QUASIMIDI RAVEOLUTION 309

[hallugi]

great rhythm.well done

[101303909]

I've got 4 QM-309 fully expanded and two Polymorphs to play live at partys those days but golden era of techno has gone and no i've got only two QM-309 and one polymorph to got pleasure making something in my spare time :)

[xdeville1]

i love this piece

[dubchronic]

You know... i'm about to buy one now... And it's YOUR fault! ;)

[MrBoxxed]

I agree, the GOLDERN AGE OF TECHNO..alas....still the love is alive

[capullobocazas]

very nice

[Fonzyfication]

Thats a great groove you have going @3.40. takes me back.

[TheRealTakumaji]

Another Quasimidi box I bought as soon as it came out. It's a nice machine to play around with but despite its direct-access and groovebox setup, it has a number of flaws that make it difficult to use for live gigs, for ex. MIDI problems during pattern changes, etc. Sound is okay, even though it can't hold a candle to most current grooveboxes. Sold mine after a year and never looked back.

[LoopStar2008]

very cool!

[SLagerZahne]

Nice stuff!

[dhollseed]

proper techno, mr vibes!

i will get this baby next week, wanna combine it with my rs7000 for some dirty and hard techno (berlin needs it...the kids here have never been beyond 125bpm)

[kellyssa3]

I like your track. Thanks for posting ;-)

[nathnullobject]

One of these little beast just fell into my lap from a very dusty garage. So I thought I'dlook up some tunes made with it. Yours are by far the most digestible. Thanks for keeping it techno. This thing sound good. Always wanted to check one out but pretty rare in Australia from memory.

[aidanday]

hahahahah...

I remember when these came out...

98 or so? I wish I had one. I'm always jealous of hardware since I sold all of mine and switched to Ableton.

[JVGmidi]

if it goes out of sync you could always sequense it with your pc.

[deisian88]

sounds freakin hot,too bad it glitches!!!

[jarsamo]

Wow! I wish I had bought one of these instead of MC-303 back in the days...

[harlemnightsmusic]

Had one of these for years... Very very good performance here!

[ventouse]

nice!!!

interesting to see how you build your groove live, me wants to make the same thing on my jomox xbase 09 ^_^

[aRhesusMonkey]

Some bloke called aphex twin uses one of these, whoever he is...

[popitem]

This one is for sale yeaaah ! i wish i 've had enought argent in the pocket ;)

[eJoonjah]

Super!!!

[ChosenOneJew]

hello all i recived the other day this rave-o-lution but i have no manuals for it...

could someone please tell me is this compatible with the use of Logic Pro?

[stormvit]

ive checked with one of my friends and he says its compatible. BUT...you have to download a certain patch for logic.

if you just google "quasimidi rave patch"

then you should find it,. or look on the utorrents.

[adygee]

Haven't watched this in a while - it's still great!! :o)

[mamal1975]

wo super

[m3t4n01a]

onde vende???

[kipptumor]

We must have a fluke model. We have ours synced up to our Ableton/laptop system as a peripheral MIDI device and it stays in perfect sync all night long! The light or LED is out on the LC display however. This is STILL a wonderful device for live performance.

[mu0p]

Mine goes out of sync about 3-4 minutes in :(

[vjjasper]

totally enjoying the hat sound

[plasticro8ot]

Some of Aphex's kitlist: Raveolution 309 Raven Max MC-909 limited edition Quasimidi Van Helden MAM Freebass 383 Roland DJ-70 E-15 SP-808 Akai S3200 Behringer MX602A all the Behringer effects that copy other things He's also rumored to use Ableton & enjoys the LiveSlice plugin to edit his beats.

[vilan]

He's only joking..you know?

[paddyheadz]

cheers m8:-)

[paddyheadz]

could you recommed a machine as i'm a house producer and looking to add to my hardware. I have an RS7000 and a Virus. RS7000 is brill for drums and sampling but looking for something with some dirty basses and melodys.

Any pointers on new machine to look out for?

Like your track:-)

Headz

[HoweGavin]

if you're looking for something new and alil cheaper go with the korg EMX its pretty good, it has synths and drums

if you want something more expensive just look around on analoguehaven (.com) they have really good stuff

[103959770979]

#1 Radikal Spectralis

#2 Elektron Machinedrum

#3 Jomox 999.

Everything else is crappy dude.

Study and read about this and you will find out which one is for you kind of music.

They are the top of the line.

I own a spectralis and im very happy with.

Good luck.

[tjs6025]

Hardly... those are great machine but they are not the end all be all of drum machines. What about a Jomox 888 or even xbase 09? What about all the old Rolands!! What about an MPC loaded with some amazing drum samples?

Everything else is not crappy, as you point out.

[digitalzero]

The old Rolands are decent. The 909 is a little stale for my taste. I love the 808, though it could be argued that it, too, is stale. Judging solely by YouTube demonstrations, I agree that the Speccy, Machinedrum, and 999 are top-notch, but the 888 is also very worthy of a spot on that list.

[onezeroeightzero]

haha what a joke, you judge music equipment with your ears, not your eyes.

In the right hands, a Casio is top notch. Go away and learn a bit more yourself before judging.

[snevelin]

Use the Virus, program it and it's capable of anything.

[nickmusic12]

so what is the general name for these beat making devices?...like i have a synth keyboard but i need somethign to make beats.

[aikighost]

Try searching for the term "groovebox"

[siedgey]

Man I'm not sure how many times I've watched or commented on this vid, but every time I come back I still love it. There's such a nice groove to it and the sounds are so nice. Go and buy another one so I can hear more. :)

[jewsandarabwaterpark]

Ha. One of my old synths. I remember getting more aggressive synth lines than a nord lead.

[acidgus]

salut

super jeux en live...jolie!!

(spud..audiofanzine)a+

[pillowheadkiss]

All that just to make a few techno beats? Sounds really cool thow. Quality is not bad eather. Thanks!

[actodi]

klinkt lekker broer!

[quasinoise]

i like your track, man. i own that machine since 1996. and i love it. hardware rules!

[PhonokolRec]

very good minimal stuff!

[FreeChinaFromTibet]

boring crap

[longded]

ah its you God how ya doing ? un f@kin believable!

nice to see one getting a good kicking!

have one got years ago just go a desc for the

out jacks , still rocking march 2008! thats abosolutely sick!

or is that a myme? lol revisit!

[Raydensheraj]

A true classic...

man damals in den 90ern wollte ich einen so gern!!!

[DjPuzzle73]

Hi there, was wondering.. do you have issues with the timing of the sequencer? Mine is never the exact BPM unless it's slaving.

[digitaljosh]

I don't care for the sequencer stopping/slowing down, but the sounds are great. Great Beat!

[rrreger]

nice one :)!

[theau61]

really nice playing. I have problems with the record mode. The 309 looses the tempo, and I don't know how to prevent this...

If somebody has a tip, I take it !

[Kinor7]

I love when machines comes "alive" like this! It's a wonderful brake-off from all digital, clinical stuff out there. Great job!

[siedgey]

Very talented use of this bit of kit, lovin the track you have made from Scratch, I'm really impressed! Mr Hawtin would be proud.

[dejayreal]

man this is wank - youd get laughed offstage . cant even follow a simple 4x4 pattern , breaks more than a skoda

[horusrogue]

... He's producing, he's just filming it

Producing isn't a live feat, don't be an ass.

[petrokemikal]

love it jesus...

[Schimpmaster]

i have it too, it´s very cool.

i love this groove box

[sevice15]

yeah...that rocks...!!!

[h792]

I had 2 of these. One got damaged, the other stolen. I bought a Sirius but it wasn't as good, for me. I miss my 309. I can still remember some of the patterns!

[Dvs35]

im drooling ! ik kwijlllll

[TechBongo]

Hell yea... thats what we call real live.. ;)

[TechBongo]

Hell yea... thats what we call real live.. ;)

[halation777]

Why didn't you use the bass part?

[gimpmyzee]

yawn ...fell asleep

[iGadget]

booooooorrrrringgggg!

[klausito1970]

Why are you pressing the record button on and off?

[electronicvibes]

with OS#3 you can switch fron step record to direct record on "drumgrid" mode by pressing record button

[iweim]

thanks for idea! good sounds :)

[klausito1970]

Thx! I ordered OS3 and have built it in.

[saturnee7]

@klausito1970 What effect did this have on your 309??? I am seriously considering getting the OS3 if it will fix the "skip" bug it has.... you know? how it kind of jumps for a split second when you change parts???? Did OS3 solve that bug for you??? I would GREATLY appreciate the information...... otherwise, i would be selling this as I need a solid "LIVE PERFORMANCE" groovebox... thanks :)

[WARDISWARD]

is it virtual analog or sample based ?

[Seabrook78in]

I have a Sirius

[vectorass]

After watching your vid I took my QM309, wiped the dust and........spent couple of hours playing with it. Thanx, you give me a good kick!

[909techno]

really, really awesome track!

[kmfdm84]

Thanks for sharing the Raveolution 309 as a stand alone device. I'm sure you already know how difficult it is to find on audio samples on the net due to its discontinuation.

[shaft9000]

are you married to the rave-o-lution?

nice fat ring

[electronicvibes]

I got married last month, I share my love between my wife and my techno gears, but I do not share my techno gears with my wife!!

[xdeville1]

@electronicvibes haha ..nice x)

[AZUREkiteMAN]

@electronicvibes IS it a open Relationship(for you)? Oh ho ho...

[darwenn63]

very good video i like it ,we want more ,is there a part for bass and lead there is a part of synth on this machine ?

[electronicvibes]

7 parts : kick, snare, hihat, percussions and 3 synths (bass and lead). Hope I will be able to post a démo of MC505 soon :)

[jchart01]

I'd like to hear that 505 stuff. I have a 505 and am considering getting a QM309. I like a really harsh distorted sound. My ability to compose is pretty minimal. So far I create really chunky and ugly sounding slow techno that the heavily distorted kick modulates square wavish when it hits. Would the 309 be any good at this sound? How does the 309 sequencer compare to the 505's, especially the Megamix? Lastly... most importantly what's a good price for a 309 in 2008?

Good work btw!

[longded]

i gave £ 120.00 for the first one with no power supply , blew that up and paid a further £ 250.00 for a second and sed the front pannel off the old on the base of the new as the new had had a good life with its own power supply so reasonable money to pay for someone with any common sence would be anything from £100 - 300 but i spose its down to how many owners want to part with, but crunch crunch is one way to describe the sound ? yet probably a simular sound off pc software? good luck ?

[electronicvibes]

If you like to create minimal stuff with harsh sounds then that beast is made for you. Nothing to do with MC505, the 309 filters sounds analog and are sharp like a 303, there are enough synthesis paramaters for sculpting the numerous perc sounds as you should like. The sequencer is bugged but there is a special groove that I couldn't find in my stiff MC505. I really love that machine and I will buy a second one very soon for 300 euros (with all exp)

[jimv2006]

enjoyed! more!
