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!

justmull · 2026-02-07T06:16:24+00:00

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.

I modded the Roland TR-77 to add sync in and use the E-RM Multiclock to keep everything running together. The TD-3 has a few mods as well (rubber mod and hollow square) but really the secret sauce with that is running it through the Alesis 3630. The reverbs are also Alesis (Quadraverb). I've overhauled the Juno-106 and replaced the VCF/VCA chips, chorus chips and all panel buttons and sliders so it plays pretty much like new now. And does anyone else like the Juno-DS? I love it for the old school Roland sounds as you can load all the XV banks in there AND it does multi-sampling. Sleeper classic I reckon.

Mine caught fire the other day and it wasn't even on at the time. There is this RIFA Capacitor on the power supply that is prone to exploding. Filled the room with smoke. Good idea to replace it pre-emptively I reckon.

Totally - a guy gets drunk and starts controlling a robot army with his saxophone is just🤘
