Roland Super JX 10 experimentation with patches to play lead of Europe's final countdown (and might add other songs / sound designs to this playlist)

First is the Roland JX8P factory patch #28 (Stab Brass), loaded onto the Roland Super JX10, through HD reverb on a Zoom 70CDR pedal, recorded on a Tascam digital recorder. Sounds a lot like the Final Countdown sound.

Next is Roland JX10 factory patch C6 (Stab Brass 8VA). This doesn't really sound like the previous, even taking into consideration an octave shift (8VA).

But, there is a Stab Brass TONE on the JX10. I combined this preset tone 72 with a custom tone set at tone 6 and this is really really close to the original JX8P stab brass plus Yamaha TX816 as used by Europe.

Finally, recorded the same patch dry. The reverb is half the sound.

These are a few tracks from my 'Lagrange Point 6' project that are 'extra' or not being released in the usual manner for whatever reason.

JaMuary 24- the aim to create a piece of music (no matter how short or incomplete it is) for as many days as I can during the month.

Most Jamuarys are incomplete or just the start of an idea so I upload them as public here but they are private on my proper Soundcloud page @trevb111 unless completed.... and Ive put them in a playlist you can find here on.soundcloud.com/QUFqo :)

Seven ocarinas playing a single note each to make a wash, then carved out some texture using a looper patch in VCV Rack with a band-pass filter driven by an LFO.  Three separate instances played together.

Day 26 - Clockwork
- have a metronome or a clock be part of the song

This one turned dark pretty fast. Initially, I wanted to make a dreamy soundscape to get lost in but instead it became this monstrous thing with a terrible ending.
Time is a pretty brutal concept.  xD

Lyrics (in no particular order):


    Killing time
    Robbing time
    Suspend time
    Wasting time
    Losing time
    Gaining time
    Spending time
    Stop time

Snow Desert part II

Canadian Polyglot and polymath living in North Carolina, Francois is Head of Dion Research by day, & artist, maker of instruments & effects, musician, photographer & sound engineer by night.

His interest in music started at a very young age when he studied classical piano and electronics, both of these things would be quite influential on his future work.

He started composing electronic music as a kid in the early 80s and experimenting with sampling on an Apple //e, and would later use the Amiga, Apple IIgs and on the PC, the Gravis Ultrasound wavetable soundcard, and would publish soundbanks for it. Today, most of his music is done without computers, on modular synths and effects built by him, along with some commercial synths and effects.

From 1988 to 1997, he hosted a show on electronic music from its beginning in the early 20th century all the way to modern electronica, and the history of it and the technology that enabled it. He also did a stint at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Videoway / Videotron in Montreal.

In parallel with that, he would continue releasing music through various media, including digital media before MP3 files (through MP2 and ADPCM WAV files on Hyperreal, IUMA etc). In those 30 years to now, he has produced an average of ~1 album (EP or full) a year
