Small budget, big sound jam with Roland T-8, S-1, Crum Drum

A live, semi-improvised jam performed entirely on hardware.
Text, phantasmagoric visuals, masking, art, and more created by Vincent Venoir. Please check out his music project here!: hyperfollow.co...
I've been travelling quite a bit over the last few weeks and decided to get the "Rolcas" to keep me company while travelling. I have been super impressed with the T-8, J-6, and S-1, and been having a blast while sitting in hotel rooms or ferry line-ups. The T-8 in particular leads to instant fun, and the S-1 is a surprisingly deep synthesizer with fantastic sound.
Here, I made a pattern from scratch on the T-8, quickly transposed something I had noodled on the S-1, and then performed it on the spot. I also added in the Crum Drum, another cheap drum machine, for some fun percussive performance. It made a great combo with the Rolcas (although its synch occasionally lost a 16th note). The three together made a fantastic, fun, and fast jam.
It was the fun of these devices, and this jam, that made me think to reach out to Vincent and see if he wanted to make some of his magic on the video. He really captured the spirit of the jam, and I was delighted by the end results!
Roland T-8 - Drums and bass
Roland S-1 (+ XLN RC-20 plug-in for a bit of dirt/warble) - Chords
Nyström Crum Drum - Percussion
Written a few minutes before recording. Performed and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.
Thanks for listening.

the best jam on youtube!

[@s3nd3r5]

this was wilder than I could've expected and a collab that lived up to everything I'dve expected :D

[@notsoquiet6598]

Can't ....stop.....MOVING.

[@AlbertNystrom]

I love this! I'm really happy to see what you've done with the Crum Drum! 🤩 The editing is also very cool!

[@Kumie]

Well, I had a big dumb grin on my face this entire video. Great job, Jay and Vincent!

[@_s.d.s._]

Yeah. This. ❤

[@Ninzumecha]

Wow! I love this!

[@RobbekenSynthMusic]

Nice one! Just got a Crum Drum this week and I’m loving it!

[@EZBOT_]

[@AgonalRhythm]

Loving this and the effort put into the editing and aesthetics 🔥

[@OhHeyK3vin]

It is wild that you got that sound out of that modest setup. Rad.

[@TheBeatlesfan013]

THAT WAS SO DOPE!! I love all your videos, but the effects in this one brought it to another level for me

[@Jin-Hu]

Damn son, loved the aesthetic, great work, track really rocked my run too

[@ciaranmulhall6123]

Quality !! 😎

[@robbbreckenridge1115]

The S-1 sounds so nice and woozy in the final minutes

[@valentinegonsalves7322]

Love it. This could be a great soundtrack for an action scene in a movie. That Crum Drum's sequencer can make snares and other percussion sound like all kinds of gunshots. p.s. Those two Rolands remind me of the little Volcas, but they sound much cleaner and bigger. Awesome pads and bassline.

[@aleho1]

This kind of acid is right up my alley, I could jam it out all day with you on this level. We could layer about 10 different clones of the 303 between us and create a round robin of 4 poles! ❤

[@GC-zj2ou]

Well done man💯

[@vicsmusicalgarden]

Fun. Now I’m wanting an S-1. Really cool visuals.

[@stevebrown5597]

Epic!
