Here’s my first successful attempt at getting the Juno-60 to sync with the Roland TR-707 sequencer. Kick and snare drum sounds provided by a junky old Tama analog drum machine that appeared out of nowhere many years ago.
I was looking at the site logs for Backporch Revolution and noticed that a lot more hits were coming in from YouTube. It seems that people have recently been taking an interest in my good friend Bryan Killingsworth’s “Sound Patterns” series. This got me looking at them again, and remembering how cool this experiment was.
Using a laser pointer, plastic wrap, and a metal bowl for the visuals, Bryan cranked up his modular analog synthesizer and made some trippy visual patterns that co-relate nicely to the sine waves he’s tuning.
