simple 80's

The simple 80's, featuring the Yamaha TX81Z as a Roland TR808 Drumbox. They said it couldn't be done? HAHA. Either way, goofed around with the live random arpeggio function in studiovision. I fear there is lag in the video. My computer is 10 years old this year.

I just got my tx81z last week and so far im having alot fun. very nice for electro witch is what I make, did you start from the d bank with the snare then fiddle with the envelopes?In the short time having it already I find it fits so nice with other gear.never intrusive and compliments analog gear and any gear chained. Its not so hard to edit like alot people say  it is,Anyway yea I am very impressed how close you got it to sound the the tr-808. Fanstatic!!!

naw. all the drums were from the INIT PATCH.

I knew sort of how an 808 makes its sounds, so I just figured it out using that blueprint.

wholy shit a tx81z sounding close to a tr 808.will wonders never cease.I would have said no way.

fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

Its easier to do than you might think. Thankfully, the envelopes on the TX are pretty fast.

very good arrangement and taste in fm patches... so many people just try to make it sound like a juno

[Gazdatronik]

Yeah, I don't understand the Juno hype myself. They aren't all that great. That's why I chose the JX3P instead. My TX and I have been through a lot together. I do have a couple of analog killer patches on it. Maybe I'll do a dedicated video for it.

Oh yeah, I can clearly hear Jean Michel Jarre's influence there :) Well done!

Thats great the drums with the pahser or flanger sound a bit like Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express. I prefer the DX-100 as it's more hands on but I have bad luck with them as every one I had has broken on me so now I'm left with a TX81Z lol

[kekenalii]

dope

[madmomentsgo]

[mummstylesound]

Sounds great! I´m also a fan of the JX-3P.
