"The QS300 is synthesizer and workstation. 16-track on-board sequencer based off the QS300 MIDI sequencer. The sounds are quite good, generated from Yamaha's AWM2 analog modeling method, this synth has become a favorite of Ravers, Techno and Trance producers and DJs. The standard GS, GM sounds, The QS300 has a large LCD for viewing and selection of status, effects, preset voices, rhythm patterns, chords, and more. It's full of hundreds of sounds including 22 drum kits. It has a disk drive, Swing effect, Quantize, MIDI controller, XG compatible...an impressive workstation for the price."
YouTube via yarosystems. Note this isn't a tutorial, he's just playing music he created. "This is what I've made. Now you show me your covers." It does show what the individual synths sound like in the mix. First track: Novation Nova Emu ESI 4000 for Linndrum samples Yamaha QS300 sequencer
Second track: KORG R3 Novation Nova Emu ESI 4000 for Linndrum samples Yamaha QS300 sequencer
"Yamaha QS300 was my first synth/workstation ever.
I sell it a few years ago, and searching some videos on the web, most of them don't make justice to show how powerful this synth is.It has great sounds and a excellent sequencer.This song was a factory demo.At that time i haven't a good camera to do some videos with it, but i recorded some audio with it.THIS IS A FACTORY DEMO!"

It's not quite like the original, neither is not intentend to be.

"Nice Jean michel Jarre cover recorded at the Hilltree Studio netherlands.If you want to listen to a realistic copy of this JMJ track, you better listen to the master himself ;) This is just a sunday afternoon jam track, made with the yamaha qs300 and qy700.....p.s no arpeggiator was used for this track, More synth music at http://wwwgroenewoudnet.nl"
"I've asked my friend Synthyaro who is an excellent performer to help me cover this composition. Synthyaro is playing the chords and choir parts (using Korg R3 and Yamaha QS300) and I am playing a sample of a famous Elka Synthex (via Korg TR).
Video mix, audio mix and titles by Synthyaro ;)
P.S: Please also click on the response link so Synthyaro's vid would also get the views."
"I have asked my friend Synthyaro (from Poland) to help me create this cover (I am from Serbia). So, this can be thought of as an international project :D
Synths:
synthyaro: Yamaha QS300, Korg R3
me: Korg TR61 (used as a controller playing a SF2 sample of Elka Synthex)
I played the Quasimidi Raven without any additional effects or eq. All effects and sounds including the intro come from the Raven Max. I play mainly factory sounds.
The Raven was developed and produced by Quasimidi in Germany in 1996. It was not the first blue synth from Germany ;-). Quasimidi closed its doors in 2000. The Raven has 2 modes: 1. the PERFORMANCE mode, which allows you to combine 4 sounds with 2 effect processors, with arpeggiators to a "performance". 2. the SEQUENCER mode, where you can combine (preset) part patterns (for bass, sequencer, chord, drums...) to achieve new authentic electronica/techno styles. The 2 effect processors are editable and can be added to the single parts. Muting of single parts in realtime possible.
Later, the MAX expansion came out, which expanded the Raven with 1000 new sounds, 64 MB new sample material, new loops and motivs and new OS with new functions. Later Raven keyboards were sold exclusively with the MAX. The Max came out with its own 33 page manual to describe the new functions. And yes, it is possible to create own motivs and patterns, but the concept is clearly designed for the preset user.
Back in the day, the RAVEN was the only way to make techno tracks with one single keyboard, it was the first of its kind. Later, the big manufacturers took Quasimidi's concept further (or should I say they actually stole it?) - Yamaha with the QS300 and CS1x, Roland with the JX-305 Groovesynth, just to name a few.
