"The 'new generation' of DX synthesizers (Mark II). This model has everything the DX7s added plus: 2-channel tone generator, which allows bi-timbral effects including stereo, splits, and layers. each of the two tone generators can be controlled independently via MIDI on separate channels, making the DX7IID do the work of two DX7s keyboards. larger LCD display and an extra LED voice display for the second channel's voice number"
via this auction "Very rare yamaha ss 30 vintage string synth , never released in the US - often compared to the ARP Solina String Synth .
A chunky (its heavy, 20kg!!) wood veneered string synth from the 70's. Its a dedicated string synth with all the control needed to make those 70's string sounds. It really has a rich and lush sound , wonderfully simple and effective controls. This example is 100% working and cosmetically in excellent condition except for some small chips to the veneer.
Control section running from left to right pitch/ detune - The outer pot adjusts the overall tuning and the inner pot detunes the voices against the pitch which can produce a wonderful thickening effect ( some sources describe this synth as a duphonic/ multiphonic ,others describe it as a 4 voice polyphonic. It uses divide down chips enabling all keys to be played at once)
Orchestra -Depth ( Speed 1/2 ,cello ,violin ) A great ensemble effect with 2 different effect types (speed) and the ability to separate the effect between cello and violin ( so you can have ,for example cello effect and violins dry )
Vibrato ,Delay/Depth- Very nice vibrato effect.
Sustain, Cello /Violin - sustain 1 control each for cello and violin giving again the ability to have separate amount of sustain for cello and violin sections . Very short to very long .
Keyboard split 0/1/2/3 .0 setting is no split and just the violin sound over the whole range. 1 gives a split with the lowest octave for cellos the rest strings. 2 setting gives 1 and a half octaves to the cello . 3 gives 2 octaves to the cello. The splits are indicated by a white dot above the note on the control panel Cello ,Volume, attack/slow ,cello1/cello2 - control section for cellos giving control over attack fast/slow. Choice of 2 cello sounds.
Violin Attack/Slow, Viola/violin1/Violin2 /Volume - Same as cello control section though the volume is at the far right.
Brilliance Cello/Violin Very usable low pass filter for cello and violin."
"A demo of the SIEL DK80 , a DCO-based Italian synth from 1985. The LinnDrum provides the drum beat, a Yamaha RBX170 provides the bass line, and the DK80 does all the other sounds.
The style is Italo Disco / Synth Pop of the 1980s."
"Things go very downhill towards the end, but you get the general idea. I have my 505 modded with trigger outs so that it can control the SH. All sounds, drum patterns and melodies created by me. I am not a piano player, and I'm not trying to make some sort of musical statement, just a demonstration of some of the features of the machines being used in this clip. Enjoy!"
Bass drum is Anti-Oscillator modulated by 2 Envelators into QMMG as a lopass gate. Snare Drum is Noisering digital noise into QMMG as resonant highpass filter + lopass gate. Modulated by Noisering. Squigily Wiggly patch is AFG into Polivoks. Cutoff modulated by the Vulcan. Ass-Bleeding Goodness patch is Dalek modulated by Noisering into Metasonix R-52 and R-54, both of which are eating shit."
