    This week I dug out a bunch of Bontempi Minstrel Alpha floppies for my old Emu Esi32 sampler. In the mid-90s I borrowed my friend's Bontempi keyboard and sampled a bunch of the sounds and percussion. Last week I bought a Gotek USB floppy emulator for the Esi32 so I'll need to convert the files. I was actually amazed that the floppies still worked tbh. I found if you sample some of these old Home Keyboards and use the ASDR and built-in effects, portamento, modulation, velocity and filters etc it can sound really brilliant!

    This plugins sounds horrible without the Roland XV engine! Poor soundquality and effects!! Roland XV5080 is one of the best modules ever, with excellent 3*EFX and more, the soundquality is much more better than this bad software emulation sounds. For surroundproducions, you can make very easy with the XV a special routing from the EFXs to the 8 channel analog outputs or ADAT!! With this way you can make awesome and dynamical triggered realtime surroundpatches that sounds awesome!!! This is a extra "secret" feature from the old XV5080, and brings the known Roland Sounds to a amazing surround experience! If you want to use SRX and JV Boards in best soundquality, then only with XV5080 and JV2080 or Fantom XR.

      Actually, we just tried mine again after not using it for quite some time, and the lower keys didn't sound initially. Turned out the motion effects and vibrato effects rocker switches were the culprit in my case. A little wobble and sound returned. Needs some Deoxit, perhaps.

    Nice video and great end song! I have the TX as well because it's very close to the EOS B200 I owned as my very first synth (the TX is only missing some effects). As it was my only sound source and I recorded straight to stereo tape, the multi-mode got used extensively, trying to make the most of the eight-voice polyphony (1 bass drum, 1 snare, 1 synth bass, 3 for chord pads, 1 for leads, 1 for additional synth part). Still have some of the recordings :)

    Actually, I think "grooving it" might be an old verb, that's fallen out of popular usage. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sang "Momma's got a brand new bag. She's gonna groove it the whole night long". So, during that session, or possibly performance, I guess she could have been said to have been "grooving it" (the whole night long). Does anyone know how to contact Susie Dent? I feel sure she'd know...

      Absolutely! The iPad is a second-gen iPad Pro, so it's just done through a Lightning-to-USB adapter, or what's referred to on the Apple Store as a "Camera Adapter". The current iPad Pro models use USB-C, so you would need a USB-C to USB adapter. Most MIDI controllers and USB-to-MIDI adapters work just fine out of the box (I'm using a USB-to-MIDI adapter to connect to the TX).
