ROCK SCHOOL - Series 2 - Episode 2 (part 3 of 3)

Taking over from where the first series left off, the second set of ROCKSCHOOL television programs focuses its attention on new technology and its implications for the musicians of the day.

Synthesisers, samplers, sequencers and drum machines are all covered, as are electronic drum systems, computer hardware and software (remember this is 1987 - so this is for retro-heads only) and synthesisers for guitar and bass. There are also tips on how to make the most of the human voice, and on songwriting and arrangement.

This series was shown on TV in the UK during 1987.

I wish that awesome G77 bass would get sucked into that green lazer time-tunnel and land in my jam space!

Is there any way to get this? It's definitely helping me.

True story: I went to the music store to buy MOTU Unisyn editor librarian. The sales person ostensibly said that people don't program sounds anymore. Also, I wanted to buy a MIDI patchbay, again, the sales person said that now all synths are in a PC not in a rack. I think I miss the train or have been in a cave, or something...

Listen carefully to Omar, kids. I play in a Beatles show and even that has a click track for the lights and visuals. Most modern shows will require you to groove with a click.
