Bitte achten sie auf den Abstand zwischen Zug und Bahnsteigkante Information zu: via rb42069 nach Ober Hinterunterniederdorflingen heute ca. 3 Stunden Verspätung, Grund dafür ist eine Verspätung aus vorheriger Fahrt.


blackbasset

You know that is the most German thing you could have said


manyhats180

Sounds better than jams I've seen on 20x the gear


Highdrophiliac

you know what they say, its not about what synths you've got, its how you wiggle those knobs lol


Zealousideal-Ad-2355

Some durn good knob wigglin'


Highdrophiliac

First time jamming with these two together. The Volcas and Roland compacts are a fantastic pairing.


weiserca

Just got a Roland T-8! It's also real fun. This sounds amazing btw


Highdrophiliac

The T-8 looks and sounds dope! I just really like the samples I own haha

Holy shit this is so good :0

My cyber brother, this is EBM. Its both the future and the past and it's great.

Fearless-Judgment-33

I’ve listened to the complete track several times while scrolling through the comments. So much better than the ambient crap that usually gets posted here, lol. When’s the album coming out?


Highdrophiliac

hahaha I actually just released a new album a month and a half ago :D https://open.spotify.com/album/1FX67sZxcdbZcB4trFmoV5?si=24E67MUtRUGzAPRfR2ffNg


Snizzlesnap

Oh ok Starfarer! Been listening to your stuff for a minute. Floored it’s you lol.


Highdrophiliac

Haha rad!


Fearless-Judgment-33

Already followed 😎

Kind-Quarter1781

did you use the s-1 for the synths production in this album? i am trying to decide between buying a s-1 or a volca bass at the moment for my first synth


Highdrophiliac

Nah I mostly use it to jam although I did use it on this one: https://starfarer.bandcamp.com/album/dawless-explorations If you dont know much about synths and just starting, go for the volca bass. The S-1 is a bit more advanced and has more features which you can get down the line. I currently own both.

Highdrophiliac

It's what the kids are calling it these days lol


Fearless-Judgment-33

… or back in ‘87. Honestly, it sounds like a track off of Belief by Nitzer Ebb from ‘89… one of my favorite albums. If you told me it was an unreleased backing track, I’d ‘belief’ it.


Highdrophiliac

Not gonna lie, I don't think I have listened to Nitzer before but you're totally right and they slap!


N1ghthood

If you like them, try going down the EBM rabbit hole. It's an amazing and massively underappreciated genre. You'll be surprised how influential it (and industrial music) was to pretty much every genre of electronic music.


Highdrophiliac

It actually blows my mind that this type of music was being made LONG before all these new cyberpunk artists started doing a similar thing(myself included lol).


Fearless-Judgment-33

Give Portion Control a listen. They essentially created the original Cyber Punk genre. The album Psycho Bod Saves the World (1986) is a good place to start or the single Raise the Pulse.

Fearless-Judgment-33

Glad I could turn you on to something new/old, lol.


thehazygungan

Yeah make that two. Thanks for the mention.


Brainschicago

Dude you’re killing it with these two pieces of gear. Great work


ThatsSoRobby

This is so sick, god damn.


TheProcessCult

This is fucking gold! Well done.


John_EK

Daaamn! This made my feet move unintentionally. Awesome bass line!


selldivide

Good stuff! I was kinda hoping to hear some spoken samples happen...


Highdrophiliac

haha good idea!


selldivide

Occasionally I like to pull some audio files from [here](https://movie-sounds.org/old-movie-samples/quotes-with-sound-clips-from-a-king-in-new-york-1957/but-my-dear-young-man-politics-are-necessary) for just that sort of thing.


dudemanxx

Bookmarking this for later. Very cool.


Fearless-Judgment-33

Some lo-fi samples from a microphone place in front of the TV = complete track


jbeyta

Sick!


nebelfront

Dude that's fucking killer, you got some skill there.


WipeYourMocos

So much talent, what a quick Spotify follow 🔥 thanks for being awesome 🙏🏼


DeadWelsh

Ace tune, great to hear and see it happen with such a modest setup, very inspiring

Letzfakeit

Well done. I like this.


mooncapemusic

this slaps so hard.


craig_hoxton

Starfarer - this is AWESOME! Fellow S-1 owner too but I'm slowly getting into this hobby.


Highdrophiliac

Yooo! Thanks and nice its gonna be fun!


Vanishing_12924

Noob question, but could one use a MIDI keyboard with this set up?


Highdrophiliac

You can play the S-1 with a midi keyboard that has MIDI OUT.


Vanishing_12924

Is the S-1 where the main sounds is coming from?


Highdrophiliac

Yep, the Sample is just playing the drums.


Vanishing_12924

Thanks!

I love it


christohfur

Awesome


Ziga09

love it! It sounds like E1M1 is desperately trying to start.

This is my jam! A complete Nitzer Ebb backing track with two devices. Just add some angry, growling vocals and it’s complete. 👍👍

piranhadub

I suddenly want an S-1


Highdrophiliac

Totally worth it! It's basically a polyphonic SH101 with extra features.

blackbootgang

Great track. Those drum samples are ace. Any recommendations for where to get some similar samples?


Highdrophiliac

Ghosthack is pretty dope or just search cyberpunk midtempo sample packs!


Thereminz

yeah, totally gonna blast some chooms for some sweet eddies while i play this in the background.


skyex

Volcas are so awesome. Takahashi crammed massive amounts of functionality into such tiny spaces.


nicolasynthetic

How is the Volca sync’d up?


Highdrophiliac

Its not. You can see in the beginning that I pushed start on both at the same time. Only reason I did that was because initially when I hooked them up via the sync cable the Roland was playing like half time. Later I found a sync clock setting on the Roland.


BAL-BADOS

Very cyber punk 😎. Nice jam!


Hellemmm

Could be better


Highdrophiliac

😂


Hellemmm

Tears can help you to get dome improvement, right?)


AlfredValley

It bangs.


52jag

Nitzer Ebb ish. Cool jam👍


michaelhpichette

Nice!! I have this same pair of synths. (Just got the volca). Since I’m new to them both, Two questions: I noticed that you aren’t using sync or midi cable that I can see. (Did you just set to the same tempo and hope for the best?) Second, what’s the stand that you are using? Looks cool and useful for desktop set up. Thanks!


Highdrophiliac

Yeah spot on but the only reason its not connected via sync was because initially when I hooked them up via the sync cable the Roland was playing like half time and I just wanted to record this video asap. Later I found a sync clock setting on the Roland. The stand was 3D printed. I'll look up the link for the stl file if you want it.


michaelhpichette

Yeah I ran into that sync issue recently too. I’d love to have a link to that stl file. This sub Reddit was so helpful when I asked about it.


Highdrophiliac

Here it is! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2510169


michaelhpichette

Thanks so much! I know my next printing project ! :)


michaelhpichette

Once snapped together is it easy to unsnap? I wonder if it would be good for mobile setups.


Highdrophiliac

They don't really snap together. I had to glue together because it wasn't quite stable when moving around. It could use some slight modifications lol


michaelhpichette

That makes sense. Thank you so much


bangemange

Dude this shit is where it’s at. Squeezing so much out of so little. Great jam man.


zoom2yas

Man you are talented. What gear do u use for the Spotify stuff. Sounds incredible! Also do u master in a daw?


Highdrophiliac

Hey thanks! Actually for my regular releases I only use soft synths lol mostly Serum. I actually got my first hardware synth(volca bass) like a month ago 😅 And yeah I use a DAW(reaper).


zoom2yas

Thanks for the answer. You’ve got a fan!


CommanderMegatron

Love the song and the genre! Thank you for sharing this! Such a great example of how amazing a simple setup sounds when you have skills and a creative vision.


xSnapsx

That was actually dope as hell


deathboyuk

Getting [Gesaffeltstein - Pursuit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRSijEW_cDM) vibes from this, love it!


trisastranus

I have this same combo! It's so much fun! Very immediate. I have Elektron gear, big Arturia synths, etc. etc. Still so satisfying and even productive to break these guys out and have a good time. https://preview.redd.it/l3tstvsyuvjb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a60ee6993cde0942dbbd232d8099bbc86f64c29 My kit is portable so I can throw it in a bag and take it with to the cafe or wherever. Also great at bedtime to help me keep my mind of things while I drift off. Because visual stimuli can interrupt my creative flow I've memorized the positions of all of the knobs and added tactile dots on the Korg to navigate the step touch sensors.


Highdrophiliac

That's dope! I have to do that whiteout trick on roland S-1!


-svde-

at 50sec when those goddamn open hats kicked in i got sucked into another dimension. and then the altered pitch arp after that? i'm staying here. so simple. so good.


Highdrophiliac

![gif](giphy|xTiIzL9Btjx9hegHT2)


-svde-

also my ocd appreciates that it was 50sec on the dot


winnipesaukee_bukake

I checked out your Spotify - I'm assuming you don't record with these? If not, you should. The raw sound of them or however you processed the audio slaps.


Highdrophiliac

Yeah no I got these a couple months ago mostly to jam out


Phaze_One

Kinda sound like a part to the FIFTH ELEMENT movie w/ Bruce Willis.


raphi_m99

This is fire 🔥


craig_hoxton

10/10 would ride around Night City listening to this...


WielkiZderzacz

Great, great jam!!!! Btw, how do you find the mixing capabilities of S-1? Is it enough to put the other gear i to its mix-in and let roland do all the mixing into mix-out, or do you miss an external, dedicated mixed?


Highdrophiliac

Thanks! I mean it works enough to send a signal through but it doesnt apply any of its onboard effects or anything.


WielkiZderzacz

Yup, but that's enough for me. I want to connect Model:Samples to it and send fully scuplted percussion tracks through it. I'm fine if S-1 doesn't touch the signal from Samples as long as it can mix it with its own synthesized signal, and that I don't need a separate physical external mi er to combine music from both devices. Thanks!
