bad communication/(artistic) differences? I have had loads of them to be honest otherwise I would have much more out on vinyl haha, but that is just what it is. When you don't feel 'the magic' with a label, don't do it. I always let them talk about their work and label before moving onto the bizniz (then you will also know if you're just going to be filler or these people are genuine fans of your music). I send them hi q mp3 first of concept album/load of tracks/etc (the more the better), unmastered wav when settled on which tracks are going to be sent to mastering/pressing plant. Also don't be afraid to ask/talk about whether you will earn anything with it or whatever when there's no talk about it, some good label owners just flatout go "you get this amount of total" or "we sadly can't give you any money up front but will send you x amount of copies to sell for yourself". Ie just keep the talk chill and honest! But, it really all depends on what direction you want your music to go into, i tend to be a bit more strict with who i release with depending on whether they just want a bulk of random music from me to choose from or genuinely ask me to release an EP/album with them. |

Great reply m8. I'm gonna be on a cd soon with some online buddies @xephem records, we're all gonna share the cost of about £30 each for 100 cds in total. Feels good creating something with friends. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm, have you ever been interviewed by the press? You should be interviewed man, would be cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Man the feeling of creating is often more exciting than the releasing haha. Good work though, go forth and make art ! |
||||||||

I was once but I had to make a podcast mix for it to be released, and then I realised I'm really shit at making podcast mixes, so that interview never came out. They're always the same though kinda, what influences, favorite record, bla bla |

did you read this? it's my friend in china is looking for electronics work making pcbs or anything like that i wonder if he can get you a cheap price https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=181572 |

Yeah I saw it, I might have some use for it in the future though I'm working with a collective of interactive media designers who might be interested in this for their next installation. Will pass on the word |

are you a member of muffwiggler? it's really great for hardware people. nearly everyone on there has a big studio and they're all super nice. |

I think i have an account there... or that was another diy forum, like electronicmusic.com or something similar. Posted an LM13700 filter protoboard design there once.. |
||||||||
|

|
|
totally wrong website btw but my memory is a bit hazy these days, too much work, too little internet bingeee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah electromusic.com is dead... muffwiggler is alive! didn't you have some modded drum machines? did you replace the eprom on some gadgets? i just asked about you in the color squad discord, they're already big fans of yours |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I built my own protoboard drummachine once (used it on ) but also made a usb rom sample burner to plug into the Yamaha RX5 based on GliGli's schematics |
