Études Alpha Nr. 1. ZAQuencer & Alpha Juno & TR-8 Jam

Études Alpha Nr. 1. ZAQuencer & Alpha Juno & TR-8 Jam

I’m testing the Zaquencer firmware for BCR2000 and finally got a programmer for the Roland Alpha Juno, the Mode Machines/Dtronics DT-300. I quite liked the synth line so i jammed along.

The Zaquencer is a fantastic piece of software. It gives you 4 sequencer tracks, each one can be set to drum/note mode with a nice chord function for polyphonic sequencing. I highly recommend checking the developers website.

Roland Alpha Juno 1
Roland Aira TR-8

Eventide Modfactor (hh)
Blackstar Drive (hh)
Malekko Wolftone Sloika mkI (kick)

Mode Machines/Dtronics DT-300 programmer

Random Acid Jam on TR8 & TB3

Random Acid Jam on TR8 & TB3

Classic acid sound coming out of the TB-3/TR-8 combo.
So many great new tools at NAMM show this year. Makes me want to shop instead of doing something productive. But no $$$ left – so I just jam on the boxes that are lying around.
