These things sound really good together: Freaq FM, Roland TR-8

You are hearing a tuff little techno jam I had with Roland TR8 for drums, Wirehead Instruments Freaq FM groovebox for all the tones, with added OTIS Lifetones delay FX on the Freaq alone and Korg Volca Mix to blend them. Midronome supplies the MIDI and analogue clock sync.
Crum Drum not used in this, but for more on both the Freaq and Crum, see this demo I made for my pals at Thonk who sell em: • Who needs modular synt...

    This is amazing! I had to buy a Freaq off the back of this video. Looking for a Midronome alternative to sync the Freaq with midi devices. Will a Doepfer MSY2 do the job?

    Not sure about the MSY2 (quick read looks like it will). For what it’s worth, I generally use a lazy Volca to consume midi clock and output sync to the Freaq.

    Thanks for the Volca tip, that sounds like a good solution. Congratulations on creating the Freaq FM. I'm yet to receive mine but can't wait to start playing with it. It looks like a lot of fun! 🙌

    Duuuude, what are your scatter settings on the tr8 here? Never managed to get anything interesting out of that function, but this is great!

    Can’t remember details sorry - except “use it at like the lowest settings it can go to” 😂 Just the most minimal amount helps and on and off quickly!

    Does the freaq fm have a midi in and out port?

  • @mylarmelodies

    @mylarmelodies

    Unfortunately not, just analogue sync in and out!

    Was the Midronome strictly required??? Seems like you couild have gotten midi synched with just the TR8 into the Freaq FM?

  • @mylarmelodies

    @mylarmelodies

    5 ай бұрын

    An intermediary is required unfortunately as the TR8 doesn't have analogue sync, and the Freaq doesn't have MIDI!

    Silly question but what is the Crum Drum doing in this setup? Some sort of drums? Why not use the TR-8 for that?

    Sorry I should clarified but Crum Drum isn’t audible in this specific vid!! Would have added excellent zings and pings

    The cake is a lie (hey there are two sound makers, but yessss we know the mixer and fx are critical)
