3. honky tonk music klone kit

sound demo of the quirky klone kit control module. made in the uk 1983 it was a cheap 5 voice alternative to other popular but expensive e-drum solutions of that time. all channels are identical except the snare channel which offers noise. the sound is very limited - followed up by the more flexible klone kit 2. since there's no demo of version 1 I decided to shoot a quick video with proper audio. retail was 299 ukp.

quick demo of all preset patterns from this funky little Italian 80s drum machine.

11. lel psr and radel electronic tabla

little jam on the rare bme rattlesnake analog drummachine (ca. 1982)

7/16/23 The sound of a Viscount PCM 64S dying :(please send schematics :)

video upload by Cfpp0

This appears to be the first post to feature the Viscount PCM 64S.

"This rare and feature-packed (trigger in, out, individual snare out, footswitch jacks for break, clap, and start, volume knobs for six categories, 2 clap variation buttons, three percussion cancel buttons) preset pattern drum machine worked fine every time. Yet it wasn’t getting used enough and was put in a storage box and listed on Reverb. It sold, so it got pulled out for a final test (as one does) before shipping. What evil invisible specter lived in that box? Not sure, but it flew this Viscount over the cookoo’s nest and now this once glorious machine just ratchets and glitches. I opened it up and saw no bulging or leaking capacitors or obvious issues. We have a tech who is willing to fix it, and the previous buyer is still willing to buy it once it’s fixed, but we have no schematic. Viscount was an Italian company and restoration of antiquity is one of the many things at which Italians excel. So, if you have a schematic, posso avere? Ti prego!"

Oberheim's Lost Classic: The OB12 - Synth and Software

video upload by synthandsoftware

"Synth and Software presents: Oberheim's Lost Classic - The OB12. Mark Jenkins profiles a synth that continues to divide opinion after 20 years"

---

Some of the divide comes from the OB12 being a Viscount virtual analog. Viscount licensed the Oberheim name.

Sound demos come in at 5:36. It kind of reminds me of an Akai AX-60 in character more than a vintage Oberheim. I actually own both, and vintage Oberheim. It has a similar edge to the AX-60. The OB-12 does excel at pads and warm strings. It's an intersting synth.

SOUNDMIT 2021 - LEONARDO GABRIELLI - A FAMILY AFFAIR Live - @Viscount International

video upload by SOUNDMIT

"Durante il #soundmit 2021, parte dei live che abbiamo potuto vedere e sentire, sono stati prodotti dal collettivo MACCHINE NOSTRE, ensemble di musicisti strettamente legati al MUSEO DEL SYNTH. Una serie di video girati in alcune delle location mozzafiato di #macerata come il Palazzo Buonaccorsi che vediamo in questo video.

In questa live dal titolo 'A Family Affair' ritroviamo Leonardo Gabrielli alla guida di un nuovissimo #viscount LEGEND 70's e di un Viscount #oberheim OB-12.

A family affair perchè Gabrielli è figlio d'arte: mentre Leo è una delle menti dietro al progetto LEGEND 70's, l'OB-12 fu progettato negli anni 2000 da suo padre!"

Googlish:

"During the #soundmit 2021, part of the live shows that we could see and hear were produced by the MACCHINE NOSTRE collective, an ensemble of musicians closely linked to the SYNTH MUSEUM. A series of videos shot in some of the breathtaking locations of #macerata such as Palazzo Buonaccorsi that we see in this video.

In this live entitled "A Family Affair" we find Leonardo Gabrielli driving a brand new #viscount LEGEND 70's and a Viscount #oberheim OB-12.

A family affair because Gabrielli is a son of art: while Leo is one of the minds behind the LEGEND 70's project, the OB-12 was designed in the 2000s by his father!"

Kraft Music - Sound Comparison - Korg SV-2, Crumar Seven and Viscount Legend 70's

"Find exclusive Korg, Crumar and Viscount BUNDLES at Kraft Music:
https://www.kraftmusic.com/digital-pi...

The Korg SV-2, Crumar Seven and Viscount Legend '70s, are all three powerful instruments that offer each a unique set of features, control panel and most importantly, type of sound. Some musicians require that, "certain sound" that really matches with the music or the style they're playing. High gain, slight distortion, subtle rotary and etc, all matter when you are considering which electric piano is the right fit for you. Another thought to consider is the panel layout. If you're a working musician, there's a strong chance you're looking for a very specific set of features and settings placed in a convenient area of the panel for easier access. No screen driving, pressing shift for alternative functions or use of jog dials.

While not meant to be a deep-dive into the difference in sound, we patched together this short sound comparison of the three aforementioned pianos. Each piano closely playing the same piece written and performed by our good friend Ray Tevich.

Take a quick sound check of the Korg SV-2, Crumar Seven and Viscount Legend 70's Electric pianos and consider what are the sounds and features that matter to you! If you'd like, you can give us a all or chat with us at Kraftmusic.com and ask us any questions you have regarding any of these pianos. Our team is composed of seasoned musicians that love to share their passion of music with everyone, and help you with your musical endeavors.
