Roland RS-09 Gothic Analog Organ Strings Vintage Synthesizer Rik Marston

Roland RS-09 Gothic Analog Organ Strings
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD!!** **TURN IT UP!!**

My beautiful vintage Roland RS-09 organ/string
synthesizer! So LUSH & SWEET! The ensemble
effect is AWESOME!!! This is a synth I had waited
for years for that always got away... until now!
It mostly works, it's missing the ATTACK slider
and cap... it has issues with the envelope I think.
Every time you change keys (unless holding one
or more keys down) the envelope re-triggers like
it was a mono synth! So it needs some repairs!
No Decay or Sustain on the keys unless holding
them down. If you know what may need to be
fixed on this little RS-09 please leave a comment
below! I want to restore this to it's fullest!!!
This still works great for what I need from it,
I would hold down more than one key anyway...
This is awesome for Ambient, Gothic, Synth-Pop...
No going to sell this one! It's a keeper for sure!!
Delay FX: ART MultiVerb LT on L2 39%

"Korg R3 "Vintage Leads" Digital VA Synthesizer Radias
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD!!** **Turn it UP!!**

A fantastic lower priced second hand digital
synthesizer, the Korg R3 can do so many things!!
It's the smaller brother of the Korg Radias,
it has the Vocoder, Motion Recording, ARP's,
great MMT digital sounds & you can really
make some nice vintage spacey leads & FX!!
This is EXCELLENT for Ambient music for sure!!
A good alternative to the regular Korg microKORG,
the R3 has bigger keys and way more for just
about the same used price! It just sounds great!
And it makes a nice compact midi controller, too!!
Super sweet for the money!!!

Thank you for watching!

Doors Riders on the Storm Moog Grandmother DeepMind 6 Analog Synthesizer Rik Marston

"The Doors "Riders on the Storm" Moog Grandmother + DeepMind 6
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD!!** **Turn it UP!**

MIDI FILE FRIDAY: The Doors - "Riders on the Storm"
I think this was the hardest to do by hand, timing had
to be perfect, (which I failed at LOLOL) but it is ALL ANALOG!
Moog Grandmother plays the Organ Bass & the Behringer
DeepMind 6 covers the Guitar, Rhodes & vocal melody.
The Grandmother was sequenced & then all knobs were
recorded on the fly to give all of the movement & depth.
The Rhodes sound was "Reedep3" with Delay, Guitar
was "PWM Pad" vocal melody was "2pSweeppad".
Extra Reverb & Delay effects added post in Ableton LIVE.
NO DRUMS INCLUDED, this is strictly synthesizer."

Analog Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD!!** **Turn it UP!!**

Here it is right out of the box, no patching.
Super awesome MOOG GRANDMOTHER semi-modular
analog synthesizer, almost perfection I'd say (minus the
Ultimate Support Stand issue). I would recommend this
synth to anyone interested in the Classic Moog Vibe,
funky basses, epic leads.... I can go on! Very fun to play!
It's super solid, built like a tank, knobs are sweet to twist!
Final Rating: 8.9 out of 10. Just wish we can have this
in a 49 key and fix the issues underneath so Ultimate
Support Stand users don't have to put something under
the Grandmother to keep it from bouncing up & down.
There are some sounds in this demo that are very LOW
so watch your speakers & headphones! It's earthshaking!
I LOVE THE MOOG GRANDMOTHER!!! WIN! WIN! WIN!!!!!!!!!

MIDI FILE FRIDAY:
Heart - Barracuda (1977)
This is a song I wanted to cover for a long time
and today it came up in my head & I said "NOW!"
I got this one down so a real Guitarist & Vocalist
can rock out & sing to it, it's a Techno / Industrial
version at 138 BPM. I think the original is 135? 136?
I'm not a drummer so you tell me! ;) - Tap Tempo
here we go! This is mostly Bass & Drums version
using the Korg Kronos w/ Roland Jupiter-8 Bass,
Brass & Leads Samples from the Reverb Roland
Synth Collection Sample Pack (Link Below) and
then I used the Behringer DeepMind 6 for the
full on analog acid bass line. Sweet to use w/ MIDI!
Drums of course are GENERAL MIDI! :)

Beethoven Moonlight Sonata Behringer DeepMind 6 Synthesizer Music Rik Marston

Published on Jan 7, 2019 SynthgodXXX

"**Watch in HD** **Turn it UP!**

Piano Sonata No. 14 in C# minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2, popularly known as the "Moonlight Sonata", is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi

I am working on my new CD "33" and I am getting re-inspired by my favorite classical composers.
I multi-tracked the Behringer DeepMind 6 and tweaked patches "Pulsar","Slow Pad" & "Phat Morph"and made this rendition of this beautiful song.
It's my favorite classical work by Beethoven.
This was sequenced on the Korg Kronos then I sent MIDI to the DeepMind 6 & multi-tracked on Ableton LIVE.
All effects are coming from the Behringer DeepMind 6, no other effects used.
Awesome synth! I hope you like it!
Of course it is a synthesizer adaptation SO BE KIND CLASSICAL WIZARDS!
It is very hard to do classical with synthesizers, unless your name is WENDY CARLOS!!!

Korg Kronos - Behringer DeepMind 6 - Reverb Roland Synth
Collection Sample Pack Jupiter-8 Juno-106 Samples
Synthesizer & Sample Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD** **Turn it UP!**

MIDI FILE FRIDAY
This is my favorite Gustav Holst work from "The Planets",
I used the Korg Kronos using the Reverb Roland Synth
Collection Sample Pack Jupiter-8 Juno-106 Samples.
The Behringer DeepMind 6 I used patch "Lost Verb" for
the deep analog space drone. There are some serious
pitch jumps, using samples in classic works can be very
tricky, so PLEASE CLASSICAL WIZARDS BE KIND. This is
a synthesizer adaptation AND WAS VERY HARD TO DO!
Anyways, it's the 2019 Blade Runner Dream Sequence Mix.
(Not really but it just turned 2019 & I'm a Sci-Fi geek!)
I love the combination of Roland Juno-106 & Jupiter-8
Samples, I used Juno-106 "106 Impact" & "JP8 Mode Brass"
Sweep sample is "JP8 Shriekback" for those 80's LUSH
Sweeps! ;) My FAVORITE!

"Behringer DeepMind 6 Ambient ARPs & Tweaks
Synthesizer Demo by Rik Marston
**Watch in HD** **Turn it UP!!!**

Yes the Behringer DeepMind 6 is back!!!!
I seriously am thinking about putting the
Behringer DeepMind series in the top of
my list for synth recommendations of 2018.
I know they came out a few years back but
Behringer really is doing a great job making
clones & custom synthesizers. That BARP
Odyssey looks FANTASTIC! Sounds GREAT!
If you know me & this channel you know how
much I LOVE the ARP Odyssey & love the
KARP Odyssey! Anyway this video is me
playing some slow bass lines, ARPs &
crazy alien modulated leads on the DM6.
...God, I love this synthesizer! So flexible!
Great effects!! Get one if you get a great
deal because they are already cheaper
than their original introduction prices. ;)
