@vekter 303 There's two 110s in this system yes. They sound exactly the same as the 112, 121, 130 modules but there's differences. Only two signal inputs into the VCF and VCA instead of 3 on the dual modules. Ditto modulation. 110 oscillator has manual PWM _or_ external PWM but not both. 112 has both. 112 oscillators have oscillator sync and the 110 doesn't. 121 filters have switched hi pass and the 110 doesn't. But the 110 is incredibly handy for getting VCO, VCF, VCA into a single module so great from a real estate perspective.

I have fond memories of owning & using a system 100m. I had a 3 191j cabinet system, and acquired the polyphonic 4 voice keyboard you have there as well. I used it with a kenton pro4 and it worked well most of the time. It always took pride of place in my studio. Your brilliantly done video demonstrates how clean, zingy and versatile it can sound, providing you put the time in regards programming the patches; your patches sound excellent. At the time, i had a lot of work on with libraries and licensing, and the odd tuning issues on one of the dual vco modules, would cause a fair amount of bother. It was an 'all around the world ' purchase via ebay (per cabinet) and that may explain it, as they're usually more stable than any other modular due to the use of Curtis chips on all the vcas, vcos and vcfs; its the same chipset as the sh101, later prophet 5s and countless other mono & poly synths. As alluded to, i sold it on and had a tinge of regret, which my ever trusty system 100 managed to fill. I'm glad that roland made the 500 modules, but I'm waiting to see (and hear) the behringer ones in action. The latter can allow you to build up a powerful system for about the same money as it cost in 1979 to 1984; less if you factor in inflation. Here's hoping behringer's system is the dog's dangly bits. Better still, it can literally be combined with anything else now, due to the eurorack footprint.

@shatnersbassoonfunk 4 жыл бұрын
Coming out in 1979, the 100m was built upon the designs and technology that went into other Roland synths from that era. So Jupiter 4, SH series synths and the System predecessors from earlier in the 70s. This gives you discrete circuitry oscillators, a filter based on the ba662 and a VCA also utilising the ba662. Not a Curtis chip in sight. Which makes its stability and useability impressive but not surprising given the outstanding job they did with the 700 a few years earlier.

I've never really lusted after a system 55, 35, 15, or 10 but the 100m is a different kettle of fish. Perhaps, it's because I became really interested in owning synths around 79/80, a generational thing? A good way to start the weekend, any weekend, thanx Alex.
@AlexBallMusic
@AlexBallMusic 4 жыл бұрын
The System 100m is interesting because it's very late for an analogue modular synth given that was where things were a decade earlier and the direction had changed completely by 1979. So it's like the very tail end of modular and it's much slimmer and more bitesize than the monsters from the late 60s and early 70s. Guess that gives it a different appeal.

If you can find a copy online, a fascinating read is *Electronic Musical Instrument’s: What They Do, How They Work,* written back in 1984 by an author named Larry Kettelkamp with a forward by Herbert A. Deutsch. It comes to mind mainly for featuring a photograph of a single cabinet from this system in chapter 3. It’s slim and 36 years old, but it’s still (potentially) worth a look.

@@AlexBallMusic Alex a other user found out thats must be a +10V voltage into the cv input of the portamentochannel to use the full range of the slider. In this case i get a portamento about 2 octaves and the slider are full down.Its that the same on your system or it works without this additional voltage over the full sliderrange?? You have a On/Off switch on you original but not the behringer modul.Many THANKS

Great demo! Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed every minute of it. Although I suspect that your TR-77 (9:38) sounds were "tuned" slightly higher? Because they don't quite sound like those on my own TR-77... ;-)

I'll have to check back, but I think they were off the unit and I'd run them through an analogue mixer and eq'd and driven them a bit. Any tuning would be a digital mistake somewhere!

Hello Alex! love you videos , they are superb! Do you ever consider doing a doc on Korg analog synths? Of course Triton and new gen synths could be a great adding, but doc on MS 20 alone would be nice, especially with its impact on new wave in the 80s and its revival in the electro scene and indie in the late 90, early 2000s. Cheers!

Hi. A Korg documents would be a massive undertaking as there's six decades of history. I'm reluctant to take on something that big at the moment Although it would be fascinating, there is already an old Japanese Korg documentary made in the 90s that goes over those early days: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5aTkmxmZ6-Mp6M But yes, a single Korg instrument film might be more doable.

Nicely covered. Is the composition in Patch 3 inspired by music from Peter Gabriel's 'Passion'? The chord progression feels familiar. (Have to dig out my CD to figure out which track I'm thinking of.)

If only you had access to the switch module or a Ryk Sequencer. I'm loving the polyphonic sound demo, sits somewhere nicely between a JP4, JP8, Ju6 and SH101; maybe I will buy some Behringer products in the not too distant future or the Frequency Central 5U stuff.

Yeah the Ryk improves upon the original 182 for sure, as much as the original is a lot of fun. Those are very rare too of course! Works nicely as a poly, I agree. The filter is the same as the SH-2, Promars and early Jupiter-4 and it has that flavour to it.

Most excellent! Have you had the chance to try the Behringer clone of this system? Having an original would be beyond me (and most mortals on the planet) but putting together a modern equivalent is now a possibility.
@AlexBallMusic
@AlexBallMusic 3 жыл бұрын
Not tried the Behringer clone. Heard it in demos and it sounds good, but not had it for a side-by-side comparison with the original. I guess it's best to judge it on its own merit anyway. Pretty competitive prices for the modules! Especially as a four cab System like the one in this video is worth about £12,000 these days. 😬

I like how the system 100m sounds but I don't understand any thing! I'm even unable to create the sound I like on my Roland SH-01 (Gaia) The only patching synth I own is the tiny Korg MS 10 and I can barely patch it the right way! Anyway, I found your channel a couple of month ago and I enjoy all your videos!

Cheers Alex. The good old System 100m eh? Takes me back ..... You never forget your first time with a modular do you. The first tentative insertion of a patch cord, the overly heavy handed knob tweaking, the fumbling fingers on a slider. Then there's the first actual full performance .... and who hasn't pulled out a cord at the wrong time leaving your audience aghast at your lack of competence? Of course it's a vintage instrument these days, with the endless debates over originality and potential unreliabilty versus refreshes and even major surgery. Still I think we can all agree there's nothing clever about grubby patina on an old knob. Must go now, operating that old Buchla I bought recently has left me feeling rather oddibble shgjkdg ueyw.
