Most modern simple equivilents you can't change the sent CC numbers from the unit, you need to use editor software on the computer. Ridiculous. I keep an old midi controler around (Evolution brand) for just this reason. - Oh, slightly related fact - one of the main guys behind the Evolution midi controllers, M-Audio ones, M-Audio Venom and novation controllers started the PWM company so the Malevolent and Mantis synths are from that same lines of... Evolution.

All the people say, 'It's a drum, Mr. Pilz.'

[@AndrewJohnClive]

I moved from Cape Town to London in 1998. While living in Cspe Town I had bought a Roland Jupiter 4, a Roland CR8000 and a 505. Running this stuff through guitar fx pedals into a Fostex XR-7, which had sweepable mids on the master section. This combination led to me spending most of my time locked away (prior to this I just had a guitar!🙂), I pondered the marvellous mysteries that poured out of the Jupiter with every twitch of a knob, or fader. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was happy to do it all the time I wasn’t working. So, I sold the Jupiter in part to fund my trip to musical Mecca (London for a South African in 1998), and upon my arrival moved in with a group of like minded musicians to embark on a two-year journey into the heart of darkness. Anyhow, one of these dipsticks I lived with had a Quasimidi “Raveolution”, and I must admit, even then, after my time with the Jupiter and its little friends, it sounded like a little Casiotone “one man band” thing with a really cheesy filter. 🙂 That’s my two cents worth..

[@Sycokay]

The Technox!!! ...that was my first ever synthesizer. Cubase on an secondhand Atari Mega ST, a 303 rack clone that didn't sound like a 303 at all, and no way to record anything because I couldn't afford a Tascam. Good old times 😀

[@AudioPilz]

Nice setup!!!!

[@ropeburn6684]

Add a simple mixer, a basic fx box and a tape deck, and you got the average 90s Techno homestudio! Thousands of great records were made using exactly this kind of simple setup.

[@Sycokay]

@@ropeburn6684 My simple mixer was a Y-cable that I soldered (and it would have given goosebumps to people who actually can solder). I added a Boss drum computer that didn't have any 808/909 like sounds. Basically, I was absolutely clueless, I was too late to the party and couldn't get any of the analog classics dirt cheap, and of course I lacked any real talent. But I had a boatload of fun doing nothing substantial 😀

[@Andronicus2007]

​@@SycokayNobody did anything substantial! 😅

[@SoundsOfRevolution]

Same here. It was one of the first tools I got and where I started my sound design

Quasimidi , a symbol of the 90's ! A timeless brand !!!

[@AudioPilz]

Agreed!!!

[@secretelitemusic]

I met the two German guys who ran Quasimidi the same day I met Doctor Bob. They were also enjoying a synth-free vino-lubricated conversation at the opening of a synth museum in London. They were nice enough guys, and they didn't mind admitting that they preferred the Rave-o-lution, musically and fiscally, because of the user interface, and the expansion options, which placed the unexpanded basic model in the right price bracket to make a small profit in a crowded groovebox market, then add fat margins on the expansions. Yay for pragmatism.

[@SoundsOfRevolution]

Indeed 👍🏻

[@Tomoroh_Hidari]

Nice one. I actually own a Technox. Got it as a gift many years ago. Finally brought it with me to London from Austria last year. Had a great afternoon playing around with it, having fun with how good it does THOSE sounds, just as you demonstrated. And ever since, whenever I work on tracks I'm too lazy to bother with all the effort that goes into using this thing. :D When there's plenty other machines or vstis around that are so much simpler to use. But one day it'll find a way into a track... maybe now that it's got the Bad Gear Seal of Approval!

[@arcadely]

All right, time for a more serious comment. With this one, honestly, I feel like - and especially back in the day - it's a great tool for getting a job done. You literally could do the entire soundtrack for a PS1 game, particularly a PS1 racing game, on this thing, and you could honestly get away with this and nothing else quite far into the PS2 era... and perhaps a bit beyond. Listen to some of Namco's early Wangan Midnight soundtracks to see what I mean. Same with Unreal Tournament 99: a bunch of that stuff could have been done quite credibly on this. I really like it, and I really like what you did with it. Definitely hits a certain nostalgia spot for me, and hard. Realistically, I heard a lot more of this kind of music on video games, CD, and certain TV shows and films, than I ever did in clubs, because I just couldn't afford to go to clubs for the most part, but this is still very much of its era, and sounds great.

[@AudioPilz]

The PS1 is strong with this one!!!

[@gamleoslo]

What a fun little box. Enjoyed this one :) Along similar lines and you'd probably enjoy it for the channel is Akai's SG01v - They had three little half rack units with LED display, three parameters per sound, little romplers. There was the SG01p piano, SG01k (k means GM, dunno why they didn't call is G) and the ultimate - the SG01v, V is for vintage. It's full of vintage synth sounds. Fun little box released at a time not far from when Jupiters were cheap and unwanted, and people didn't want vintage synth sounds. :)

I had one too. Used it in a wider set up which included an Akai S3000, Juno 106, Korg M1 and an Alesis SR16 drum machine. All run via an Atari 1040. The Quasimidi provided the edgy / cheesy element. Still got the S3000, but everything else is long gone. My favourite part of the Technox user manual was the incredibly poor translation to English. It also said something like '...so you can sound like all the other guys, with their baseball caps.' Or words to that effect. Happy times :-)

[@SoundsOfRevolution]

Great video that catapulted me straight back to the beginnings of my sound design! Thanks for this feeling :-) Quasimidi was an interesting company back then. As well as the Technox, I also had the Quasar (including the T. R. E. module) and the Cyber ​​6. There are also pictures of them on my website. I also programmed sound sets for the Technox and Quasar. You could get a lot of useful patches out of both boxes. Just listen to the demos on my site.

I replaced the main knob already from dust, not because of use. I have tons of synths and the Quasimidis are there in a corner.

[@pheargoth]

@@vjreimedia I bought on in 1999, and it was damaged on arrival. The LCD screen had been hit really hard and was floating around inside the chassis, detached. I didn't test it or anything and told Quasimidi. They immediately sent me a new one via air mail and said they'd organise a courier to pick the faulty one up. No one ever came to pick it up, so I thought I'd attempt to fix the screen, and it worked perfectly! So I scored a thousand dollar synth for free.

Proper synths were in short supply in the 90s;)

[@StopTryingSoHard]

It's techno polka time. I bought a flight case rack that had three of these and a Polymorph.

What a modern version looks like: Roland AIRA compact. The menu looks similar and it seems to be combination of J-6, T-8 and S-1

[@AudioPilz]

True that!

[@BassWorkENTRTNMT]

Incredible how good your jams are without EFX :O

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!!

That last tune was a total 80s sci fi movie chase scene banger!

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks!!!

I saved so hard for one of these back in the day - then missed out on it.. so I bought an Alesis QS6 (if you haven’t already done one - probably should consider for bad gear )

[@AudioPilz]

Alesis QS6 is tight!!!

[@telogic1]

I had one of these in the 90s used it a lot on my music

[@AudioPilz]

Nice!!!
