I love the vintage Roland modulars and this System 100m is exceptional. This is a pretty full rig and I have to thank my friend Bon Harris from Nitzer Ebb for parking it here at my studio for a minute. This 100m is fully loaded with nearly every module Roland made for it and I wanted to give the dual sequencers a little workout as I had never used these before.

I love modulars for simple and direct sounds and the 100m is a champion here with a cutting, narrow and precise yet still warm analog sound. This patch is running entirely on the 100m. There is no multitracking, everything is running 100 percent live with no additional processing and no additional sequencing. For these kind of generative and repetitive lines that can be the foundation of a song, the 100m is ace!

The first sequencer also acts as the master clock and everything is getting tempo from that. I’m also running the analog delays inside the phaser modules sequentially for a longer flanger tone on the snare. The kick also has a secondary noise source that’s getting phased via the 100m phaser.

All I’m doing is muting and unmuting the 4 channels coming off the 100m and some tonal tweaks. What you hear is just the raw sound from the machine with no post processing.
