I miss my little 505. Sold it cause everyone gave me flak about it being "Old sounding". Never will I bow to peer pressure. Now to hit EBay and find me another.
If you see a 505 going cheap it’s a no-brainer, just buy it. Depending on your favourite genre it’s sounds are brilliant or terrible, but that’s not the point. Assuming the MIDI OUT port works, each of the 16 parts can be assigned its own MIDI note number AND its own MIDI channel. That makes it ripe for triggering external modules like the Novation Drumstation as well as units that are a PITA to program locally such as the Quasimidi 309. There’s more of interest to the 505 than first meets the eye, if it has a working MIDI OUT port of course. Mine does 😁
Exactly - I use this to trigger Samples of higher end samples in Battery 4 for example - plus the MIDI Drum Patterns are great as well and recordable via your MIDI OUT into your DAW.
Wait, can you explain further? You are using the TR 505 to trigger sounds from another module via midi 1-16 in the daw ? I have an mpc2500 but the damn thing does not allow for multitimbrality, I can only trigger one channel via daw (pad1-16 on the MPC midi channel 1 for example) So I wonder if somehow I could use this trick to turn it into a multitimbral module somehow since it does have several midi channels.
Back in '86, as a 16 year old, I befriended some buskers who were using a TR-505 with the note values of the majority of the pads mapped to play bass notes through MIDI on a DX100. Pet Shop Boys covers featuring sequenced drums and bass with digital effects pedals in the high street, powered by a car battery - I couldn't believe my young eyes and ears!
@@AudioPilz if you ever start making tutorials then i could really use and "how to make your drum machine sound more like rock drums" tutorial would be really nice, like version where you mostly use hardware instead of software and or maybe even "how to do industrial drums" tutorial. I personally have behringer 808 and only this week discovered how awesome it sounds with digital delay pedal after it.
It's been a while since I've smiled this much, over a "product-review". Excellent editing, clever "visual-puns", and yet very subjective-informative! Nice one AP! Kudos.
Late to the party on this one but needed to say that out of the 207,281 videos of yours I watched recently this one certainly "rocked" the most. Thank you!
The 80's rock version of the song from the first video was absolutely perfect. Also, I hadn't heard of Komando Elefant, and I might have to start listening to them now that I know that you worked with them.
I paid £200 for one in about 1988, the sounds were totally unsuitable for what I was into (House/Acid), the tempo knob was really difficult to get the exact BPM you needed, and even when you did the tempo would often drift a few BPM faster or slower. I don't miss it.
Actually the sounds are perfect for house and acid and the 707 which the 505 shares its sounds with was used on the first acid track. The problem is that the 505 has only stereo output. The kick is pretty weak without processing. I just use an expanded TR-8 for this sound now. I owned a 505 for years and it was good as a secondary drum machine to layer with another one (in my case it was the Electribe ER-1) and yeah the 505 can not be the master clock source it drifts like mad. I use an Alesis MMT-8 as my master clock source and while that seems to be 1 BPM faster than it should be its drift is only by a few points of a BPM which is great for a sequencer design from 1987.
@@DragonGrafx-16 The only track I ever heard that used this drum machine was Virgo - Do You Know Who You Are. The drums sound at odds with the rest of the track! ruclips.net/video/nKfnfXDAhN0/видео.html
@@NathanJayMusic The 505 has the same sounds as the 707 and 727 (not all but a mix of the two), it doesn't sound as good as you can't process any of the sounds separately Sure the 505 specifically might not have ever been used much for house but it's not a fault of the sounds themselves.
Just found your channel in my RUclips recommendations. Instant subscribe after the first video and am already getting sucked down the rabbit hole of your bag gear playlist. Bad gear or no, you make great music across a bunch of genres, the video content stays interesting the whole time, perfect length, and the video editing is on point! I really hope this channel blows up, you deserve way more than a few thousand subscribers. Geiler scheiß alter! 😁
It holds a special memory slot for me - used it with a Mirage and S-10 for simple bassline sequencing and drums. Took a lot of processing, but it was rock solid and did the job well!
@@torontotonto6189 Thats the thing it doesn't sound bad out of the box. That's an exaggeration, i find that most people that have extreme opinions like this make shitty music or can't create at all.
Yet another from your series I've had the pleasure to own. My quickest turnaround on gear ownership, I burnt the chip out the day after I got it when I thought I could lern2bend just by connecting one solder point to the next. This was back in the affordable days and an important lesson that couldn't have happened to a worse piece of gear 🤮
I love that you're combining the Alesis 3630 with the TR-505. Nothing like combining bad gear with bad gear. I'm really impressed with not just the results of the sound but your musical sensibilities. Your style is vast and interesting. I'm really digging the musical creations on display! Edit: Also, you've got a really great singing voice!
It’s a very cool piece of gear indeed. I stuck a rom hack in it and now have the option of using both Linn and DMX samples at the flick of a switch. Usually I just sequence it with my BSP and that’s just fine most of the time. Individual outs is a simple and very usable mod that’s next on the todo-list.
Japanese Pop group ZIN-SÄY!’s keyboardist Kim Glison used this before her husband Hitori Etsu joined on drums. You can hear this on their song Merry (メリー), which is the last song on their 1988 release As A Face… (顔として･･･)
I had a 505 back in the day. I installed an individual output kit that made it much more usable. I think it has a solid set of samples tho not tweakable. Love your videos!!
This thing is so underrated the sounds are helldry so it does well with multi-efx machines like Boss ME-30 or Digitech 256XL. Best feature of it is it's MIDI omni mode as a mini midi sequencer it can't be beat that alone makes it a great trigger & all-time keeper for me folks
When I had mine I discovered by accident that when it was near a uv lamp it actually pitched up the drum sounds and made them snappier sort of like what you would hear on early Prodigy stuff. I sold it in the end for a Dr Rhythm that had no midi capabilities but had sounds that were excellent especially the clap sounds
JUst came across my 505 in a box and I was like im going to check youtube for videos. With enough practice you can operate the thing very easily and quickly. It was the the only piece of equipment I hadfor a few years so I used it a lot and learnt everything I could about it. if its not the only sequencer you have then you probably wouldnt give it that much of a chance to begin with. I love the 505, a lot of nostagia
I LOVED my 505! Got it as a pawn shop special back in 93' and made a zillion demos on my Tascam Porta 01. The 505 finally died back in 2016...I miss that relic!
I love my TR 505. The screen is very dim ( crystals leaking maybe?) so its a hard time setting it up from the panel, Therefore I sequence it via MIDI using SEQ24 .
Hey, i still use one today and i still love the punch of the Kickdrum and the Snare. That optical 80s charme is just wonderfull, like a Commodore C64 as Drum Machine :)
A little Florian history, Florian rockin' out (on bass!), Florian eating breakfast . . . that's a whole bunch of nicely ticked boxes! And I don't regret for one second that I missed all of this bad music and bad gear back then! 😎
Really enjoying these. You should do something on the Korg Poly 800 which no one seems to like except me. I loved mine close to death and had to leave it after a car accident recently...
Poly800 was my first ever synth of my life: I got it for Christmas when I was 10. I only learned some of it, but got my head around the basics of subtractive synthesis. I since sold but its DCO spirit lives on in my DW-8000, for which I got the Stereoping controller, making it a blast to play & program.
Hell yeah, another soulless drum machine with wich I can spend countless hours until I get it sharp. Nice channel bro, came here for the alesis sr16 video, and stayed for the material. From now on, you can count with another subscriber.
My first Drum Machine, i was 20 when i bought it for 80 euros 😅 Since, i bought the TR707, the TR8 Aira, the TR606 and the TR909, but the TR505 is still in my setup ! I love the sounds of this TR505, the only big drawback is the lack of rapid and accessible controls as mini faders, or more knobs and the lack of separated outputs.
At a time like this, I wish either that my DTX multi 12 had more than the stereo output itself or that I had a power supply for my other Yamaha drum machine, the RX5.
@@AudioPilz I was excited to find out that there are also eproms for the Linn Drum and DX. I'll look into it, as I know someone with excellent soldering skills (and the equipment.)
@@Michael_Smith-Red_No.5 HKA will have more kits ready in October if you haven't grabbed one already. Honestly, super easy to solder this kind of stuff (large contacts/components) and individual outs on the 505 are also incredibly easy to do also.
Found one of these at a local music shop. I thought it sounded horrible. But then I heard the clap. I believe this to be my favorite Clap in all the TR drum series. Hmmmm. I brought my MPC and sampled it :)
I bought a 505 about a month ago and waited a few day to enjoy the unboxing even more but when I plugged it in 2 pads didn't work. I was so upset I boxed it up again but curiosity got the better of me & I decided to see if It could be fixed. Turns out the individual pad volume was set to 0 meaning no sound. Sorted in a nano second!! Needless to say I LOVE this thing again
I like these old EPROM drum machines. Some are better than others but they have a certain punchiness (usually) that in the context can be quite useful. In this vein, I have the Boss DR-220E. It's not right for everything but for synthwave it fits like a glove.
Used the 505 to trigg & seq with: 1) Ensoniq Mirage II digital sampler (with MASOS software) 2) Roland D-70 & Juno 106 3) Korg M3R 4) Cakewalk 2002 & Soundblaster II 5) KGB software w Claypipe interface
Please make a video on AutoTune. I certainly love it but it got so much widespread hate for so many years before being as accepted as it is now that I think it definitely qualifies as Bad Gear. Love your channel btw, great stuff!
I had one of these it had modded individual outputs for each drum pad mini jacks i got it cheap on ebay kept it for a couple of years then sold it. Loved it for a cool looking midi controller
I think the MIDI out on my 505 might be broken as well? I really like the 505's built-in pattern sequencing, and I was hoping to use the MIDI out to sequence some Garageband drums but the triggering is broken, no matter what I try. edit: The MIDI out is now working properly when I use the Mio USB MIDI adapter. Still doesn't work with the MIDI interface built into my audio interface. The TR505 ain't so bad after all ;)
I liked the first jam and the hair metal one at the end, good stuff. :) As to the 505, those are decent samples on it really, but the lack of tweakability easily means I'd never get one when I can just use the samples instead if I'm so inclined.
I would just LOVE to hang out in your studio with you for a deep dive into your gear! I'll even bring some wine from the Weinviertel. Or beer if you prefer. :)
Sounds good in that genre of music. I wonder if it can work in today’s retro futuristic genres. Have you reviewed the Kawai R-100 series known for industrial music drum sounds?
What didn't do it for me was the limitation of having only 5 'velocity' levels when I needed more expressive drums. I let it go when I bought the U-110.
I like that you use your core instruments for a jam, MF Drive, Zoom stompbox (I have both) and your trusty rocket:) I also like that some of the gear is cheap, good for nubies. BTW, I just got a MXR Doubleshot that's now connected to my 303. It's a highly disregarded pedal (bad gear). I really wish you were in London as would love you to take the piss out of some of my gear haha
had one of these back in the early 90s.... found memories of it, but no way I'd buy one again, especially considering how much they are going for now.... think I'll stick to my Elektron Digitakt

@@Michael_Smith-Red_No.5 HKA will have more kits ready in October if you haven't grabbed one already. Honestly, super easy to solder this kind of stuff (large contacts/components) and individual outs on the 505 are also incredibly easy to do also.
Found one of these at a local music shop. I thought it sounded horrible. But then I heard the clap.
I believe this to be my favorite Clap in all the TR drum series. Hmmmm.
I brought my MPC and sampled it :)
Don't forget to check out the TR505 mod episode. It sounds epic now ruclips.net/video/pPUYGK80yc0/видео.html
You could also just use the endless roland samples found in any daw nowadays
@@mattzr1550 ....thats no fun
Bow du hast ja wirklich ein space echo, jetzt werd ich aba langsam neidisch.. Wünsche dir noch einen schönen Abend

I bought a 505 about a month ago and waited a few day to enjoy the unboxing even more but when I plugged it in 2 pads didn't work. I was so upset I boxed it up again but curiosity got the better of me & I decided to see if It could be fixed. Turns out the individual pad volume was set to 0 meaning no sound. Sorted in a nano second!! Needless to say I LOVE this thing again
Have you tried modding it? ruclips.net/video/pPUYGK80yc0/видео.html
@@AudioPilz lol perhaps.. I definitely prefer my gear in original condition though.
I factory-reset mine 30 seconds after I unboxed it.
Love the Outrun intro!
It's from the same year as the TR505;)
@@AudioPilz That's excellent!
how'd the singer do that live @2:40 ??
It was the Bad Gear guy editing in the studio version right before the break of the live recording;)
@@AudioPilz oh, dang! we need to invent something to do that in real time on stage!!
I like these old EPROM drum machines. Some are better than others but they have a certain punchiness (usually) that in the context can be quite useful. In this vein, I have the Boss DR-220E. It's not right for everything but for synthwave it fits like a glove.
Have you heard the modified version? ruclips.net/video/pPUYGK80yc0/видео.html
My first drum machine
I have two of them. It was all I had to make drum tracks from the 80s until about 2005. they're fine...the tempo does wander slightly though.
...it is drifting like a glacier
Used the 505 to trigg & seq with:
1) Ensoniq Mirage II digital sampler (with MASOS software)
2) Roland D-70 & Juno 106
3) Korg M3R
4) Cakewalk 2002 & Soundblaster II
5) KGB software w Claypipe interface
Please make a video on AutoTune. I certainly love it but it got so much widespread hate for so many years before being as accepted as it is now that I think it definitely qualifies as Bad Gear. Love your channel btw, great stuff!
Thanks! You're actually the first one to comment on the autotune insert (which kinda surpises me;) #teamautotune
I had one of these it had modded individual outputs for each drum pad mini jacks i got it cheap on ebay kept it for a couple of years then sold it. Loved it for a cool looking midi controller
I think the MIDI out on my 505 might be broken as well? I really like the 505's built-in pattern sequencing, and I was hoping to use the MIDI out to sequence some Garageband drums but the triggering is broken, no matter what I try.
edit: The MIDI out is now working properly when I use the Mio USB MIDI adapter. Still doesn't work with the MIDI interface built into my audio interface. The TR505 ain't so bad after all ;)
Klingt doch geil 😍
Besonders für so Zeug, wie ab 1:49 😄😻
Hast du den mod gehört? ruclips.net/video/pPUYGK80yc0/видео.html
1:14 is that a Rammsein reference?
Of course it is ;)
I enjoy these old bud great machines😁🎶
The 505 has a very special place in my heart
Your videos are entertaining. Thank you
Thanks! It means a lot to me...
Just discovered your channel and subbed. Excellent work.
Thanks!
Geile video! Das ist super Kontent.
Vielen Dank!!!
I liked the first jam and the hair metal one at the end, good stuff. :)
As to the 505, those are decent samples on it really, but the lack of tweakability easily means I'd never get one when I can just use the samples instead if I'm so inclined.
Thank you!!!
I would just LOVE to hang out in your studio with you for a deep dive into your gear! I'll even bring some wine from the Weinviertel. Or beer if you prefer. :)
We should be able to find a mode for that!
Sounds good in that genre of music. I wonder if it can work in today’s retro futuristic genres.
Have you reviewed the Kawai R-100 series known for industrial music drum sounds?
Great suggestion, thank you!!!
What didn't do it for me was the limitation of having only 5 'velocity' levels when I needed more expressive drums. I let it go when I bought the U-110.
Yeah, "1" is often not soft enough
Dude wtf that song at the end was amazing!!!!!
I like that you use your core instruments for a jam, MF Drive, Zoom stompbox (I have both) and your trusty rocket:) I also like that some of the gear is cheap, good for nubies. BTW, I just got a MXR Doubleshot that's now connected to my 303. It's a highly disregarded pedal (bad gear). I really wish you were in London as would love you to take the piss out of some of my gear haha
Love MXR gear. Thanks for the invitation!
great work ... i love these sounds, you can upload a link with the samples please thanks
Thanks. Working on a Bad Gear Sample set at the moment!
Cool video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
had one of these back in the early 90s.... found memories of it, but no way I'd buy one again, especially considering how much they are going for now.... think I'll stick to my Elektron Digitakt
Digitakt is so great!
That Jethro Tull Locomotive Breath joke just killed me
Thanks!
Did I miss this one. Lol great production
Thank you so much!!!
Awesome, even as someone who never used anything else than a reloop mixage 😂 can you do a video on the jungle beat thing?
Today I came across this video, old but good!
😀😀😀
Great video!
Thanks!
505 snare; short, sharp love it!
😻😻😻
I kinda dig that snare, honestly. Throw a little pitch shifting on there for that Prince style detuned snare...not that I'm comparing it to a Linn lol
Why not?!? ;)
Really nice jam there btw
Thank you!!!
I’ve never clicked subscribe on a channel as quick before!
That's nice to hear, THX!
Des like and subscribe is einer der besten Ideen was ein "RUclips Musiker" nur einfallen könnte.. Na bin echt gespannt auf dein nächsten streich...
Besten Dank!
