KORG DS 10 -- HI-5 (original song)


YouTube via huntraun
"My first original song using the Korg DS-10. Let me know what you think. Sorry about the terrible video quality, but I figured there isn't much to watch anyways. Also, the audio isn't quite in sync with the video because I figured it's better to have good sound quality than worry about video."

Nord Catalog 2008 - Clavia Still Clavia

3.8M PDF here
Note this is the 2008 catalog, not the 2009. If you haven't seen it you'll find a section on the company history and the Nord factory. Also a note on Clavia vs. Nord below.

Clavia's history starts in 1983 with their drum synths, but we of course recognize Clavia, now Nord, as the company to bring us the first virtual analog synth, the original Nord Lead. "The Nord Lead synthesizer was released in 1995. It was Clavia's first synthesizer and the first on the market to emulate analog synthesis. Thanks to its warm analog-like sound and straight forward user interface, the Nord Lead quickly became a huge success. With the Nord Lead Clavia introduced the term virtual analog, which since then has become widely accepted and synonymous with this form of synthesis."

Update: I of course couldn't help but notice the references to Clavia. If you remember, Clavia rebranded themselves to Nord Keyboards (the old http://clavia.se will redirect you to the newly branded site). There was some confusion as to whether they actually changed their name. If you look at the Catalog footnotes and the about page on Nord Keyboards you will see they are still Clavia DMI AB. Their name remains Clavia and their gear is being marketed as Nord Keyboards. It will be interesting to see what happens in time, both in the near future and years from now.

MFoS modular

via Skrog Productions on electro-music.com where you will find follow up comments and images including the Dual ADSR further below.

"Largely MFoS with Elby, CGS, Yuvsynth, Roman Sowa, BugBrand circuits. All modules up & running bar Quantizers & Gate to Trig. converters. I've populated all boards with waterwash solder for shiney long lasting component connections (hopefully Very Happy ).

It's been the simplest faults that catch me out all the time building during debugs but i'm looking forward to starting the bare ASM2 board .................. when time permits."
