Psiplex’s W00t Factor - Fun Stuff Joy emanating from experiencing this dream of Life

Music has always been a big part of the creative spark - this is some gear used along the way.

Roland TB-303 Bass Line

Roland TR_606 Drum Machine (Drumatix)

This fun little box rocked many a recording! The 606 was the percussion side-kick to the TB-303. It even looks like the 303. It stores up to 32 patterns and 8 songs. The 606 allows switching between Pattern Play and Write mode while running - making the 606 the only drumcomputer in the X0X series that can be edited while performing and switching patterns.

Roland SH101 Synth

Strap on Mono synth with super thick bass. Had no patch memory, but infinitely tweakable and great for arpeggiated bass lines. Screamed when put through distortion !

Roland TR909 Drum Machine

Used a bit early on the music path for experimental jams and sessions. Synched primarily to early MIDI Synths like the Korg Poly 800, SH-101, Sequential Circuits Pro One (the ‘shmoe’) and the Juno 106.

Roland TR-808

Lots of studio sessions with the 808! Legendary Roland drum machine that is the Daddy Mac- can’t say enough about how this changed the biz.

Roland MC303 Groovebox

This fun unit was introduced in the mid 1990’s and became the core of the sound used at that time along with the Roland W-30 Workstation. Absolutely nasty and noisy, but can crush at will.

Roland MC909 Groovebox

Released in 2003, this Roland Groovebox still powers a lot of Psiplex tracks. Good box for sketching ideas. Can link with DAWs or be used as a standalone unit.

Roland Fantom X6 Workstation

Great collection of Roland sounds that can be easily synthesized and customized. 16-track recording, sampling and 128 voice polyphony- nice touch for an unweighted synth action keyboard.
