@axwax @xylander The #sixtrak used to be my main synth when I started (along with a Synth Plus 60 aka HS-60 aka Juno-106S) and so I really had to be able to get pretty much any sound out of it. I also didn't that many effects, so I used tape for some treatments. If you listen to "Human Teknology", that's all #sixtrak and #drumtraks. Uh. looks like it is not on soundcloud. I'll have to dig that tape up.

The risers used in this #music #track are #tr909 cymbals, reversed. The only samples i used for this track, but technically that is not 100% correct:
First, the cymbals on the 909 are samples. Roland couldnt get realistic cymbal sounds out of analog circuits (808 cymbals, anyone? As an aside, check out https://pureadmin.qub.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/125044847/tr_808_cymbal_a_physically_informed_circuit_bendable_digital.pdf) so they used samples. The #drumulator & #sequentialcircuits #drumtraks also use eprom based samples, & i use a few custom eproms in them (with ZIF sockets). #jam #jamuary

So I copied the windows vst folder to my linux wine vst3 folder, added the path to yabridge, ran sync and Carla sees the Full Bucket Music Drumtraqs plugin. It complains about it but it works. Other plugins I tried didn't work so far.

A native plugin would be best, but at least it works. I can use the real drumtraks, the windows or Mac plugin, or the windows plugin in linux. I think I got all base covered!

It was just a matter of time that a free vst would replicate the experience.

Full Bucket Music drumtraqs runs the z80 code and sticks close to the original functionality. Interface is pretty much a clone, but with a few extra buttons in the middle, to cover extra menu options. No options for alternate prom sets, afaik.

The sound samples were stored on EPROMs. To make the swap easier for kick and snare, i had installed ZIF sockets. With the lid on hinges, that made things real easy.

40 years ago… The Sequential Circuits Drumtraks offered a MIDI drum machine that could have up to 99 songs and 99 patterns, had individual outputs and had accent and tuning. Well built, 40 years later, mine still works fine.

@rekkerd he also has a Six-Trak plugin. Also free. On the downside, still no #linux version of any of his plugins. #sequentialcircuits #sci #Sixtrak #drumtraks

@openmastering This track was released after 1 year of pain and multiples surgeries. The end of a cycle and the start of a new life.

I was trying to make people understand the hardships I've been through. An outlet !

#Linux with #Ardour, #Guitarix (#pacifica), some hardware synths (#d50, #microbrute and a #wavestation) and some samples (#drumtraks, #espeak for the vocal synthesis and samples from #freesound.org). I like the eighties sound 😜
