#tr-8

Guess who decided to pair up his recently-purchased Roland JX-03 and his TR-8 together for some fun techno/progressive house-ey shenanigans? Ohhh yeah, this Husky did. Because goddamn is it fun to play with the JX-03, like I said before.

Also I’m doing this a little differently than normal! This is a little abridged version of the jam I just recorded today that I’m uploading straight to Tumblr without any links to my soundcloud or downloads like normal. Since, ya’ know, Tumblr decided it was a good idea to say “fuck you!” to anyone who posts anything with external links in it of any shape or form. Thanks Tumblr.

*ahem* Errmm... but yes! I have to admit, I’ve fallen quite in love with my TR-8. And since I already love the shit out of my Volca Bass, I figured it’s high time I brought them together for some fun. Link them up, mash out some muzak, and have a good time. and then have them kiss

But yeah! Have some 90′s-flavored Techno/Trance. Courtesy of my lovely musical stylings.

THE NERDY DETAILS: The TR-8 is once again the master, with a Midi cable running from the Midi-out of the TR-8 to the Volca Bass. I also have the Volca Bass running through a 1st Gen Korg minKP KAOSS Pad, which is giving an extra reverb effect to the Volca Bass. Those both are routed into the TR-8′s external in, and then the whole thing is recorded in Audacity using the TR-8′s USB-audio capabilities.

It was gonna happen eventually, folks. I mean, I got both a Roland TB-3 and a TR-8 recently after all. I was bound to combine them together and do stuffs. Old school Acid House-ey stuffs, in this case. Especially since I’ve been listening to too many late-80′s Acid House-mixes on Youtube lately as inspiration. So I made some very simplistic stuff of my own. Yay for me!

Also I admittedly didn’t make use of the “Scatter” functions on both of the machines in this. Wanted it to sound as classic-ey as possible, so I avoided the Scatter and the built in effects this time around.

... yes, I'm chock full of horrible, horrible jokes. that I actually stole from @kiba-the-nerd-wolf but who's keeping score
