  1. Monday's tune is drum n bass. Another live living room test, writ today with minimal effort, stereo out into Reaper to record. #Behringer CRAVE/CAT/Solina, #Roland D110, #EMU Classic Keys, #Alesis DM5, #Sequential TOM and #Ableton just running 6 MIDI loops to trigger soundcloud.com/ingie/dumpling

  2. Well, have decided to try my hand at creating music with #sequencing after rekindling my interest in #electronicmusic - bearing in mind the last time I used a sequencer it was an #Alesis MMT8 - and it was new!

    This time it will all be #inthebox though. Cubase includes a simple but handy sequencer called Step Designer and I've installed the free VST plugin called #Stochas which has more advanced capabilities like 'probability' attribute per note and more... I may be 'asking the audience'.. soon!

  3. Is there anybody here that has a dumped #Alesis #Midifex EPROM they are willing to share? #audio

  4. purchased a used 1990ies #alesis #midiverb III for cheap. it's a reverb/delay with MIDI control. but it doesn't work, the "CLIP" LED is constantly lit.

    found a service manual with a partial schematic online, so I started digging. turns out, the 12V pos and neg voltage rails are broken. the LM7812 and LM7912 both short their input, but they're protected through diodes that's why the 5V voltage rail is unaffected and the digital part still works.

    To me this feels like a time travel to my childhood, where almost every electronics project started with a 7805. exactly never are they seen in today's devices anymore, due to their low efficiency and high thermal loss.

    maybe I even fried the device myself, as I plugged it to a random 9V power supply with a fitting barrel jack I found. but it was AC, not DC...

  8. I took the occasion to have a peek at the #firmware (version 1.02). I was surprised to found plenty of text inside. The unit does not have a display capable to show it, so the only thing I can think of is that the firmware was common with other #Alesis products of the time based on the #M4C chip and sporting a more capable display.

  9. Right now I have, in my possession, a #Roland #MKS50, a #Kawai #K4r and an #Ensoniq #ESQ1 (all synths, in case you don't know). I've got a #Tascam 414 (4-track cassette multitrack recorder), a #Yamaha #REX50 (effects unit, basically an SPX-90 with added distortion algorithms) and an #Alesis #Quadraverb (more effects). All I need is an SR-16 drum machine and I could make an album like it was 1990 again.

    Yup. That bit makes me almost as misty-eyed as #HACF ... 😢

    My first exposure to #RISC was in the #Alesis digital reverbs like the #MIDIverb and #Microverb. Suddenly, thanks to RISC, ordinary musicians like me could afford something as iteratively elephantine as a #DigitalReverb.

    It was shocking.
