Kebu - To Jupiter and back (TR-606 + Juno 60 + Axxe + Logan demo)

I wanted to learn how to program my Roland TR-606, so I thought the best way would be to compose a song with it. And here's the result!

The song was recorded live. No overdubs, performed in one go straight through! The video was recorded with multiple camera takes afterwards.

The TR-606 sends external gate trigger-signals each time a high tom or low tom hit is activated. I muted the tom sounds and used the pattern sequencer for the low tom for controlling the arpeggiator clock of a Roland Juno 60 instead. The pattern for the high tom controls the gate to an Arp Axxe.

The Logan String Melody II is run through a EHX Small Stone phaser. Both the Juno and the Logan is sent to a simple delay. I would have wanted to have the song 100% analog, but my space echo broke down, so I had to use a digital delay (TC M300). All instruments are also fed more or less to a stereo spring reverb (Vesta Kaza RV-3). The output from the mixer is recorded with a stereo cassette deck. Mild EQ and limiting was used in the final digital mastering stage.

The song title? To me the song was an adventurous voyage, hence the title. :)

Many thanks to Timo for selling me his well kept TR-606!

you don't have a CD or an issue with your tracks ???

[kebunator]

@absurdusisyourmaster I am actually in the process of recording my debut CD, but due to a hectic schedule it won't be ready until 2012. But I'll keep you updated!

[TR0jAX]

very nice, did you compress the sound , or didi you do any other master ?

[kebunator]

@TR0jAX As stated in the description, the output from the mixer was recorded with a stereo cassette deck, which provides some natural tape compression. Mild EQ and limiting was used in the final digital mastering stage.

I know this is probably really simple, but how do you make the panning of the Juno-60 at the start?

[kebunator]

@bjcsupertortoise Yes it's very simple: dry signal left, delayed signal right. :)

[FrogdogSweden]

God damn I love this tune. Made my hair rise on my neck... Absolutely awesome!!

[AusDisciple]

Very cool!! I love that phaser. It has Jarre all over it!!! Creamy and rich. The Juno arpeggios are great too. Nice work.

[sauermusicDE]

Very nice track! Good choice of equipment.

[soundmanhaven1]

cool classic keyboards there :)

[GENERALSEQUENCE]

Cool sounds, the Juno is a great engine ! I use a ROLAND SH-201 for example. It sounds like many of the good old analoge synthesizers from ROLAND.

Please take an ear to my channel, if you like.
