DX5 sampling a pipeline into the Emax

Published on Jul 30, 2019 DX5

Awesome shirt! :)

"I am working on a new cover and needed a certain sound. How to get it?: sampling a pipeline.
* * Guess the song I will be covering?. Write it in the comments section. * *
This sample will need some post production though, but It is a good approach to what I need."

Commodore 64 and Pro Tools sync'ed (DM Enjoy the Silence)

Published on Jul 2, 2019 DX5

"Just testing how a Commodore 64 and Pro Tools suit sync'ed together.
C64 DCO's are three, sharing one filter. I made a backtrack with three tracks: 1: bassline, 2:extra "drums" and 3: initial sequence and "guitar". C64 runs as slave, with Pro Tools as master. They sync for start/stop, as well as for MIDI CLOCK.


Gear used:
Commodore 64 Aldi version (a bit yellowish!). SID 8580
Emu Emax II
Roland Promars MRS-2
Roland JP8000.

Backtrack originally recorded in Pro Tools (with many more instruments)"

DTRONICS DT7 controller en Yamaha DX7 with supermax board

Published on May 6, 2019 geertdx7

"A short demonstration of my DT7 together with my DX7 that is equipped with a supermax board.
You hear an arpeggiator sound in the DX7 and I edit this with the DT7 from DTRONICS.
It is an ideal combination, at the end of the video I use my DX5 for a short time, but that is separate from the DT7.
Sorry for the bad picture, but it is just a video to see the possibilities of the DT7 and DX7.
Filming and operating with just two hands is not ideal. I hope you understand this.
But a better video will follow in the long term."

DTONICS DT7 controller with Yamaha DX5

Published on Mar 25, 2019 geertdx7

"This is a quick demo of the DT7 controller made by DTRONICS in the Netherlands. it is the ultimate controller for the DX7 and DX5 synthesizer. You can now control all parameters in real time. This is the first version that was made the demo number 2. I quickly made this video with a telephone camera and the circumstances were not ideal for filming, but I hope you get a quick impression of what this powerful controller can do . Soon I will come with an extensive and clearer video about this controller. But enjoy this short video."
