Synthesizer Programming - Episode 3 - Harpsichord

YouTube via Thalassa77. Episode 2, Episode 1.
"How to create a Harpsichord Sound. From a basic patch to 18th century Harpsichord ;) This sound is very useful in a lot of music styles, just add some effects and you will get for example, funky clave sound.

The parameters values are approx. Values are expressed in %. The synthesizer is synth1 a free vst synthesizer"

Korg micro preset analogue synthesizer

via this auction

"As used by the band OMD on their first 2 albums, most famously on the song 'Enola Gay'! It's a 32-note monophonic preset synthesizer with 6 push-button presets including voice, synth1, synth2, brass, string, and wood.

There is a lot of fun to be had with the 'traveller' control, a sort of filter and resonance control rolled into one, offering interesting squelchy acid-style bass run effects!"

How to use an Intel PC stick as a standalone VST host / VST player / synthesizer

Published on Apr 28, 2020 Floyd Steinberg

"How to use an Intel PC stick as a standalone VST host / VST player /synthesizer. Table of contents below! Intel PC sticks are USB-stick-sized X86 PCs running Windows Home Edition. In this video, I'm installing a DAW and some popular VST plugins on one of them, seeing if there's enough performance to create a track with multiple virtual instruments. Also: using this as a monitor-less device booting your favourite software synth or plugin, playable with an external MIDI controller.

Chung Kuo (Revisited)

Chung Kuo (Revisited) by Christopher Clement
"A modern recreation of the classic Vangelis track "Chung Kuo" from the album China. With the exception of the Hollow Sun VP-330 samples, the bulk of the analog tones are coming from Applied Acoustics Systems Ultra Analog VST (8 instances). The melody line is played on Ichiro Toda's Synth1 VST."

Korg Micro Preset with 14 Overlay Cards

via this auction

"The Korg Micro Preset synthesizer is a late 1970s synth with a unique matrix of pre-set sounds, including woodwind, banjo, bagpipe, steam locomotive and others and a keyboard all housed in a wooden box!
It's a 32-note monophonic preset synthesizer with 6 push-button presets including voice, synth1, synth2, brass, string, and wood. Its single-oscillator design has rudimentary decay/release envelope controls.

It comes with 14 preset overlays, a cover and music stand. The power supply is hard-wired in and provides power. I have tested it and all works fine..."
