Siel DK70 keytar Demo
YouTube via sounddoctorin
"Bob Weigel of http://www.sounddoctorin.com plays the DK70 to a background loop done with just a K1200 Kurzweil bass sound and Alesis D4 drums. This unit is fairly rare. Only a few thousand made. It has one SSM2045 VCF and one generator chip that is driven by the SSM2031 HF vco chip. And a TDA1022 BBD for chorus as I recall. Digital envelopes. The DK80 is basically twice the synthesizer except they only use 6 voices on each voice chip! THe DK70 is 8 voice. Not sure why they did that but anyway both units have basically the same sound engine, the DK80 is just bigger and is 'Bi-timbral' so it can layer the two sounds etc. The keytar necks are hard to come by. If anyone has one lying around let me know. I have two more of these I'd like to rig up for somebody. Of course you can play them without the neck just using the pitch wheel instead of the bender and the vibrato button that is on the machine..but you sacrifice the octave shifter and the hold button."

why do these guys waste their $ on all this gear? learn to make some music or at least try to raise the level of you aesthetic. good taste - have any of these serial YouTube synth guys ever heard of the concept?
ReplyDeleteGotta remember, dude... one man's shitwich is another man's chocolate cake. Sometimes I enjoy watching obsessive tweakers playing around in their pile of synth-booty like 9-year-olds with ADD. They're not doing it because they're awesome, they're doing it because they want to connect with something. And you & me also apparently, hence the vids.
