Three 101-VCF Modules Polyphonic Filter Demo 03 (Roland SH-101)


Today I deploy THREE 101-VCF modules for some polyphonic synth music.
The three filters are getting their CVs round-robin much like a polyphonic synthesizer distributes their voices.
To do this I use the sequential switch to rotate the firing of envelope contours going to each 101-VCF.

Pittsburgh Synth Box - 101-VCF #1
DNA Symbiotic Waves - 101-VCF #2
Rozendall CEM3340 VCO - 101-VCF #3
Bass - Behringer Model D
Pads - Roland Juno-1
Envelope Contours - 2xADSR dual envelope
Sequencing - Arturia Beatstep Pro Pitch CV and clock
Kick - Future Retro Transient
Hats - Tiptop Hats909
Additional percussion - Roland TR-606
Delay - Timefactor
Small amount of Reverb - Strymon Big Sky

Recorded live in one shot.
Some post-processing in Cubase 7.

[Roland 909 Day Demo] Juno-1 / TR-8 / RE-20 / 101-VCF / JP6-VCF


Today a special setup for 909 Day!
Featuring some classic Roland circuits.
The highly underrated Alpha Juno-1 on pads and leads.
Getting a dose of cloudy reverb from Strymon Big Sky.
A TR-8 deploying the 909 kit in floor-thumping action.
Smashed to extra crunchy bits in the DBX 166A compressor/limiter.
My RE-20 Space Echo pedal on delay.
The 101-VCF has its input overdriven by Pittsburgh Synthesizer Box.
And the Rozendal CEM3340 VCO going into the JP6-VCF.
Having its resonant arse kicked around my Spring Tank Reverb.
Beatstep Pro on sequencing duty.
