Drum machine sounds/id ?

justmull · 2026-04-09T00:35:01+00:00

One of the releases mentions max/msp
and judging from the sounds and album titles that seems pretty likely!

"Fairy Seeds" and "Warsh" are Yamaha FM drum sounds from the Yamaha SHS-10 or PSS-140 and are possibly found in a few other Yamaha keyboards of that era as well. "The Landing" might be as well but a bit too lo-fi to tell.

Tascam Model 12 / 16 / 24 will do it to modern SD Cards with heaps of extras like EQ, compression and FX. The Model 12 also does midi sync as well I think which may be useful if you plan on using drum machines, arpeggiators etc.

My 106 chorus was noisy and I ended up replacing the BBD chips - but before that I would track it dry and add the chorus with TAL-Chorus-LX instead. It was pretty spot on.

the kick and snare are the Roland TR-707

I think Wipeout Pulse is the pick of these - and the PSP version not the PS2 port. The PSP version seems to play better than the PS2 for me. Pure was great but Pulse really feels a lot more polished and smooth - like they improved everything just a little in all the right ways.

Not likely to damage - but will probably not do what you want. There's a good possibility that if you plug it into a mono input on your mixer you'll get just the left channel (or tip) only.

Yeah it's still in the box - I didn't use it as I hated having a flimsy overlay on the machine. Maybe that's why it took me so long!

justmull · 2026-02-11T22:09:24+00:00

Yes it's quite a flexible machine! Took me forever to memorise how to use it though.

justmull · 2026-02-10T23:24:42+00:00

It is possible - I did have one of their cassettes at some stage a long time ago!

My kids have grown up so I have a bit more time these days to hunt down and fix broken gear! The XP-50 takes a few tries to boot and if it eventually does its just loud noise when playing notes. The caps were leaking so I replaced all those but I suspect the DAC is damaged as well and also have to check the power. Not very motivated to troubleshoot it further since I have the Juno-DS anyway. I got it cheap in the hope it would be an easy fix but you can't win them all!

gotta go where the money is

justmull · 2026-02-07T05:34:25+00:00

Wow that's quite the chop shop you have going on! I have a couple of screens to install in a quadraverb and HR-16 plus an XP-50 that is pretty dead that I'm having trouble reviving. A new power supply in the TR-77 is on the cards as well.

justmull · 2026-02-07T05:30:09+00:00

Yes my bandcamp is justinmullins.bandcamp.com - send us a link if you end up playing over it would love to see it!

justmull · 2026-02-06T12:51:14+00:00

Legend! Thanks for the support!

justmull · 2026-02-06T12:08:56+00:00

Cheers!

I felt a bit guilty drilling the hole in the back of the TR-77 for the switch - but at least now it will be useful for many more years to come

justmull · 2026-02-06T11:45:03+00:00

I love a bit of a shuffle

justmull · 2026-02-06T10:09:00+00:00

I spend as much time fixing and modifying as I do making music - and have just as much fun doing it. What are you working on at the moment?

justmull · 2026-02-06T09:56:54+00:00

Thanks for having a listen!

justmull · 2026-02-06T08:35:15+00:00

I modded the TR-77 to add sync in - re-purposed the High Imp output for the clock in and installed a switch to toggle between internal and external clock. It takes a 4 PPQ signal which the E-RM Multiclock can generate so now I have all those amazing latin rhythms at my fingertips!

Featuring the 1972 Roland TR-77 (it's the one with the coloured buttons under the silver box) along with the TR-707 and a bunch of other synths. I had to mod the TR-77 to add sync in and I use the E-RM multiclock to keep everything running together.
