JayB's Yamaha S80 Performances

"Playing a few of the performances I created using the sounds form my soundbank. Unfortunately these Performance patches aren't available for download, but feel free to create your own ones.

The rhythms are all created using the internal arpeggiator. The kicks are available as single voices without tune and so I could use them here.

P.S.: I'm sorry for the video perspective and my left hand not always visible. It din't have much to do anyway."

"I've finally got videos of all the lectures from the Spring 2008 version of my class on "Electronics for Music Synthesis" posted to blip.tv. Previous versions of the class were called "Theory and Design of Music Synthesizers" - I retitled the class to more clearly indicated the increased analog focus and decreased digital focus of this version of the class (but there's some random bits of DSP-ish stuff in there, like discussions of aliasing).

There were 22 lectures this semester. Alas only 21 are posted, since I had technical issues with the camera one day."
