Hi. Yes, I love the 100m as well. I remember first seeing a photo of one in my MC-202 manual, and wondering what on earth it was, and then a few years later stumbled on one as you do! And I totallu agree about the system 100 mixer. Back in the nineties I discovered the same thing, I ran a few complete songs through it from the PC and it really gave it a bit of air and crackle, if that makes sense. What was the rare module you mentioned?
@@anonymex22 my worst keyboard, actionwise, is the Roland Rs-70. The Behringer stuff is very good in comparison. so... I'd rather break the Roland, I prefer to play it via Midi with my Kawai Spectra anyways. Or a Behringer.
@@couchcamperTM well RS-70, you can break it that's worth nothing digital rompler at it worst time. By the way as i'm interested in building an analog behringer clone eurorack, TR clones, perhaps you can tell me more about if it is solid, does it works more than the warranty, specially the knob... Analog expander/tr/tb clone first failure are noise from bad knob, and those are cms boards...
Most studio tour videos have a cliché comment: "but I want to hear them being used, not talked about!" I made sure to kill that by being as annoying as possible in the first minute. "Er, yeah, maybe just talk".
The gear, the original music, the skills at playing many different instruments, and very important : the humor ! What's not to ove about this video. Thank you Alex !
Oh for heavens sake, I have Studio Tour going around in my head.... Will no doubt wake up in the middle of the night with it still going...thanks a lot. 😅
I really appreciate the amount of info that's packed into this video as you've solved a bunch of problems I currently have regarding routing etc. Thanks Alex!
Thanks for this: one thing about huge collections like this combined with examples is it really fixes my own GAS because I find I really enjoy my own taste and choices in gear relative to yours, definitely each to their own.
There are rare times where I start watching something so interesting that I immediately say, "Now is not the time. Later. Maybe after a bath and in jammies and with a good snack". This is one such video. I only wish I still had a console TV. Just for this.
Aww, seeing the guitar section you mention feeder... They were great lads, I remember them from the studio. It was a painful shock to everyone when we heard about Jon Lee.
This was such a treat, Alex! Thank you!!!I have to admit I watch too many of these type of videos and two things clearly stood out here: 1) Your musicality is off the charts. Big ups! 2) You know your equipment inside and out, and you clearly use it. I'm sure any piece staying over there will be happy, even while suffering an occasional outro dance karate kick. Keep up the amazing work and have a great day!
Really good video, very nicely put together. Love the musical interludes and great to see range of kit at all price levels. A studio that has clearly grown with you and designed to be used - yey!
I'm so glad you got that synthesizer fixed. I was so worried that I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I stopped looking after myself, I gave up my highly paid and intellectually satisfying job and I let my relationships with friends and family falter. I became morose and introverted and lost all interest in the world around me and the people in it. Nothing seemed to matter any more and I forgot who I used to be and lost sight of everything that I ever could be. Disclaimer ..... most of that stuff may not actually have happened. Good thing you managed to find another key though! Hurrah!
As a longtime fan of you, your synth expertise, and your music, this is one of my favorite videos you've ever made. Thank you so much for keeping analog synth love alive in such a cool, funny, fun, and smart way
you're a lucky chap Alex! Thank you for sharing in a non "look what i've got" way. Which i tend to find most youtubers do, boasting about what they have and therefore how wealthy they are. It's pretty dry to watch usually, but your genuine love and affection (in a non weird way.....?) is always great to watch and follow. I've got some old roland (sh-09 and juno 60) and some other bits, a largeish eurorack and some 90s and 2000's VA's but i still long for a KORG and a Yamaha of some sort for something different.... Here's hoping one day!
You have such a wonderful collection of gear and instruments. I like how it's all got a purpose and is being used too. This is what a real working studio looks like 😃
Damn Alex, I've always appreciated your technical abilities as well as musicianship, but I have to say that this video really shows off your broad musical abilities. Well done. But don't give up the funny stuff. I love that stuff too.
Thank you for this great tour, got me a lot of input. Especially on those whole pedal things I feel you so much as I am going through all this now too. Thought getting some pedals would be nice, thought plug and play will be easy .. naive me ... all the DI boxes, re-amps, cables, patch bays cost already more than the pedals themselves .. and then the time .. but I hope at the end the twiggeling and feel will pay out :)
Incredible! Interesting! Useful! I love it. So organized. Great bunch of gear and you are quite capable using it all. I wish I had room to be so organized. My gear is all over the place and split between synth gear, sampler gear, guitar and amps and wayyy to much of everything because I can’t stand selling gear. I love the demos of all your setups.
I had a feeling if we ever had a studio tour from you, we'd also get to experience the breadth of your musical talent. The demo of the acoustic guitar gave me chills. Hats off Alex, please keep doing what you're doing. :)
I hit like as soon as the intro song finished! Great informative and entertaining video, fantastic demo songs as usual too. I was mightily impressed with the strings/piano demo!
Where’s the damn LOVE (❤) button, UA-cam? This is deserving! Thanks for this, Alex. Love your collection of fine instruments. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of them all.
Oh, the classic whale explosion! They still play it every once in a while late at night on KOIN in Portland, they being the ones who filmed it. What a great ending to a fantastic theme song!
Hey Alex that was a brilliant video. The fact that you took the time to demonstrate every item was quite a feat. You are very generous! I like the names for the locations, too. Your strined instrument chops are not so shabby either - that segment sounded very impressive.
Yesss! The two 103 mixers are the deliciousness. I've put so many things through my singular (boo hoo etc).mixer, but have also recorded output from the 109 speakers for added dirt, grit & girth (try saying that after a gallon of guiness) . There's some odd patching quirks i discovered on a full system when i made the videos (i.e., some odd normalisation choices), which add to the charm of the instrument. Great jam at the end of the section 🌅 I allso enjoyed the NIN & prophet 10 combo. Muchos deliciousness again. But what really got me was the guitar section. I have an acoustic, but never really got into guitars, so to hear the Spanish style acoustic and the others being played so well, was a real treat. Nice one, Alex! 😁
seeing light behind the gear... this is not a basement??? I always considered you the biggest (or greatest) gear-studio-nerd! Now I'm learning you're doing that stuff for a living and THERE IS LIGHT!!! awesome intro song btw
What a great video - I especially like your Kor(g)ner……..fantastic to see the Trident featured - looking forward to a deeper dive into that one. I loved the mk1 I used to own - with some outboard effects added it could make some great noises.
Simply awesome! Thanks for this great overview and your “odd” rhythms and textures. It’s nice to see how you connect them all together and utilize with your obvious and unassuming talent. Go get em, Alex!🤓👍
This was really inspirational and lovely watching and listening to. I got taken back in time from that Korg Trident when I played it and got very emotional from that Spanish guitar playing and sound from it. The Korg does have some real character to the sound and the Roland are so creamy liquid sounding. Lovely. I thank you very much for all the work you put in for your viewers enjoyment!
That was a lovely watch. Thoughtfully produced, musical examples, cuts when needed to avoid faffing about. An elevated studio tour indeed; not surprising from you Alex, but still lovely :)
Is it weird, that even though this is gear heaven, and a great glimpse into how Alex creates....that my favourite thing from the entire video was the explosion after the "studio tour" intro!! So unnecessarily necessary! Reminded me of "The Simpsons" episodes of old ❤❤❤
For all you folks looking for rack drawers like Alex is using for his pedals, don't look in music shops. You can visit PC shops selling server racks and get your cabinets and parts there. Same measurement standards, a fraction of the price.
Yes! Basically there was a listing in Japan of a homemade wooden box with really tatty 100m modules in it. They all had missing knobs and they were brown from cigarette smoke. They wouldn't be worth looking at....apart from that one was one of the five fabled prototype modules! Three of five have been found and the others originated in Japan and belonged to people who used to worked for Roland or who were related to someone who used to work for Roland. This appears to be the same situation, but I didn't stop to ask questions as they might have taken the listing down or asked for a huge price. They clearly had no idea what they had. After someone spotted it and phoned me, we found a contact to grab it in Japan and took it from there. I still look at it and wonder how on earth that happened, but it did. It also gave me hope that the two missing modules may one day emerge.
All the songs are good in this video like always but the one with the Danelectro is so groovy that I can't stop listening to it and of course the Juno 6 is definitely sooo 80'S, It reminded me when I started using synths back in those days (I'm in my 50'S now). Thanks for showing your musical domain and your enormous talent. Cheers! PS: Sorry for the Juno accident!
Thanks for your really insightful tour, a lot of helpful details which can only mean that I really must sort out my studio. The details about patch baying the effects pedals and midi routing was particularly useful. Thank you and I wish you continued success☢️👍
Thanks! Glad it was helpful, I was hoping it would be. The pedal thing is one of the best things I've bothered to do in the studio, so I highly recommend it.
@@AlexBallMusic it will be my project for the next week or so as the pedals I have are all over the place in the studio the patch bay is a much maligned and misunderstood piece of kit but a massive time saver and resource for experimentation thanks for the inspiration ☢️👍
As you didn't show us the door to your studio, I can only assume that you live here and you never leave. It would also explain your time and attention spent on each video. Also sticking with the same software is relatable! I play flute about as well as you play violin and use it for a recording every 10 years or so. Lastly your double bass playing was great!
Best intro song ever, ever, ever made!!! Thanks for the static studio tour, you've got some amazing gear, and most importantly, have the talent and knowhow on how to use it. Sounding wise, my favorite was the Roland 100 system.... Ohhhh what a sweet sweet sound. PD : All the routing of the gear from and to different mixers and all, that in itself... is a headache, thanks for explaining that too! Although it's still a headache :D
Hi Alex, what an amazing masterpiece of a video. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us synth nerds, and in such detail. The Juno accident at the end was both so sad and so funny. Sorry! Please do post a follow up repair video, I'm sure everyone would love to see your Juno nursed back to health.
Magnifique ! A trip in heaven ; I was here for synths, and I just have to say : Dude ! the spanish guitar ... I miss some Jim Henson creatures arround you in this studio planet . A big hug and thanks
Juno key already fixed. Watch the happy ending.

Yes, replacing broken keys is one of the easier things in life, at least with some old Rolands.
Don't kick your gear, love them because WOW, that's not behringer clone!!!
Hi. Yes, I love the 100m as well. I remember first seeing a photo of one in my MC-202 manual, and wondering what on earth it was, and then a few years later stumbled on one as you do!

Could you please explain once again why the studio is not actually going on tour? I mean, it's in the title...
I didn’t quite get this either. I feel duped somehow.
I might put wheels on it next.
Could do a 'bad gear studio tour'?? @AudioPilz
@@AlexBallMusic Worked for Kling-Klang.
@@AlexBallMusic what do you say to treads (treaditionalists?) Folks that prefer tank treads to wheels like Vince Clarke and his mobile rig?
every studio tour needs a studio tour song
Most studio tour videos have a cliché comment: "but I want to hear them being used, not talked about!"
I made sure to kill that by being as annoying as possible in the first minute.
"Er, yeah, maybe just talk".
First world problems: too little space for not enough gear! 😂
@@johnvcougar And when you actually move in a bigger space you want your cramped room back, because it was so cozy.
I knew something bad would happen when I saw you dancing like that!
"Only one Juno-6 was harmed in the making of this video". Thanks for the educational and highly entertaining studio tour.
that was a total shock, man, I'm sorryy :(
That poor Juno, no wonder it was in the corner... 😭
*screams of agony from the juno-6*
I'll have it fixed in a few days when I get a moment. Maybe I'll upload a short of the fix as a happy ending.
And as the Prophet 5 predicted, Peace and Prosperity returned to Ro-Land.
The gear, the original music, the skills at playing many different instruments, and very important : the humor ! What's not to ove about this video. Thank you Alex !
Cheers!
You are SUCH an able musician! My absolute favorite part was you playing the violin/viola/double bass. Thank you for showing everything!
Yes, that was the moment I felt compelled to click Like. 🙂
My favourite part was the song at the beginning... id rather listen and watch this than that trans Swift bloke! 🎵
This really is a Magical Mystery Tour for gear nerds
Lovely thing about this is we get the gear, we get tips and tricks, we get jams and we get lore. Thank you.
For some weird reason, I must admit that I really enjoy those silly songs such as this intro.
It's the only reason I did the video to be honest. :)
@@AlexBallMusicYou had the song done before you recorded a second of video, didn’t you?
Thank you for being you
Thanks!
Oh for heavens sake, I have Studio Tour going around in my head.... Will no doubt wake up in the middle of the night with it still going...thanks a lot. 😅
I'll be stood over you, dancing.
@@AlexBallMusic Great, now I will have nightmares as well....
Best Intro Song of a studio tour ever. Epic!
So much microphone holding! The algorithm is gonna love this. 🙂
I really appreciate the amount of info that's packed into this video as you've solved a bunch of problems I currently have regarding routing etc. Thanks Alex!
Thanks for this: one thing about huge collections like this combined with examples is it really fixes my own GAS because I find I really enjoy my own taste and choices in gear relative to yours, definitely each to their own.
Definitely. We all find the things that work for us. Part of the joy.
There are rare times where I start watching something so interesting that I immediately say, "Now is not the time. Later. Maybe after a bath and in jammies and with a good snack". This is one such video. I only wish I still had a console TV. Just for this.
Not many Production UA-camrs I'll watch this long but Alex is gold.
Nice to hear. I'm always nervous about uploading long videos, but I had to cut a lot to even make this an hour long. Nice that it's proving useful.
All i heard was the intro song and i already knew i was gonna love this video.
44:42 I was doing the washing up and watching this video, but I was stopped dead when you played the classical guitar. Beautiful.
Yeah! I want to know the name of that tune!
Thanks! Just something I composed for the video
Wowza..beautiful
The opening song came as a surprise, made me smile, cheered me up on a brutally hot day. Thumbs up, sir!
Aww, seeing the guitar section you mention feeder... They were great lads, I remember them from the studio. It was a painful shock to everyone when we heard about Jon Lee.
This was such a treat, Alex! Thank you!!!I have to admit I watch too many of these type of videos and two things clearly stood out here:

Studio tour, studio tour........okay now thats stuck into my head, THANK YOU !
Really good video, very nicely put together. Love the musical interludes and great to see range of kit at all price levels. A studio that has clearly grown with you and designed to be used - yey!
Cheers! Yes, started with next to no gear and went from there. It's come a very long way.
Well, that was the best intro song I've heard for a UA-cam video
Me watching the intro: Eek, those flailing legs are a bit close to the Juno-8. Close shave, that.
Me at 56:56: Ah.
I'm so glad you got that synthesizer fixed. I was so worried that I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I stopped looking after myself, I gave up my highly paid and intellectually satisfying job and I let my relationships with friends and family falter. I became morose and introverted and lost all interest in the world around me and the people in it. Nothing seemed to matter any more and I forgot who I used to be and lost sight of everything that I ever could be.
Disclaimer ..... most of that stuff may not actually have happened. Good thing you managed to find another key though! Hurrah!
I’ve revisited this video at least 8 times to listen to the studio tour-song
Another fantastic video, Alex. As always, love the music you make for your videos as much or more than the videos themselves.
If this (normally, much too long) video does not become viral, I don’t know what will. Awesome.
When you have a juno 6 standing in the back for sound treatment, you know you’ve made it
As a longtime fan of you, your synth expertise, and your music, this is one of my favorite videos you've ever made. Thank you so much for keeping analog synth love alive in such a cool, funny, fun, and smart way
always love the "boom" at the end
That is sooo Alex, he did it before on the Moog featured video.
that prophet and ise nin demo was absolutely magical
Wonderful....I can almost smell those synths ! 👍😁
The lust of the musk.
The range of your musical abilities and creativity is very impressive Alex. May you continue to be successful :)
Cheers!
superb intro chap ! keep the music alive. great vids i love the old gear stuff you done roland gear in particular.
Studio tour, studio tour... damn that earworm.
Great video Alex. Love the patchbay and mixer explanation
Thanks for the tour! And a great intro tune. Love it!!❤
Wow that prophet/jupiter8 dual sound is so lush and dreamy
Your knowledge of synths and signal processing never ceases to amaze me. I love your channel and all your videos. Thank you!

offf absolute OUCH at kicking tht key off at the end. What a moment hahah
You have such a wonderful collection of gear and instruments. I like how it's all got a purpose and is being used too. This is what a real working studio looks like 😃

So jealous of your Korg collection. I'm kinda drum machines nerd and have all Minipops except Junior and 4xKR 55 lol. Love them so much.
Hello Alex: This was amazing. Thank you. You acoustic playing shows that you really are a proper musician. Have a lovely day.
I hit like as soon as the intro song finished! Great informative and entertaining video, fantastic demo songs as usual too. I was mightily impressed with the strings/piano demo!
Trying to pay attention to the video but the intro song is bopping about in my head!
Where’s the damn LOVE (❤) button, UA-cam? This is deserving! Thanks for this, Alex. Love your collection of fine instruments. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of them all.
Really enjoyed the tour Alex - the Analord style material at 36:34 was utter class, as was the Prophet 10/Ise-Nin combo at 35:02 wow. Thank you!
I was so worried that your kicks were going to have that result! Oh no! LOL.
🦵🎹
Oh, the classic whale explosion! They still play it every once in a while late at night on KOIN in Portland, they being the ones who filmed it. What a great ending to a fantastic theme song!
Hey Alex that was a brilliant video. The fact that you took the time to demonstrate every item was quite a feat. You are very generous! I like the names for the locations, too. Your strined instrument chops are not so shabby either - that segment sounded very impressive.
Watched the whole thing. Absolutely worth it!
Cheers!
Less than a minute in and it's already the best studio tour I've seen.
Love the combination of real acoustic instruments with synths - as a music teacher thanks for making them look cool
Those all came first. Then the silly noise boxes. :)
Yesss! The two 103 mixers are the deliciousness. I've put so many things through my singular (boo hoo etc).mixer, but have also recorded output from the 109 speakers for added dirt, grit & girth (try saying that after a gallon of guiness) . There's some odd patching quirks i discovered on a full system when i made the videos (i.e., some odd normalisation choices), which add to the charm of the instrument. Great jam at the end of the section 🌅

what a joy it is for me to watch a man enjoy what he does! long live the music 🤘
Amazing job Alex, and it's remarkable to see how truly versatile you are with your talent and musical knowledge.
Omg! Can’t get enough of the into track!! This video is valid just for the intro. Seriously…
Totally thought at the beginning. Man his foot is close to that Juno. Glad I watched till the end. Even though I cried deep inside.
My top 3 music tracks of all time .
1. Alex Ball - Roland just makes sythesizers
2. Alex Ball - Studio tour
3. Hallucinogen - LSD
seeing light behind the gear... this is not a basement??? I always considered you the biggest (or greatest) gear-studio-nerd! Now I'm learning you're doing that stuff for a living and THERE IS LIGHT!!!
awesome intro song btw
That's a beautiful sounding acoustic guitar.
came for the gear, stayed for the music. mad respect alex!
Hey Woody! Cheers.
What a great video - I especially like your Kor(g)ner……..fantastic to see the Trident featured - looking forward to a deeper dive into that one. I loved the mk1 I used to own - with some outboard effects added it could make some great noises.

my school let me take home the 4 track too... great way to learn!
🤜🤛
I start with one of those too, another double cassette deck and eight channel mixer with onboard reverb.
This was really inspirational and lovely watching and listening to.
I got taken back in time from that Korg Trident when I played it and got very emotional from that Spanish guitar playing and sound from it.
The Korg does have some real character to the sound and the Roland are so creamy liquid sounding. Lovely.
I thank you very much for all the work you put in for your viewers enjoyment!
merely the intro song already makes this video a success 😲
Thanks, Alex! That was fab! I am so envious, not just of your gear but also of your prodigious musical ability... totally awesome!
best intro ever
27:28 my favourite moment of many great moments in this video 👍
That was a lovely watch. Thoughtfully produced, musical examples, cuts when needed to avoid faffing about. An elevated studio tour indeed; not surprising from you Alex, but still lovely :)

I am still baffled at the odds of you unearthing that prototype module... But at the same time I cannot think of a more deserving person to own it: )
