Korg T3 Brass Shortie
Переглядів 1043 місяці тому
The amazingly fat Korg T3 brass, slightly edited by me!
Totally loving the Korg T3 in 2024. The ultimate Korg synth!
Переглядів 1913 місяці тому
This is the golden days of Korg R&D - 1989-1990-1991 - The T series is such an extremely nice experience both for playing and programming. The sound is lush on these and yes it has a completely different feel compared to the plugin. The plugin interface doesn't match these sounds and this programming environment. The sequencer is extremely powerful and direct. Easy to use. It's in retrospect ea...
Well I had fun with the Korg T3EX and now I know why EX is cool!

The EX expansion adds about 100 waveforms so even if you're not importing samples it's an ultra cool addition. I've started to program sounds and I'm mind blown by this dirty old non functionsl synth I bought for peanuts. Pretty sure even the diskdrive works now. My joystick mod is super fun to play. Demos are coming.
Korg T3 renovation project. Is the EX expansion of any use in 2024? Let me know in the comments.

He Removed The Dots (A Story About Jens)
Переглядів 1384 місяці тому
Jens Kallback Källbäck 1975-2021. The track is available on the Bitley release Moment. It occured to me I had some photo and video material of Jens and it felt like a good thing doing a video montage to the story, which was created in the same vein as our collaborative EH! music project, which we had for all years from 2006 (when we made Lost Shoe) up until things just came to a stop.
Synth Drumloop Vocoder
Переглядів 3284 місяці тому
Merging the audio of a fat synth pad (from our refill Way Beyond Fairlight) with one (factory Elab) and a drum'n'bass loop. Automation on this gives you the Dry / Wet balance and different frequency bands from 4 to 128 in the vocoder are also changed over time. Check our music platforms for a complete track result in the near future sound of Notlondon and you will just need to search for Bitley.

I'm the service manual they mention they are running engineering changes. It seems they changed (upgraded) the CPU at some stage.
Love this!! Was getting pleasantly drowsy and nearly dozed off - that lead sound woke me right the heck up again 🤣
yo i have one of those
I think this thing was used for E.T.'s Communicator Tones.
I wish i knew how to do stuff like this when i was really using the esi back in the day. I only ever played loops and drum samples. cool video showing what it can do.
behaviour one of my fav
Fantastic mix...😎👍👍🌟🌟👌👌🍸🍾!!!!!!......

Hey guys - a zillion thanks for listening a million times! Don't miss the Sugar & Spice remix! ua-cam.com/video/wyy1W06TVGM/v-deo.htmlsi=WYqGy5hAXkiJjyc6
This is a properly sick remix - a little more spice, a little more funk. Well done.
Oh thank you so much!
Big Collection 👍
Wonderful. Things in our life can indeed be keys to our memory. I used to play this game with my kids on longer car rides, where they were to give me 2 nouns, and based on those I would tell a story from my childhood. Worked every time.
Oh I loved that and also storytelling where one says A the other one B and so forth 😂 Remembering a lot of ROTFLMAO sessions incorporting this. 🎉
Awesome gallery ;)
It was a matter of deciding whether to focus on them at all... or giving them the deserved focus 😮❤😅
Bro i swear to the lord to this day i still make beats with your fairlight xxl refill dude i can not escape them damn sounds u are a very dope sound designer!
Thanks, you should upgrade to WBF R2 which is even better :-) bitleysounds.com
Hi, My T3 just came back to life today... replaced internal battery and all the good stuf is gone. I've managed to find some sysex but it's far from what this thing is capable. Do you have any good sxsex that you are willing to share?
I managed to locate the original soundbank so I can put up that on the site as a free download. I will work out a freebies & general help page. Personally now building on a bank of my own which will take a longer while :-) My site though is bitleysounds.com and T series content will be up in no more than 15 days from today but might be up in 15 hours too - just can not have any pressure right now.
By the way don't you have any floppy disks for it? If it is an EX it has RAM to recieve sample dumps too.
!!! HEY !!! You do NOT need that expensive Ebay replacement adapter !!!
Well my s1000 rack doesnt sound like this at all. Does it have a fx loop?
It does indeed! Build sounds on the internal waveforms and discover its internal synthesizer.
Can you put scsi2sd in them?
Yes absolutely
love all your demo tracks i recognize
90's
Jenezeta -Endlessly, great track, I've listened to it a lot. I like your composition and arrangement.
Oh dear that is so heart warming to read, thank you a million. Imagine that this track only existed on one of these tapes for nearly 30 years. :-) I had forgotten about many of these tracks. Was great transferring all of it from a minty Yamaha cassette deck to Logic & Reason for mastering and publishing.
@@bitley I'm glad you transferred them :)!
@@Miicrowahvei❤❤❤ Thank you very very very much!!!
Look for the Jenezeta releases ;) From Bitley
Magnifiquement bien joué, un travail d'orfèvre et surtout des mains en or massif, et une imagination débordante, cela s'appelle un don de dieu 😊Musicalement votre 😊 Sachez que je vous regarde depuis MONACO (MONTÉ CARLOS)
😂😂😂 the stick. You made me laugh hard!😂😂😂 cheers
😂😂😂 You know I looked in my toolbox for solutions and I couldn't wrap my head on how to fix the knocked off joystick so this became the Bitley Stick, next revolution in synthesizer history! Wonderful to play with. Every man loves his stick! Well I'll stick to the script...
I found out! It's a lovely addition! 100 more internal waveforms!
Brilliant. Timeless 80s synth.✔️
BEST BAND EVER !!! MY YOUTH SINGS ! AGELESS BEAUTY WITH GREEN AND HIS VOCALS AND BAND 😍😍💕💕👌👌❤❤🪄🪄
Beautiful,thank you......
This is really cool! All the more so for having been done the old-fashioned way on an Atari. Don't suppose you can remember what the stuttered resonant sweep patch is (eg. at 1:03)?
That thing is something I do sometimes, inspired by Art Of Noise actually, by triggering a percussive sound from random high to low notes on the keyboard. Thank you for taking the time to listen :-)
Ahh nice, great trick. Another good use of that effect here: ua-cam.com/video/qL4OuEeYj-4/v-deo.html@@bitley
Dreamy!
Beautiful ❤
Stunning...how was the music done?
Thank you very much indeed. A wide assortment of hardware and software instruments recorded into Logic and Reason as well as recording of the Macintosh voices. Guitar parts were performed on keyboard with those sounds coming from Omnisphere 2 and a Roland XV-5080 synthesizer / sampler module. We were using our own soundbank Way Beyond Fairlight for Reason as well as other sampled sounds that I and Jens had recorded & designed over the years. The audio file is also available on the Bitley release Moment on Apple Music, Spotify etc.
@@bitley clever the Mac voices
@@bitley I thought maybe AI 😎
@@ronrobins3513We have been using them a lot over the years both collaborating with others and my solo projects. On the release Yellow Orange you can also hear them singing thanks to the software Vocal Writer, which only runs on machines no newer than the G5 Mac. The developer of Vocal Writer passed away to soon as well as Jens did.
Lol. No, just a spur of the moment. And much later, a video as my girlfriend suggested I should gather pictures etc. It is a mysterious story somehow and kind of eternally. He is deeply missed as one of the most creative and funny guys I ever met. His light moments were wonderful. Alcohol was his drug in the form of light beer. This kept him up but brought him down and nobody knew how to save him. We hoped he would find a way.
Great trick! More details about the routing would be nice. I tried to do it myself but cannot wrap my head around it...
Dearest Tudor Neve, cool to see your name which I recognize from many moons back online. This is the way; regardless if you are using Reason or old hardware or whatever you are using; Drum loop -> chorus -> EQ -> Modulator input on the vocoder Synth -> Carrier input on the vocoder Vocoder out -> Delay & Reverb Exchange the drum loop with your own voice to make the vocoder speak instead - just like in classic tunes like Lipps Inc. "Funky Town" etc.
It’s simple. I see a Reason video, I click. Great sound. They should have you on board for making patches for their new reason plus service. 😅 I think the vocoder gets a little neglected.
@@archivethearchives I will always be on the FSB anyway :-) Locate Amazing Lead and let it lead your way :-) Made about 50 presets or so and also those ReCycle 2 presets lol. My mad neighbour was actually at one time _my_ mad neighbour ;-)))
Amazing!!
Nice sound Demos on Tube but cannot find them to buy on your website 😢
I did it as an art project and almost gave the D-70 away. I got a TE synth that I spent months with and wrote a review about. So I make radical changes all the time. :-) Glad you noticed my work with the D-70. It was made from ground up and took many hours. Almost nobody cared so I moved on. But I miss it.

Apple Music. Spotify. Amazon etc! Thanks a million!!!
У меня 2 таких. ❤
You mean to thank? :-)
No chorusing on Goldish ? Show us how you programmed it my friend
I guess if you zoom you'll see no chorus is on :-) I have just one theory when I program and it's to finish & save when it sounds like I want it to sound. Sadly very few presets are made that way these days which is why I am a programmer for bitleysounds & Arturia as well. I like sweetspots and I hate ugly harsh sounds.
@@bitley Well I saw there are 3 osc, several LFOs but you get that swirling I like, kind of Pacific state something (sorry memory and lazyness doesn't help). Got similar sound on my Sledge though I need a bit of chorus... Kudos
Finally getting the recognition they deserved back then! Better late than never !
Love this..I have an old Roland XP80 and recognised the roland sound straight away
After many years I've gotten an Alpha Juno 2 again. It is really one of my most loved synthesizers.
Did you get the Gaia for the new wave table capabilities or just awesome new Roland synth??
No it actually was a spir of the moment but as soon I opened up the box and looked at it I realised it had these "models", the new version I assume of "plug outs" and that was very cool. The second thing was that the SH-101 in poly mode sounded REALLY good. All of the presets are basically utter shite but that's just inspiring for someone like me so I can get going. :-) The wavetable stuff is like icing on the cake that I've not even tried yet but it looks kindof tasty.
@@bitley come on… are you being dramatic about the Gaia 2 presets. Roland usually has at least usable presets. But being the expert Programmer you are, I’m sure we can look forward to a Gaia 2 preset collection from the one and only BITLEY 😊🙏🏾
@bitley Haha, I agree, they really are not the best. I was kind of worried when I got it because of that. Turns out it is absolutely brilliant when you get going on your own stuff. It is still sending shivers down my spine how good this thing is and fun to work with. I'm having a great time with mine. Cheers man, enjoy!
YEP Roland fanboy here as well. Maybe best of all time.
Glad you can confirm the Gaia 2 is another in the long line of awesome instruments from Roland.
been hoping this would come back. I do, however, have to ask. At 0:04 why is there a random picture of David Bowie and Iman?
so much classic ;)
At 5:11 I want more from that patch!
I owned one K4 in 1990. Made similar sounds myself, it was underappreciated machine. So useful and pleasant to play. I still today regret for exchanging it for Roland. Of course, it is always up to the owner to what extent it shall be used, what music you perform and how eager you are for making a hell out of it. Thanks for your contribution to nostalgic retro community!
Of course you get it. The D50 came during a formative time in my musical development, and to this day, only maybe the Prophet 5 is more important to the music that I loved growing up. 808 State to Prince D50 is LEGENDARY!!!
Yes I have always wondered a lot about Roland's strange philosophy of never including waveforms from older stuff as they progressed; JD-800 couldn't sound like the D-50 at all which kind of mezmerized me as they made $0 from the D-50 at that time. They would surely have sold 10 times as many JD-800's. Not even on expansion cards would they do this. Heck even the D-70 couldn't sound like the D-50. So weird. As memory size has grown exponentially we still had to wait for the Integra 7 to get a machine that provided all of the JV / JD / XV waveforms but still maybe just one or two samples / patches sounding like the D-50.
@@bitley Funny I was gonna look into acquiring a JD 08 heartbroken that they discontinued the D05 (and prices went thru the roof) for a small desktop hardware setup. The SE02 for bass, the Behringer Pro 8 (Prophet 600) for analog poly synth goodness and the JD 08 for wispy nostalgia pads and such. But I always figured the JD 800/JD 08 was the D50 on steroids…not so ???
@@ronrobins3513Both yes and no kind of - and this gets lenghty! ;-) OK because if you really want say Soundtrack which modulates Pulse width via velocity on the D-50 the JD can't do that. The D-50 is in fact a VA synth - made long before that concept was made up. So it can modulate the synthesizer (S) partials' waveforms just like a Jupiter 8, Juno etc. The dilemma was that the (P) / PCM waveforms on the D-50 couldn't be affected by the TVF filter. So therefore Roland made a compromise where all waveforms in subsequent gear were PCM waveforms that could be filtered. The downside was that PCM waves (=samples) are static waveforms. Modifying the PCM waves then? Yes some things were attempted and although quite interesting for us sound explorers those modulation techniques could not easily do convincing regular analog style pulse width and ring modulation things. 1. With the D-70 they tried DLM - dynamic loop modulation. This is very interesting in some ways; check out my Okinawa D-70 video to hear DLM in action. 2. With the JV-1080 Structure modulation was presented. Here we could attempt and sometimes successfully achieve really cool ring modulation. 3. With the JD-990 they introduced "digital oscillator sync" which also can create quite interesting stuff. But as the JV & JD engine kept being developed Roland finally came back to what the D-50 once could do in the digital realm. This took 20 years. This was lo and behold the SuperNATURAL synth oscillator. A technology they had put aside all the way since the D-50. Even here I would, if I was a Roland team member, make it a clear progression and I would focus on creating a JD-800 style synth with SuperNATURAL and it must have the following; • All of the D-50 waveforms • All of the JD-800, JD-990 and all JD expansion card waveforms • All of the JV & XV & Fantom waveforms And most importantly it must be sysex compatible to all of these previous instruments. Only then! Only then could they have a machine that could sound like all of the previous synths. Faking the D-50 sounds is quite OK as what they did with the sound library work. But those sounds are nowhere near the original classics. • Also, SuperNATURAL must have way more filter & oscillator charistics. So as you can see it is a jungle and while fun gear comes up like the new GAIA II Rolands' philosophies are such a japanese mystery. WHY did they focus on the GAIA name at all as most diehard synthesists despised the GAIA? What happened to the JP-8000? Lol. Such a mess. I think we have to wait for Roland to really think about all of this because they have for sure presented interesting machines. But the confusing thing is all of the product lines and nobody in the world could ever agree on what would be the finest technology. The original idea was that JUPITER was the top of the line technology. Then came JUNO and became extremely popular. Then came confusion number one. JX - what was it? Jupiter with DX-style sound abilities. That is my guess. Confusion number two: D series. "L/A Synthesis". Confusion number three: JV and JD introduced at the same time and somewhat compatible. JD - Jupter Digital? JV - Jupiter Versatile? Nobody knows so I can only make guesses. JP - Jupiter but without Jupiter? ¿ The 1981 monster classic JUPITER-8 is also called JP-8 even on the front panel. So was the JP-8000 / 8080 JUPITER range synths? Noone knows.... it really gets complicated. And more so with the JUPITER 80 / 50 / X and Xv. Roland has this funny way of creating competition with itself by doing all of these product lines but we who really love them have a very hard time putting our finger on which Roland synth is the best one. Ask around and some people say SH-101, some say JUNO-60, or the 106. And speaking of that; the JUNO-X and the JUPITER-X is just about the same machine in two different enclosures / product lines. I still vote for the D-50 as "D" for Definitely the most Defined digital Roland sound character. Is the JD anything less? No not really; it's awesome. But it can not sound like the D-50. I need a new Roland synthesizer that collects all the Roland synthesizers ;-)))
@@bitley thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with me . I really appreciate it. Sincerely thanks. I will go over every detail just as I studied Keyboard Magazine back in the day. 😎
