YAMAHA - SBV 500

16 Step Sequencer, Drum Machine and Effects Processor.

1 - Modulator effect Mode

The 16-steps fx modulator is especially designed for real-time visual performance. The principle is quite simple: the step modulator cyclically changes the effect settings to a specified values and creates moving textures or rich rhythmic patterns (It is also possible to set the number of steps for a sequence, up to 16 at 480 ticks per note resolution). Modulator motion can be played in 5 modes:forward, backward, pendulum, random and forward/backward.

2- Virtual Drum Machine

The virtual Drum  on modelling virtual analog.

Drum Patterns are recorded using the step modulator.  Each step slider is split into 5 equal zones and each of them corresponds to a specific percussion between 5 percussions:

- muted (no sound)

- open hihat

- closed hihat

- snare drum

- bass drum.

3- Tb303 Emulator

Also, a  virtual analog and emulates the iconic TB-303 bassliner: notes are entered using the step modulator sliders from bottom position for lower octave to higher, in addition the bassliner has some sonic controls including filter cutoff, resonance and slide emulation (but no accent "twang"). <br> This unit is in very good condition and works perfectly!
