Jam: Yamaha RX11 vs Moog Werkstatt vs Behringer TD-3 vs Raspberry Pi Pico Arpeggiator (ft Korg FX)


Listen Later

This time the Raspberry Pi Pico simply acts as a MIDI clock synced arpeggiator for the Moog Werkstatt. The star of the show however is the Yamaha RX11 Digital Rhythm Programmer, which I bought used almost exactly 35 years ago (and which spent the last couple of decades accompanying my dad with his guitar).

===========================

Gear Used:

Yamaha RX11 Digital Rhythm Programmer

Raspberry Pi Pico with 3 MCP4725 DACs and separate slider and MIDI interface boards.
Moog Werkstatt-01
Korg NTS-1
Korg Monotron Delay
My DIY PT2399-based delay unit

===========================

The Set Up:

The Yamaha RX11 drum machine is running in song mode and sends MIDI clock to the Behringer TD-3 and to the Raspberry Pi Pico.

Additionally, the TD-3 is connected to my laptop via USB and receives pattern changes via the excellent TD-3 Patcher by Amit Talwar. You can find it at https://www.amitszone.com/products/td-3-patcher/

The Pico is running a simple arpeggio synced to MIDI clock into the Werkstatt's VCO and gate inputs. Its fader board allows to control the ADSR envelope of the Werkstatt's VCA and VCF simultaneously.

For effects, the Werkstatt's output runs into the Korg NTS-1 running a flanger and stereo delay, the TD-3 is connected to my PT2399-based delay and the RX11's clap goes into the Korg Monotron for additional PT2399 delay goodness.
