Live pass with 70s & 80s analog synths (2018x9)

Air date: Mar 26, 2018

I thought it would be interesting to try a totally live pass with my synths to see if I could do it. I usually multi-track things separately. How does it work? The TR-707 is the master and in addition to playing the kick drum, its trigger out is triggering the sequencer of the SH-101, which plays the bass line. The TR-606 is slaved to the TR-707 via Din Sync. It provides hats, snare, cymbals and toms. Its high tom trigger-out is triggering the step-sequencer on the JX-3P. Its low tom is triggering the arpeggio clock on the Juno-6. The MS-20 is free and not sync'd to anything so I can play melodies on the fly.
