Drum Computers - Studio Time: S2E2

[@junkiexlofficial]

Make sure you watch this and all tutorials with headphones or good speakers to get the most out of the sounds!

[@sunilsolanki]

Another excellent video of some beautiful drum machines. Man your 5U modular system has really grown. Hope to see more of it! Thanks Tom for this series. A small correction. Phil Collins famously used the Cr78 in the track In the Air Tonight. Hate to be THAT guy!

[@TheAris621]

Can you tell us what you did with those processed 909 samples for the SP-1200? How did you process them?

[@junkiexlmusic]

compression and some EQ. Nothing to crazy! And sampling them a bit 'hot' into the sampler!

[@mother-fng-bonswa3612]

Always need talent no matter what

[@statikskynl]

the first time the 808 hit the top40 was in sexual healing by marvin gaye ;)

[@kamilpeteraj762]

Just a minor correction - it was the CR78 that was used in In the Air Tonight.

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

Exactly right;)

[@midnightmix2692]

Stefano Papaleo was about to say that

[@xDIGITONIUMx]

The TR-808 was used in "Another Day in Paradise."

[@SPAZZOID100]

Phuong Ta samples in an SP-1200.

[@mattrg320]

I think the best thing about these videos is that JunkieXL always seems so happy to share and talk about these machines. With such a large collection, it's a real treat to see and learn about many of these machines.

[@DjDarkD]

Honestly, I cannot for the life of me understand why people would dislike this video or why only 5 % like it out of the total that watched this. This is so generous and rare for a musician and composer to show us all these tricks and facts within a practice for free and even without commercialised cut-points. Tom, I would love to meet you someday or at least see you do a liveshow on one of these drum computers and synthesisers that you have been showing us. Hands down one of my favourite tutorial series.

[@int3533]

Awesome video. Nothing beats the sound of the good ol' SP12000.

[@Lalaland.001]

I think you ment to say the SP 1200 :D excitement will get the best of you when talking about the legendary dinosaur :D

[@Barney-ii1no]

Thank you for sacrificing your 727 for our viewing pleasure, R.I.P

[@amonster8mymother]

LOL!!! 8|

[@GL-uy3fd]

Thank you indeed, first time I ever saw it and fell in love ❤️

[@annother3350]

That one was done by a pro!

[@somuchusama663]

what a great person you are! even knowing the fact, that your drum machine can die, you still showing us this feature! you're the man!

[@premiumsofaclub9104]

3:30, sorry it was a CR 78 on Phil Collins, not an 808

[@guitarlover6002]

Fun drive down memory lane! I still have many demos with those sounds. Life is so much easier now. The LINN 9000 Was the classic. I still have Linn sheets for patterns on tracks I did. Before that we had to.... use live players. I still remember life before MIDI :)

[@Five2nd]

"sometimes, after 5 times using it, the drum computer is dead because you did something wrong. But in THIS case, this is done by a pro! Watch this!" DEAD

[@mikevenus4117]

Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom on music and the tools to make it. My goal is to make film scores and cues. Your channel is one of the best. Thank you 🙏🏽 and be blessed.

[@JohnSk82]

28:58 This is a really great sounding Drum Compugrreeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh ! Hahahaha you're a Legend

[@basiledaudet5774]

This 909 sounds so bright !! I love it ❤

[@tribalantidote66]

Hi.... Just listening to the detuned hand clap on the DX drum machine.This is a sound used hugely by Gary Numan although i believe he used a Linn LM1 at the time.Listen to Night Talk off of his 1981 album Dance.Again the same sound used right across his 1982 album i assassin....All the best ;-)

[@geluix69]

that was fantastic trip down memory lane for me, owned a yamaha DX7, roland TR-505, TR-909 and a R8mk2 with expansion cards.

[@davids736]

Ahhh, the 909.....tears in my eyes..... am here due to having a moment in the past listening to JXL vs Elvis, a massive tune at an awesome moment in my life when I was living in Thailand/Barcelona. Thank you JXL for an awesome tune.....

[@oleksandrpozniak]

Awesome! The great thing in HW boxes is that they make You commit!

[@qazwert007]

Thanks so much for your videos. Really love your passion and enthusiasm with your toys!

[@SP2333]

Just found your channel. I’m 45yo into rock but love synths and drum programming and have a home studio. I’m fascinated by your videos. Honestly I had to research and take a listen to your work. Amazing.

[@__spina__]

Thank you very much. It's a real pleasure to watch all your equipment and to learn how you use it on your work.

[@chuckriosmagic]

Thank you for these videos and your time, Sir!. You are passing on a great torch and I just want you to know that we appreciate you.

[@KirklandWilliamsWorkout3000]

Love that DX sound

[@MeAlexSenna]

Thanks for making this videos. You are a legend, I hope your drum machine survive in the end.

[@antonisfakiris505]

All of the machines were and will be always beasts-legends!!! With lots of History!!!

[@louissouyave3633]

@junkiexlofficial thanks for sharing! I've learned a lot from your vids. Not to nit pick but the Phil Collins track used the CR-78, not the 808.

[@AndyTanguay]

These are a real treat. What a collection.

[@dgiodamusic]

This was really interesting! Thank you Tom for you time and passion that you put on this series, very much appreciated! You totally deserve your success and I think this is a amazing way to "share" your success with us, letting us be a real part of your studio. Thank you very much for this opportunity.

[@davetbassbos]

Great overview of the history of drum machines!

[@dannydimercurio577]

Perfect timing. Been on such an 80's kick lately and I really loved watching this! Love these vids Tom!

[@urbanguard]

That's where I know you from! Weekend at Waikiki! Saw that band back in the eighties in Trebol Harlingen!. Great collection by the way.

[@SunnyLicious]

Wow! Great watch. Such awesome drum machines.

[@chinesemusic8019]

Excellent video of vintage 80's drum machines. I am hooked on your channel. The Alesis HR-16B had ability to individually pitch shift its samples too. Being 16-bit, it was cleaner. It was all I could afford in late 1989.

[@TweakerRay]

so sorry to see that the tr- 727 was broken :-((( Hope you could get it repaired... Thank you to show all the gear and taking the time to explain everything.

[@daleturner]

AWESOME!!!!! Did I see a HAMMOND AV-64 drum box in your space, at some point? (Early 1970s "organ" companion drum machine?) If so, would LOVE to hear/see how you use that (in the future, if you do another round of "drum box" madness)! I have one as well--it's a blast! The information you share is SO VITAL, it is beyond words! THANK YOU x 1,000,000!!! (Sorry about that TR-727--sacrifice!!)

[@daleturner]

Aaaaaah!!!! Never mind :-) I now see, in your AWESOME latest vid, that it was the BOTTOM HALF of the JUPITER 4 that I saw, lol! Looks super similar to the Hammond AV-64. MANY THANKS for the amazing instruction and "discovery" you are providing!

[@DjLeoZero]

Superb video - SP1200 all day long.

[@Finndog1973]

always love tuning into your vids Tom...i'm not a music composer but love all the techie stuff! thanks again

[@edmasters4454]

Great video - thanks, Tom!

[@andre-michelgoulet6933]

Ridums Lol Love you Tom. Thanks for these videos, real cool. Bring back the sound of old school JunkieXL albums please!!!

[@marctronixx]

Ridums and Cents! :) love My dutch vriend Tom... :)

[@kenpmerkley]

Tom, I have the .BIN files if you'd like that rock kit for the Drumulator and have the ability to burn your own EEPROMs

[@junkiexlofficial]

Awesome!! Please reach out to me via my site!

[@YoYoYo]

The interesting part for me was explaining how you use 909 with individual outs, fx and so on, and then sample it in the SP. Explaining the tricks on how you use them is great. 10x

[@neuronmind]

To me the tr and tb (and linndrums to)are so awsome because of their groovequantisation .The feel of these machines groovin is still special to day.It's also the succes of akai's mpc series who hat the linn quantize build in. Thx for the good soundquality of your review Tom .( it became time..)Now we all can start sampling! lol Fun to see your fatening up your sounds in the sp 1200. What you basicly do is turning them into 8 bits sounds witch sounds so fat. It's also the reason why a akai s-950 sounds so awsome. Greetz from the Netherlands to all gearheads

[@flyvernon7]

seeing all these iconic drum computers in action and hearing them in the raw is so fkin cool. your show is crazy, and that studio of yours? sheesh. i have learned a lot and have even began to invest in a modular synth setup.thanks for sharing your knowledge and collection with us.

[@festeplatte4225]

AMAZING VIDEO!!! Thank you so much Mate! What for great instruments collection, just like an heaven for any musician.

[@JVGmidi]

One of my favorite drumcomputers is the R8. It has a live rec etc. it's big by sice and functions with individual outputs.

[@maxmartinez6430]

Great Video !! I love all those 80's machines

[@vinnytnecniv]

I have always been drawn naturally to the tr-909 as a child in the 80s and dance music in the 90s, going to my first nightclub in 1997 at 15 years old clubbing 10am in trade turnmills, i always been naturally drawn to the sound of the 909 i still am, i love it ,best sound for me :-)

[@kzrv.4594]

Yes! The RX7 is fairly cheap :) JunkieXL, I have to say that your studio/gear collection is amazing!

[@peoplelikeus123]

I love this Video!!! Incredible machines. The Sp1200 still my all time favourite

[@billowen9823]

Great stuff Sir, I used to own the Drumulator:):):):), thank you for educating me on this wonderful equipment!!!!! Bill Owen

[@jamieally]

I like how you kept your cool when the TR727 packed in. I would have been cursing and swearing. I did have a little chuckle tho. Great workshop. Cheers :)

[@venusiansky]

I love drum machines. My 707 is bent and 727 is not. The bent work was done by Diabolical Devices and has worked great for years. It occasionally acts up when bent modes are enabled, but works 100% with bent switched off. Circuit bent drum machines are great for creating strange machine-like sequences and then sampling it for processing. I had another non-bent 707 that I recently repaired PSU input but sold to my friend.

[@moralpaniken]

I wanna take time out to thank you for doing these videos. They make me wanna do music. i have a question about Ipad music programs. Do you use them? DM-1 for instance. drum machine or synths?

[@SampleScienceSounds]

Beautiful, your drum machines are so mint!! Thanks for the video, I like these walk through in drum machines collection.

[@iggswanna1248]

Thanks for sharing Tom!

[@dsphotos]

"only one drum computer died" :-)) so good, love this channel. you are a true inspiration

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

HOLY CRIME MONEY! How does a person come into such a wide array of modular gear? That can't all belong to just one owner!? Don't you feel subdued by having such a huge palette to choose from, I mean, wouldn't you feel like those big boxes are playing you, instead of the other way around? I've been soldering some eurorack kits a little over one year now, feeling quite insignificant, and sad because I'll die before I ever feel like I got adequate usage from it! I guess it's a matter of balancing all aspects, like watching your diet, balancing the fun with the discipline! Thanks for showing off some legendary boxes!

[@rico1979]

Nice video! Thanks RIP Ikutaro Kakehashi

[@modularcat5743]

Id love to see a demo of your 909 out to CV on the modular. Amp at 200% SYNC!

[@jacobhn2]

Thanks so much to you and your team, I've learned a lot, 10 years ago, I bought an Akai miniyak, and I played it sometimes but became very sad to hear the simple sounds and it's hard to program, but There is software for it so it's a bit easier, it has three oscilators and eight polyphony and a lot of filters, vorcoder and more. Now I gradually know how a synth works and how to get more sound.

[@cubaser]

Thanks Tom - That brought me right back!

[@ErikHawk]

Love it! Thanks for sharing your drum machines with us Tom. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Prince's favorite drum Machine was the LinnDrum, not the Oberhiem DX?

[@ErikHawk]

Actually, Prince started with the LM-1, www.thecurrent.org/feature/2017/03/01/roger-linn-inventor-of-the-lm1-drum-machine-talks-prince-and-when-doves-cry

[@ErikHawk]

A lot of fantastic artists used the Oberheim DX and DMX, such as Depeche Mode, New Order, The System. But the LinnDrum sound was an integral part of Prince's sound.

[@junkiexlmusic]

That is correct! I was showing a trick he used a lot on a machine that would come close to the linn!

[@richnewman]

Man, I love old drum machines. My all time fave is the RX5. Much like the RX7, it's just so deeeeeep and sounds great for industrial stuff.

[@joker9494949494]

Dude that chorused bass on the Yamaha is straight out of Manhunter by Front 242!!

[@sillyfello]

really an in depth review session.. i dig it..

[@thedutchgoonie2989]

erg toffe video! leuk om de RX7 voorbij te zien komen, niet veel mensen gebruiken dit ding. ik heb de RX7 al 25 jaar dus 'm dromen dus ik graag wat komen uitleggen ;) de RX7 is 12 bits en de edit functies zijn te gek; zo kun bijvoorbeeld akkoorden maken met de synthgeluiden!

[@user-ed5ix1sw6i]

I would love to see a video on your eurorack!

[@JAFOpty]

I LOOOOVE your videos! the only issue is that the camera is always so far away from the devices, I have to google an image and try to compare it, so I can see the detail of the controls.

[@roneivilasboas]

This video is like a Time Machine. Fckng awesome !

[@allenscheer5014]

You are making me pine away for my long lost Oberheim DX and Roland TR707. They live on in Arturia Spark, of course, but there is something special about having the box right in front of you. Did you ever have any of the alternate EPROM sets for the DX? I used to have a Simmons set that sounded tremendous.

[@rico77yt]

Ouch, did you manage to bring the 727 back to life afterwards?

[@Barney-ii1no]

lol probably not

[@Hairyloft]

Great vid and tutorial, really needed this one, thanks again!

[@TheDukeofCuffs]

too funny...soon as I noticed the switches on the 727, I was all excited that you would talk about circuit bending! Amazing, unique sound possibilities...then fzzzzzz... ha! Very true that you take your chances but 99 times out of 100 it is very fixable....Lets just tuck that secret back in our pocket, shall we? ;) Thanks so much for the videos - I'm always learning a little something new!

[@phillong5808]

This is a nice demo off all the classic drum machines, but the new but the new boutique909 better then the old one ?

[@Zeal808]

Awesome! Thank you for the knowledge

[@teet3293]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@MJamesIII]

I'd love to see a video of the Roland R8MKii

[@RDJ134]

Helemaal top, en het leuke is de heerlijke nuchterheid met mis gaan en dan gewoon in de video laten. Ik ben overigens wel benieuwd of de 727 FUBAr was of nog te repareren.

[@junkiexlmusic]

we gaan het zien!

[@RDJ134]

:)

[@SiggeMusic]

I dig how you are posting this content in seasons! 😊

[@bradley3030]

The best circuit bent drum machine I ever owned was an Alesis HR-16. Unfortunately it too died and I haven't had the fun money laying around to buy and mod another one.

[@cjleongson]

hey what about doin a video of your fav drum plugins!

[@daveus111]

Can u show us some basics with stock Drum Machines or cheap plugins and how you would make them sound better...that would be awesome!

[@joeybaronstudio]

So how are u getting all those inputs ....? My 72 ins are just for external processing like compression units and verbs and a few synths racks ....

[@bonzaihb3432]

33:32 do I hear Front 242 there? :)

[@Mrjononotbono]

Great video! I was wondering if you could do more on Drum Programming within a DAW?

[@Sinedrifter]

"This thing can go in the bin." Classic 🤣🤣🤣 i love junkie xl

[@MajestoMusic]

Good god...the kick on the DX ❤️

[@Emontop1]

Massive thanks for this video. 🎹🎛👍👍😊

[@ArthurStone]

Cheers Tom; interesting...the EMU brought back memories :D

[@strikeee01]

Could anyone tell me what monitors can be seen on the wall at 29:24?

[@aramkefayati5599]

Those are M-audio BX8 amazon link: www.amazon.com/dp/B000A68UTW/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

[@issiewizzie]

DX was used a lot by Jimmy Jam and Terry lewis (Alexander O neal )

[@valmontnaudin5642]

You should have done at the end a song with all the drums in midi/gate :D

[@TheUnfinishedSynth]

Haha, that 909 rhythm is SUCH a Dutch techno rhythm! ;)

[@JVGmidi]

The individual outputs are nice if you have a big mixer.

[@kevinmendes__]

Disclaimer : No Drum Computers were harmed in the making of this video... . . . . . . oh wait.

[@joeybaronstudio]

Also do you have a fairlight cmi? I think that's what it was called,the one quincy jones used on thriller

[@junkiexlmusic]

No I don't. Too much hassle if you ask me..

[@whiterottenrabbit]

Your videos are awesome, please make more of these! I am especially interested in syncing via MIDI clock. Have you encountered any issues with components drifting out of sync when you are synchronizing drum machines with your modular wall?

[@reason2910]

yes do the eprom and more drums

[@patrickmccarthy8838]

Still rockin the RX5. That one has individual outs, so i'd suggest that one if you want to jam and mangle in real time. super cheap still.

[@chrisreece8128]

I don't think that's an 808 in Phil's In The Air Tonight. I think it was an older Roland drummachine, like whether the 606 or the CR78.

[@discophone_6214]

This was another awesome video from you man! 💚 thank you so much 🙏
